R-Type III: The Third Lightning Longplay (SNES) [60 FPS]

[@lorencarlin2087]

The R-Type series from Irem has got to be the best horizontal scrolling shooters of all time. If I counted up all the quarters I put into the original arcade, I might be able to buy a new car! I used to sneak out of the house at about 3 o'clock in the morning, and trek a mile to the 7-11 and play for hours. After some time, my quarters would last much longer. When they added R-Type II, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven! My quarters, unfortunately, dwindled quickly. Luckily for me, there was a nearby truck stop and I could make many quarters in a short time. I brushed my teeth a lot back then...

[@agreedboarart3188]

It's one of my least favorites, but it is undeniably a gem of a series, and I'm saddened that instead of games like these, we just get crappy bullet hells nowadays.

[@lemonsummer8484]

Pulstar look much better!!!

[@realguitarthur]

So happy to have an original, physical copy of this game! Hard as hell, though (to play AND to find)! :)

[@pardalgamesbigretroconsole4325]

A trilha sonora desse jogo é coisa de outro mundo.

[@Bob-b7x6v]

This game really brings the biomechanoid esthetic home the further you go.

[@headman82]

I love the music direction and how it kinda gets darker the further you make it. Great play through, nice quick kills on the bosses, especially stage 4. I hate stage 4 and the boss, but I’m gonna use this video for reference when I start practicing this game

[@worsethanhitlerpt.2539]

The "block" level is dope. Just rows of blocks that morph into monsters trying to kill you with evil music to boot

[@ascott7321]

Love the level designs in this game.

[@Bob-b7x6v]

I like the mobile suits screaming like Daleks when you blasted them.

Great run! This game is absolute gold! Still one of my favourite!

[@reversalmushroom]

I love how 1 of the forms of the level 5 boss is a miniboss.

[@knowgo411]

Damn this game looks insane!!!..(I was an avid player of the original Super Rtype when I had the console back in the dayz!)...Damm good game!! THE GRAPHICS & GAMEPLAY kept me watching& on the edge.of my seat lol!!.. So this was really on the super Nintendo aswell?!?

[@PythonomorphaMF]

Yes this was on SNES as well. It commands a much higher price than Super R Type, but it’s so much better.

[@davidsapir9638]

What a great run, expertly played dude.

[@eightcoins4401]

23:36 always loved the rearrangement of the R-type I boss theme that plays during that boss

[@giselletorres4156]

Been watching all the r-type games before III and I gotta say I love III the best as it's the most darkest of the bunch. Instead of funky beats we got some hard hitting riffs and honestly the sound and boss designs are the darkest I've seen so far. Also the ending where you desperately gotta escape, it feels more tense.

[@sobrouesselogin]

omg I forgot how awesome the soundtrack of this game is

[@JamesWilliams-fj8vf]

So glad I purchased this GREAT video game 🎮 🕹 new in box.

[@loganlive6044]

Lo juge con mi hermano varias veces tenía un error que no se podía grabar y de tantos intentos logramos pasarlo. Que buen juego excelente diría yo .Gracias por el video me hizo acordar mi infancia

[@Blahblahblah28504]

Oh my god even in the original compared to in Final , the Cyclone Force is so BUSTED.

[@inceptional]

6:06 How the hell is that boss being done? It's almost certainly Mode 7 because of all the rotation and scaling, but there seems to be a lot of animation frames there, and I didn't think Mode 7 could really do that amount of animation frames? I'm also not sure how it can be broken up from one big background into many parts to create the animation yet still rotate and scale and even separate into 3 parts at one point without the rest of the background showing all the frames being visible?

[@nevanfr]

Probably just mode 7 with the stars in the "background" being simple scrolling sprites. Shots from the beginnign of the boss also sprites with multiple scaling and not zoom. But just my guess, since mode 7 is background only, but the dev were clever :)

[@Ibarra6206]

Cringe jajaja

[@worsethanhitlerpt.2539]

Some coders can use mode 7 with additional backgrounds Ive heard

[@turrican3839]

Huh I've noticed slight differences between the NTSC and Japan versions such as the goo jellies that boss 2 shoots looks a lot like sperm, thus its red and has a brain-like texture, a boss theme is missing and the cellular morph boss has different colorations of each form.

[@darkerfalcon3747]

Cause Nintendo of America think that goo jellies are really sperms. So NOA ask at Irem to edit this enemy in order to not make sexual references.

[@mrreasable2015]

8:09 I think this boss retired, permanently! 😲

[@jahmirwhite7807]

What boss? I always thought that was just part of the scenery. Though, I agree. It kinda does look like a living creature.

[@srichael2713]

In hindsight, your ship throwing its Force unit to seal the Bydo Core is a lesson learned from the events of _Delta._ In _Final 1_ they took the lesson farther.

[@jahmirwhite7807]

I thought this lesson goes all the way back to the original R-Type, back in that game's final stage where your ship has to launch the Force into the gateway that protects the Bydo Core as if it was blocking the other way out.

[@srichael2713]

@jahmirwhite7807 It didn't stick because the Core got surprised that it got a thrown Force eating it the first time. _Delta_ happens after 1 and the pilot got surprised that the Core began using the Force to get a second wind.

[@jahmirwhite7807]

@srichael2713 Oh. Now I get what you're trying to say.

[@tr33tv]

31:30 show off :P . took me forever to figure that part out hehe

[@TheParappa]

Man, whenever I see R-Type 3, I'm so pissed of that I only got Super R-type as a kid which was total shit compared to 3. R-Type 3 rules.

[@Video-Games-Are-Fun]

yes it is far superior

[@reversalmushroom]

@@Video-Games-Are-Fun How?

[@AlvinEarthworm]

@@reversalmushroom Abysmal slowdown and no mid level checkpoints were the big criticisms against it.

[@reversalmushroom]

@@AlvinEarthworm Well, someone hacked it to remove the lag, so that's 1 of those problems solved: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2PVZ6qnrNNmo80 Also, didn't expect to get a reply from *you* here.

[@Animefanboy4life]

Imo if it wasn't for my cousin having Super Rtype I wouldn't have gotten into the series at all

[@yorkshirepud6676]

WoW your very Good at this!!

[@jasoncrandall5320]

The first level is great, but its TOO LONG. They couldve saved some of the FX for later.

[@agreedboarart3188]

One thing that drives me crazy about this series is the lack of an option to slow your ship down. It goes from being way too slow to uncontrollable if you are not really careful.

[@Extravaganza50667]

@5:10 3D background on SNES!!!

[@daviddamasceno6063]

Insane to think this was a Snes game. The devs put the SUPER in Super Nintendo! At the time, I believe my limit was stage 4. Actually... I do remember the start of stage 5, I think I got there once.

[@threemirai]

色んな姿に変身する敵面白いな

[@RetroPiero]

The mountain mass vagina with barnacles coming out of it, boss sure takes a long time to kill in hard mode...

[@martinhernandez656]

Jaleco(worldwide) now release city connection

[@Bloodreign1]

Irem created, Jaleco picked up distribution for outside of Japan.

[@aldoushuxleysghost]

I've never beaten the second part of Stage 4, where you're going in reverse. you made that look easy

[@shiningphantasy1393]

Stage 4 took a lot of repetitions to get fluent at and the boss required good concentration too. Since it's been a long time since I've played this game I wouldn't want to have to relearn it. I made it to the boss rush of stage 5 regularly but was stymied there.

[@deceiver444]

That Bydo empire is a never-ending nightmare

[@jahmirwhite7807]

The same thing goes for the Bacterian Empire from Gradius. But at least the Bydo were finally put out of their misery back in R-Type Final 1.

[@monoliferj]

Excelente vídeo 👏

[@KewneRain]

Now that I think about it, I've never seen anyone use the Cyclone Force before, most LPs of this use the Standard Force, though I watched one today that used the Shadow Force (objectively the best one, fight me)

[@williamfiuza8328]

Muita nostalgia.

[@Bob-b7x6v]

Death by Mode 7 environments and bullet storms.

[@Bob-b7x6v]

Lol, that L2 boss's choice of projectiles...

[@lucasjardim994]

19:52 I don't believe this!

[@keithforce1470]

i never seen the end credits when i first bought this game. wonder why they didn't put in end or staff credits? i get it now. it's in different region. in usa it's different bc 2nd boss instead of shooting out sperms it's shooting out eyeballs instead.

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

This game is riddic!

[@JamesWilliams-fj8vf]

BEAUTIFUL 😍 and HARD

[@williamfiuza8328]

Nice.

[@reubenguttenberg7405]

From factor 5 The creators of rogue squadron

[@Bloodreign1]

This is from Irem, not Factor 5.

[@deceiver444]

Factor5 were not involved with the making of R-Type3 shape or form. Could have been interesting though

[@retropolis1]

Excellent shmup for the SNES, but I never liked the choice of colours

[@musicvevo3521]

BUEN VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!

[@devinhallsworth5531]

Jesus christ! R type isnt a side scrolling shootem up series. Its a lovecraftian horror series!

[@小田学-y5p]

二周目以降の二面の赤の肉片みたいなやつも嫌だが黒も嫌だな。あと、ここのボス一周目でも簡単でないはずなのによく倒すし精子か卵子かわからないがよくかわす。あと、サイクロンフォースの場合黄色か青で行くでしょう。黄色が一番強く青が二番目が強い。さらに青のレーザーはその当たった場所の近くまたはちょっと離れた敵も倒せる(注:Wikipedia調べ)のも大きい。赤が一番弱い。もしかすると二周目の4面のボスは黄色でいきたかったのでは？

[@GERAT023]

boss design on the R-type series always weirded me out. they're not scary... but sexually suggestive? like, Gommander, the.. flesh put with the worm going in and out. eh... the Eye wall firing sperm'y thingies. idk man too many dots make a line. R-type final even have two people making-out in the final stage background. its just odd.

[@Ammothief41]

Ahah, yeah that one stage you're basically swimming up the nut sack.

[@srichael2713]

It's deliberate especially when the Bydo are basically human DNA-based bioweapons. In the background of Stage 7 in Final 1 you can see a the silhouette of a male and female meeting, hugging, "doing it" and looking like they merged. When you reach the end point, the silhouette reveals itself to be the Bydo Core.

[@Bob-b7x6v]

L7 = Cancerverse.

[@groovytaxi1969]

An extraordinary intro level for a super nintendo game. Unfortunately the rest of the game isn't as interesting.

[@nobodytonobodysbusiness]

While this is cool, I do like Leo better.

[@youuuuuuuuuuutube]

Looks like a much worse game than the original ...
