Translation of the cinematic:

1 – This is a story passed down by the people since time immemorial. (Fi speaking)
2 – The history of the most ferocious and bloodiest battle never seen [As in it was missed, or not viewed]
3 – From the bowels of the earth emerged the pure essence of evil.
4 – His brutal attack plunged people into their worst nightmares.*
5 – The evil forces razed forests, dried up rivers and murdered relentlessly.
6 – They desired that which the Goddess) protected, ultimate power.
7 – Absolute power… In other words…

R-Type will be removed from the Wii VC this week

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments

Do you have any interest in R-Type? If you do, you should consider purchasing the title. Like right about now. There’s only three days left to download the classic from the Wii Virtual Console service, as SEGA will be removing it on Friday.

SEGA posted on their blog today:

“If you own a Nintendo Wii and you’re at all a fan of fast-paced, old-school arcade action, take note! This is your last chance to pick up R-Type: the game is being removed from the Virtual Console store this September 30th.”

I believe R-Type should set you back around 500 points. All things considered, that price isn’t too bad. It’s a fairly good game!
