R-Type – Wii Virtual Console

R-TYPE – Now available to buy for all European Wii owners

Finally! Last as usual – US release was 25th Dec 06 – but at least it’s cheaper (800 Wii points) than the Japanese version which costs a hefty 1200 Wii points (split into R-Type I and R-Type II each containing 4 levels).

If this version of R-Type is a big hit IREM might be persuaded to make (or re-release) some more R-Type games, even after R-Type Final was apparently the last game in the series. They even put final in the title to remind us.

Me? I’m playing R-Type at the moment (I wrote this post last night) whilst testing out my new Wii classic controller at the same time (Christmas gift from my brother).
