News: A couple of classic titles will be playable both at home and on the go later this year.

Tozai Games announced today that R-Type Dimensions will be launching worldwide on Nintendo Switch and Steam in late 2018. R-Type Dimensions includes both acclaimed arcade classics initially published by Irem, R-Type and R-Type II. Each title can be played in classic mode with the original 2D graphics and retro music or with hi-res 3D graphics and remastered audio.

Two new features will be introduced in this edition: Full power-up mode, allowing players to power their ships to maximum weapon in Infinite Mode, and Fast forward, the ability to speed up the game in any mode. The Switch version will also feature in-game achievements.

Additional features of R-Type Dimensions include:

Two complete games - Includes all 8 original R-Type levels and all 6 original R-Type II levels

Two Modes - Switch between hi-res 2D/3D graphics with revamped music, or play the classic versions with the push of a button

Infinite Mode and Level Select - Learn the levels inside and out for the perfect, 1CC runs

Co-op Mode: 2 players can play together "couch co-op" style or add collision for competitive play

Slow motion play function: Weave through bullets and enemies with ease

Custom controller configuration: change the button layout to match your play style
