R-Type II (アール・タイプII Āru taipu II), is a side-scrolling shoot'em up game originally released in 1989 by Irem for the Arcades. Most of the gameplay would later be remixed in Super R-Type, released on the Super Nintendo.

Story[]

The Bydo have returned! Pilot the new R-9C War-Head and remove the menace. The story takes place 2 years after the events of R-Type and R-Type Leo, in 2165.

Gameplay[]

R-Type II has retained the gameplay from it's predecessor, with the only major addition being the ability to charge the Wave Cannon an extra level for a super-powered shot. The basic R-9A Arrowhead has given way to the R-9C War-Head, being supported by the TP-2 POW Armor for this mission.

Armament[]

  1. Standard Wave Cannon: This cannon is the default for the R-9C.
  2. Diffusion Wave Cannon Prototype: At full charge, the Beam meter will occasionally flash orange. During that period, this cannon will fire instead of the Standard Wave.
