(PSP) R-Type Tactics II: Operation Bitter Chocolate announced for October in Japan

[parallaxscroll]

R-Type Tactics II: Operation Bitter Chocolate (lol @ the subtitle) will be another turn-based strategy game, like Military Madness, Panzer General and Advance Wars, just like the first R-Type Tactics (R-Type Command in the U.S.) released in '07/'08, which was a spin-off of the classic side-scrolling space shmup.

The Japanese version is due to be released October 31, at both retail, and as a download. R-Type Tactics II will boast twice the number of units (200) as the first game. There will be downloadable content, also.

I hope Atlus picks this up for a North American release as R-Type Command 2, but there's no word on that. However, I'm sure it will, since every major R-Type game has been released in the U.S. and it wasn't until after the Japanese release of R-Type Tactics in late '07, that R-Type Command was announced for the U.S., which got released May '08, so I'm not worried about it, since Tactics II was only just announced this week in Japan.

R-Type Command is a GOOD game, for those who like slow, turn-based strategy games such as Nectaris / Military Madness.

While I would rather have a new R-Type shooter, (and really we just got an AMAZING remake of R-Type & R-Type II for Xbox Live Arcade with the release of R-Type Dimensions back in Feb), I will be looking forward to R-Type Tactics II and hopefully its release as R-Type Command 2.

I picked up the original when Amazon was blowing it out for $10. Still haven't opened it.

I enjoyed the first one, but not "forty dollars enjoyed" it. Hopefully this new entry comes out at a lower price than the last one.

And yeah: R-Type Dimensions is incredible.

CG videos are worthless. No gameplay.
