Super R-Type (SNES) Playthrough - NintendoComplete

[@mislavkirchbaumer]

I finally found this game, this is the first game I ever played as a kid. I remember we had an old CRT TV and SNES with only one cartridge and it was this game. In my memory I believe i've played hours of this and not going anywhere, not being able to understand what to do and how to pass the levels. The graphics were, again, in my mind, out of this world, it worked my imagination and really put me in space while playing it. These graphics were state of the art, I vividly remember dreaming about this game and dreaming and fantasizing about space because of this game. Bare in mind i was maybe 5 or 6 years old at the time. I can't even imagine what goes trough a childs head now, in 2024, with all this super technology and high definiton games and media around them. I think i've never beaten this game on my own. My dad would also take turns and play it and it seemd like he was the best gamer there is. Only now i see that this game is no longer than an hour of gameplay but I remember us playing it for a few years, simpler times I guess. This game brings up so many memories from my young days in the 90's.

Same! I couldn't get past level 2 lol

[@tetermc]

One hell of a first game man. Game is absolutely brutal.

[@iwanttocomplain]

With space being far away, it remains only in our minds. I hope it's not scary.

[@BlackKingBaldwinIV]

My father used to play this. It’s nice to see this again, feels like he’s around when I’m sitting back watching while just relaxing, thanks for this 🙏🏾

[@thebeardedpaladin3224]

in my opinion Super R-Type has the best and coolest game original sound track of its time.

Sadly it is the black forgotten ship of the family, even Granzella forgot about it in the DLC stages of R-Type Final 2

I loved this game! I never even came close to beating but it was still a lot of fun to play. The soundtrack was awesome too. I remember making a cassette with all of the music. People laughed at me for that but I didn't care. Lol.

[@wii1245]

OneRoomShed good news: if you get a hold of those ION cassette player, you can rip them to MP3s or burn a CD,, or better yet, have it vinylified.

Haven't played this game since the 90's and I remember every beat from the music!

[@ikuzoburandeon]

Same here! One of my first games on Snes, together with smw and f-zero too. Such an awesome time!

[@kobraa55a55in]

Ohhh the good old days. I played this game in the early 90s.. I'm now reminiscing while showing my like minded 13 year old!

[@NintendoComplete]

Well, it's a classic SNES launch window shoot-em-up, and it's a mind-blowing game (despite its significant technical issues). And if you don't care for shooters, don't worry - the soundtrack is more than sufficient to keep you entertained. Orchestra hits FTW!

[@_Majoras]

i'm surprised to see you haven't done an r-type delta playthrough

[@Skysmeller1]

Could never get past level 6 back in the day. This is the game that got me into shooters. My mom got my Rtype having no idea how hard it was and i played it so much and got pretty good at it.

[@phillipmennor2585]

What a top notch soundtrack for such an early Super NES game!

[@davidhill8565]

Super R-Type is coming to Nintendo Switch Online service.

[@JeffCreature]

Sweet gods, this soundtrack has been playing in my head pretty much nonstop for thirty years or so 😅 Feels so good to hear it alongside the old SFX again!

[@arashkordi7771]

After many years of not playing, I am sitting again with this damned game on hard level, and I have enormous troubles already on level 3 right at the spider point. So I know how hard this is. You are pure genious my man! Just so good! Hats of to your gaming skills!

I struggled endlessly with this game as a kid only to find out that my dad finished it in a week.

R Type 3 is a better game but I love this one the graphics and sound are classic SNES awesomeness

[@MiguelLopez-lr9db]

Gamer dads are the best, lmao; mine too used to be such a great player

[@George_Kappa]

I had the same experience with Terminator 2 judgment day, on game boy. As a kid i was losing for months, and when i played 25 years after, i finished it in just 10 minutes.

I'm so stressed just watching you play through this on Hard. Great job and kudos for making a video of such a feat.

I don’t get something is he using something to not die? Just that at 06:03 he clearly runs into a corner of a wall and didn’t die and at both 16:13 and 16:22 two of the bosses blue rays clearly go through him and still alive

I Used To Love This Game As A Kid. My Pops & I Used To Play It Together. Memories

[@i_hakz_mix]

At least this had a sort of special ending, what doesn't happen in R-Type 3, which just send a "You're a Super Player" message at the end of the advanced mode.

[@glovebox421]

i had this game and super mario for 3 years. looking back now i still remember some of the bosses that killed me alot. getting to the next stage was such an achievement for a 7 year old.

[@NinjaContravaniaManX]

I played R-Type on Gameboy as a kid and thought the slowdowns were bad, but this is a whole new dimenson.

[@DavidFlores-ix2cy]

Recuerdo que este juego salió paralelo a Thunder Spirit, por lo cual no gozó de popularidad, sumado a que en su modo facil no podias jugar en todos los stages. Mas bien su segunda parte (que vendría a ser R-TYPE 3) si fue un juegazo clasico de de los shooters de SNES y bastante recordado por estos lares. Felicitaciones por haberlo acabado en PRO debe ser una gran alegria como cuando yo acabé Axelay en su modo mas difícil. Saludos

[@howiejcee]

This was one of the few games that I loved playing over and over back in the day. Just learned of a now slow-down emulator version that I will try.

[@smokeyfrog210]

Please tell me what emulater. I've been wanting to play this game again but everything I've tried is just trash and I don't have a SNES anymore. This was my favorite game back in the day.

[@jonespianist3189]

@@smokeyfrog210 Current versions of Snes9x have a "reduce slowdown" option in the settings. It's also the most accurate SNES emulator now, second only to bsnes and Mesen-S.

[@JetSetWealthStyle-1973]

I like how the boss music is literally Rtype i & II boss themes overlayed on top of one another to make 1 boss theme.

[@jacobspowell4416]

My grandma had this game but I never saw her play it she was always a big fan of Super Mario

[@MIDNITENOWHERE]

In original SNES 16 bit version (not emulatron) I went as far as the sixth level in Hard Skill without cheats. The last level with Togra's balkan guns make You craze.

[@wicked6696]

Man I love this game and I still have this game since I was a kid

[@Bloodreign1]

One major problem, besides slowdown that this game suffers from, lack of checkpoints. Died at a boss? Too bad, do the entire level over again pal.

[@Peter_1986]

Am I the only one who atually finds slowdowns _helpful?_ They literally give you more time to react to all the crap on the screen, so I don't know why people have so much problem with them.

[@TheNintendochannel64]

I actually find the lack of checkpoints kind of helpful, as you can power up properly to the boss, instead of being a slowass ship with peashooter as a weapon

[@eightcoins4401]

The biggest issue is how godawful the first stage made exclusively for the snes port (this) is I can only get myselfto play the game by stage select skipping straight to stage 2

[@MrKaraokeguy88]

Playing this game again on the switch made me realize how good and hard it is

[@sebest2k]

the game is very often lagging for me 😢

[@craigharris9591]

You make it look to easy but this game is hard as hell and I have still yet to beat this one.. good job times two !!

[@George_Kappa]

The best R-Type music i've ever heard. These old time games were harder, but much better than today's games. We had great time with them even we were losing for entire months!

[@Animefanboy4life]

I wish they would ad the first stage as a DLC for Final 2

[@coct444]

How can you manuever like that with so many speed ups? Man even two speed ups is tricky due to that slowdown release. Good job.

[@DrCash7]

12:39 omg...how you even survived this...

[@Bryan-T]

21:00 was where I usually died when I played this game as a kid.

[@metalfreak9666]

I remember playing this game long ago and yeah the gameplay itself throughout further levels it got harder and I tried beating it without save states on emulators but kept on dying and dying so many times. How in the world anyone as a kid beat this, I've seen and played the original arcade before but this made it harder especially R-Type 3.

[@Alberto7tube]

Love this game ❤️🥰☝️

the Diffusion Wave Cannon (orange bar charge) is noticeably weaker than the one on R-Type II

Whoever is playing this has a gigantic set of balls. I watched it all the way through and the amount of times I clenched 💀

[@louiskeiflin5858]

This game suffer major slowdowns and lack of checkpoints, other than that this is a very good arcade port of R-type 2 with some levels of R-type 1.

There is a game with the aame aesthetic as this game but its a 2d platform first level then a ship level similar to this, then it then to over the top like old GTA back as a soldier. It was on the snes it would have been 1997 or earlier?????? Help i cant sleep still lol.

Axelay is a shoot-em up that switches perspective every other stage. It was released by Konami in 1992 for the SNES/SFC.

[@BeauDadda]

@@Xx1SailorScoutxX thank you but unfortunately that's not it I edited my original post but it's a ship level similar to this but on the second stage then it switches from the human sidescroller to an over the top similar to the first few GTAs?? This would be easier if I wasn't born in 1990 and most of the games I played and beat I wasn't even reading well yet lol

[@Vednier]

Looking on this game after so many years i just cant not see how much bullshit it is. Most of stuff happening on screen simply have no meaning. No logic in level and generally poor design hidden under some "fancy looks" and "interesting mechanics". Like that Level 4 where you kind of fight Red Ships. Is it supposed to be armada or something? Its designed so poorly you cant even tell its on ship or many. Most bosses is poor mess. Bizarre combination of flesh and metal, but stupid and pointless. Music, apart of several levels (mostly in beginning) is very dull and boring. Gameplay is ridden with slowdowns and glitchy sprites. Game like UN Squadron is WAY better.

[@Bloodreign1]

Basically you are fighting an evolving organism that man created as a weapon, and tried to send into a wormhole to forget about as it was a mistake mankind created, a mistake that was coming back to bite him in the end. The series is grim, a lot of the themes of stages in each game reflect that. Nothing pointless about it, and one of the better stories told in a shmup game genre. The level 4 ships are part of a Bydo armada, I find the game makes that perfectly clear, as this level in R-Type 2, the ships are metallic grey, instead of red.

[@eightcoins4401]

The og arcade level was a fleet, but it wasnt possible on the SNES. The snes version has a weird not that good remake of the giant ship level from R-Type I. Keep in mind Super R-Type is a REALLY botched port of R-Type II with lots of changes. It came out way too early in the SNES life cycle looking at how III runs way better. It used to be the worst regarded title in the whole Franchise before Final II. The real crime is the first level. Its a boring slog and you only get the force right before the boss.

[@sagemastergrasie9433]

Wow simply wow
