ININ, along with developer KRITZELKRATZ 3000, has just released a new "port" of R-Type III: The Third Lightning, which IREM originally created for the SNES over 30 years ago. Dimensions is supposed to be a graphical update of the original game, but it's so inaccurate that it's better to think of it as a total remake that just gives you an approximation of R-Type III.
The Cyclone Force looked strong, so I thought it'd be fun to do one more clear with it. It definitely is good, but to get the most out of it, you have to throw your force out more often and use its AOE to kill enemies quickly. Honestly, I didn't want to spend time experimenting with all the best ways to use it, so I just played in a pretty standard way with most of the same strategies I used with my Type 2 clear. It's a pretty bad run, but I'm not going to do another. 🤷♂️
Type 3 is a bit easier to use in the first 5 stages, but Type 2 has the advantage in the last one, which is probably the hardest of them all. So I guess they're fairly well balanced. I only tried Type 1 once, but it seemed like it was the clear weakest choice, so I don't think I'm going to do a clear with it. I'm getting a little tired of all the bugs in this game and I don't really want to play it any more. To be honest though, if this video does well, I'll probably go on with a Type 1 clear too lol.
Just to reiterate from my previous video, this game is full of bugs and annoying issues, but I still had fun learning it. I just wouldn't recommend buying it until they fix the really awful glitches, though, like all of the invisible hitboxes you can crash into and disjointed enemy spawns in the last stage. The game's in bad shape right now.
Thanks again to ININ sending me a key for review! R-TYPE Dimensions III is available now for $34.99.

![[SNES] Pocky & Rocky - No Death Clear (Hard)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qo7kThNmTZM/mqdefault.jpg "[SNES] Pocky & Rocky - No Death Clear (Hard)
Pocky & Rocky, known in Japan as Kiki Kaikai (奇々怪界) is a free-scrolling shooter created by Natsume for the SNES. Its the sequel to the 1986 arcade game from Taito. The series follows the adventures of a young Shinto shrine maiden, Pocky (Sayo-chan), and her tanuki companion, Rocky (Manuke), as they fight through a variety of monsters based on Japanese legends and mythology.
This is a no death clear of Hard mode. The game doesnt change too much between Normal and Hard. It just seems like basic stat increases: enemies movie faster, have more HP, and shoot faster. You start with one less life and less bombs, I think. Its not a hard game either way.
The remake will be out in less than a week, so I had to stop procrastinating and play more of the original games. Im glad I did, because not only is this game pretty great, but it helps you appreciate all of the changes and improvements theyre doing for the remake. I watched the trailers again after playing this, and it makes the new game look even better. I think Natsume was one of the best developers on the SNES, and Tengo Project is one of the best developers around today. These guys dont miss.
