Prepare for Takeoff: R-TYPE DX: Music Encore Lands April 30

Heads up, shmup enthusiasts! R-TYPE DX: Music Encore, the blast-from-the-past port of a 1999 handheld classic, is coming in hot on April 30. Whether you’re wielding a PS4 controller, an Xbox Series X joystick, a Switch joy-con, or just your trusty gaming mouse and keyboard via Steam, City Connection’s got you covered.

R-TYPE’s Glorious Return: Now with Extra Nostalgia!

For those who missed out on the late ’90s handheld craze, R-TYPE DX was where it all began. This time-traveling encore includes the OGs—R-TYPE and R-TYPE II—plus a new “Ultimate Challenge” mode for those who like their difficulty served with a side of tears and broken controllers.

The storyline? Oh, just your typical tale of humanity coming face to face with the Bydo—a nasty biomechanical force that makes you wish you’d stayed in bed. Cue the launch of the R-9 fighter for the First Bydo Mission (aka R-TYPE). Just when you thought you’d sent them packing, they come back for more in R-TYPE II.

The Feature Buffet: Rewind Your Mistakes and Save Your Sanity

  • Ultimate Challenge Mode: Marathon through both R-TYPE and R-TYPE II without pausing to cry.
  • Soundtrack Bliss: Relive arcade glory with stage themes that’ll hit you right in the nostalgia.
  • Classic Mode: Play monochrome or color versions like it’s 1999.
  • Modern Perks: Rewind to fix your screw-ups, Quick Save like it’s your lifeline, Full Power-Up Start for turbo-charging from the get-go, and Rapid Fire to help your trigger finger.
  • Performance Tracking: Detailed stats for when you want numbers to confirm how much better you are than your friends.

Sonic Boom – The Soundtrack That Hits Different

If you’re looking to recreate that authentic arcade feel—minus the sticky floors and questionable pizza—this reimagined soundscape is here for it. City Connection’s delivering an earful of arcade-accurate tunes straight from original handheld hardware sound. It’s basically a time machine that fits in your pocket.

The Countdown Begins

The clock’s ticking down to April 30. Whether you’re a veteran pilot or a new recruit ready to take on the Bydo menace, R-TYPE DX: Music Encore‘s got something for everyone. Time to dust off those reflexes and brace yourself for impact because this throwback’s about to go full throttle!
