Folks who know R Type will know that the maker is Irem. Irem recently announced that they are pulling out of the gaming industry and have opened a zoo as you can see from their official site. I personally think this is good news and that it wasn't very nice of Irem to make a game like R Type where you loose *All* your weapons when you was hit - even before the boss stages.
So the great rival of Konami (It's Gradius I am talking about here) has decided to pull out? Well, I personally believe the shoot 'em up genre is withering away. If you complained about R-Type, Gradius was even worse... Why? - You could crash yourself into walls; - The original speed of the spaceships are also hyper slow, good luck with a cranky vessel and your pea shooter after losing a life; -No charged shot, excepted for a very rare variation of the Laser shot; Anyway, my favorite in the genre remains Parodius. ^^
Ever gave the Thunderforce series a try, D_Blade?
No, but I really should... It's considered as being the best series in the genre on Genesis. ^^ But in fact I liked Blazing Star (on NeoGeo, via emulation) a lot.
Yup. Give it a try when you wanna walk down emulation lane. Thankfully, the company revived, so there might be more coming soon, glee! This nearly never happened: http://youtube.com/watch?v=3XLg5KNwgqo
And those animals seem odd... LOL at coffee-bean-spotted cow.
why do I smell april fools everywhere?!?!?!
Because I feel Danny has resented that his jokes had a mitigated effect those past years... So he is launching a wide area attack, from all sides and with elaborate weapons such as fragmentation/spread bombs. ^^
Nooooooooooooo!!!!! (LOL)
I mean jokes in jokes in jokes in... ^^
well i havent been around for more than a year but it sounds legitimate that he would.
Then please check older April Fool's posts... You'll love them! ;)
Wait, maybe my last comment is a joke as well. don't trust anyone! ^^
Yeah, don't trust anyone on April fool! Even fansubbers are releasing fake releases that look real, ~700 MB wasted. >_<
I don't know whats happening 6_9
I bet that cow give coffee-flavored milk...^^
Then a cow giving banana milk would be yellow! ^_^
i lol'd XDD
Doesn't sound like an April Fools joke... has Irem release any other game other than R-type? I really don't know... But I like the first R-type... the music was great for 8-bit Master System. But I sucked at it. A friend of mine did finish it though...
I cannot accept this course of action.
f'ing hilarious I <3 Irem
Lesson learnt, never ever believe Danny on April Fool's Day... The video was awesome, which maniac evaded all the beams and bullets? I need to shake your hand!
Ha, cool. I almost hate this day, you don't always know which news are jokes.
Lol this is funny..do I get to fight those mutated creatures.. a joke?! A striped squirrel looked like that one pokemon...
Yeah, noticed that one as well. ^^ Besides that, I do wonder what on Heaven and Earth what this thing on the far right could ever be...
Lol Possibly a wierd tengu bird...with a tohmohawk...for real I have no idea....
I near had copious amounts of stamina, so the only stage I ever completed for R-Type II, which was the only R-Type game I had, was level 1. ...But why switching to a zoo so suddenly '_'?
I would not believe anything I see today. =P
If I was involved in that zoo, I would strap a hat shaped like the ship to the head of a rhino, and then ships from the Bydo Empire on the other rhinos and hope they charge each other.
Long live the Bydo Empire!! ...Oops, wrong script.
