How is the sound?  It IS arranged, correct?  The arcade sound is very poor and is unacceptable.  Hopefully they at least offer the SMS PSG sound, SMS FM sound or TG-16 sound... all of which sound much better and more pleasurable than the arcade.

I've been on the fence for this game.  I'm kinda with Tatsujin on the look.  I also don't like re-buying games I already own.  I also wish they added R-Type 3 in there as well.  To me the new angle seems pointless and distracting.  Sometimes I just feel that some games are good enough to be left untouched/updated.  R-Type is one of those games.  I understand low res oldschool games look like ass on an HD display but still.  Who knows though, maybe I'll break down and buy it.  It is R-Type after all.  I guess I can buy a game more than once.

I'm a fan of scanlines, but you can actually get a pretty decent picture on your HDTV with old, low res games. I know, it ain't no CRT action, but if you lower the sharpness you can get a pretty good image.

This thread has reminded me to pick up the TG R-Type. I've been hesitating buying games I've already owned in the past (besides DE - that was one of the first games I bought when I started collecting TG again. heh), but R-Type is such a classic and it's great on the TG HuCard. I hear the SuperCD R-Type Complete isn't as good as the TG Huey.

Nah, the CD has pace-breaking cut scenes every two levels and an awful rearrangement of the music.
