NIS America has shared a brand new gameplay trailer for R-Type Final 2, the return of the classic side-scroller that's planned to launch on Nintendo Switch and other systems this April.
The video, which you can check out in full above, shows off some of the ship customisation options you'll be able to play around with in the game, as well as some of the weapon upgrades and bullet-filled areas you'll be exploring. It looks like this one could be a blast.
Coming to PS4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on April 30, 2021, R-Type Final 2 is the return of the legendary R-Type series, back and better than ever with beautifully rendered 3D graphics, exhilarating shoot-'em-up gameplay, and a multitude of stages, ships, and weapons that will allow you to conduct a symphony of destruction upon your foes.
As well as its digital launch on the Switch eShop on 30th April, NIS America recently confirmed that physical editions are also in the works.

I'm not that good at shoot them ups but I just can't resist them. I'm gonna get this one. It looks great!
The physical release from NIS America is very tempting.
Me buying this is as certain as the Sun rising in the East.
I own around 50 shoot em ups on Switch and if I count those within collections, it's closer to 70. I can't get enough of them. I like to think my shmup collection will top 100 by the end of the Switch's life.
Aww, I cannot wait for this! Hopefully all the gameplay trailers we're seeing reflects the Switch version.
It just looks sooooo good!
With this and Ghosts n Goblins Ressurection (& Capcom Arcade), it's going to be a wonderful side-scrolling year
@OorWullie amazing. Would you mind recommending a few highlights from your collection? I only have Armed F and the R Type collection, but haven't pulled the trigger lately although would love to
Preordered Switch version cant wait.
I don't know.
I loved the original R-Type, and bought the collection for Switch.
...but I'm NOT loving the blood and enemies - one of them looks like it's being beaten up by bullets for no good reason. I feel sorry for the creature.
Take my money!
As long as it was performs well I’m in. The overall design/art isn’t quite winning me over like the first game though.
@CammyUnofficial Sure. Tengai is my favourite retro shooter on Switch and Rolling Gunner my favourite modern one. I doubt anyone would argue they are the best shmups ever made but for me, these are the ones I've enjoy playing the most on Switch. I really love both of them. And I'd say, as a purchase for yourself, you can't go wrong. Both are reasonably priced too.
Some others being
Pulstar
Blazing Star
Gunbird 2
Dragon Blaze (really hard though)
Strikers 1945
Ikaruga (rock hard)
We’re doing R-Type Final TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
No but really I am verily excited.
Woah that actually looks really good. R-Type usually delivers anyway
@OorWullie thank you so much, really appreciate it - with so many titles I don't even know where to start sometimes. I'll definitely be checking these out/scoopin em
Looks like this will be the crowdfunding revival that lives up to expectations.
So much "yes!". I'm gonna have to have this, no doubt.
Is it a rogue like? Ie permanent upgrades? Or just the original formula with more stuff and fancier graphics?
