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.
