Though seemingly defeated after a fierce battle, the Bydo return from beyond the dimensional rift. The war continues from the First Bydo Mission (R-TYPE) to the Second Bydo Mission (R-TYPE II).

Experience newly reconstructed sound created using authentic handheld hardware audio. The original R-TYPE and R-TYPE II are also included. In Classic mode, players can choose between monochrome and color versions, preserving the feel of the original release. Modern support features include: • Rewind • Quick Save & Load • Full Power-Up Start • Rapid Fire In addition, a rich collection of original packaging and manuals is included. Relive the deadly war against the Bydo — now with newly realized sound.
