Super R-Type (USA)
Super R-Type is a shooter game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, developed and published by Irem in 1991. It is a remake of R-Type II in a manner similar to the SNES version of Gradius III. The game has been re-released on the Wii Virtual Console in North America, Japan, and PAL regions in 2008.
Super R-Type borrows four stages from R-Type II and adds three new ones. The game is known for its high difficulty (even compared to other games in the series), particularly because of its lack of checkpoints, since dying means restarting the level from scratch. Also, this game suffers from slowdown, which was also a problem in many early SNES games. But unlike the others Super R-Type slows down to virtual standstill when there are many things on the screen. However, it was useful for players when there were too many shots because it was easier to avoid them.
