Nintendo Switch 2 Game - R-Type Dimensions III Collector Edition

New Features in R-Type Dimensions III

Advanced Mode – A New Level of Pain
The entire campaign re-engineered for maximum brutality.

• Faster enemy movement

• Denser projectile patterns

• Remixed waves and boss variants
  It’s the closest thing to a modern arcade “Ultra Mode,” available right from the start.

2-Player Local Co-op – Bring a Wingman
Coordinate your Forces, stagger your Wave Cannon charges, and relive the golden age of cooperative shmups — all from your couch.

Instant 2D/3D Switch – Reality Is Optional
Tap once to switch between:

• Classic SNES-style pixel art, meticulously recreated

• Dynamic 3D visuals with modern shaders, effects, and animated backgrounds
  Swap on the fly — even mid-boss — for an experience that feels both nostalgic and cutting-edge.

Multiple Difficulty Levels – For Trainees and Masochists Alike
From introductory settings for newcomers to brutal Expert Mode, every pilot can find their (un)comfort zone.

Online Leaderboards – Climb the Dimensional Ladder
Take your place among global R-Type aces.
Score-chasing returns with modern tracking and bragging rights.

15 cm Resin Figurine – Dobkeratops vs. R-90 Ragnarok

  A deep dive for true shmup historians.

Two-Disc Soundtrack Set
