R-TYPE DX: Music Encore

In the year 220X, humanity encountered a lifeform from another dimension — the Bydo.

Survival or extinction.

The R-9 fighter, equipped with the ultimate weapon known as the Force, is deployed.
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).

R-TYPE DX: Music Encore features the ultimate mode, Ultimate Challenge, allowing players to battle through both titles seamlessly.
For the first time, this mode includes a full soundtrack.
Arcade-accurate stage themes have been newly implemented — including dedicated tracks for areas that originally shared music — enabling every stage to be played with the same musical structure as the arcade versions.
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.
