R-Type Final Gets Fresh For U.S.?
Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to a Gamers.com article indicating that R-Type Final for Playstation 2 has allegedly been picked up by Eidos' Fresh Games label for US release. This comes hot on the heels of news that the game, the latest in the classic R-Type shoot-em-up series, will feature an AI mode, with the player "able to define the behavior of an AI-controlled R-9 fighter, and pit two of them against each other in a race to destroy enemy craft, collect items, and avoid getting killed in the process" - though the traditional single-player shmup gameplay will fortunately also be present. The import-friendly Fresh Games label has also brought quirky Japanese titles like Mad Maestro and the crazed Mr. Mosquito to the West - anyone got nominations for other import titles they should consider releasing?
Angry Dragon
Immediately after you blow your load in a girl's mouth, smack the back of her head and make it come out her nose. When she gets up she'll look like an angry dragon.
Arabian Goggles
A "seldom-seen" maneuver when you put your testicles over her eye sockets while getting head. (Picture it: ass on forehead) It may be anatomically impossible, but what the fuck else is new.
The Bait N' Tackle
The sailors used this one in the old Navy days. Before you go off for a long, lonely voyage, get yourself a tall jar and fill it completely with earthworms. When you get lonely, open the jar and fuck away. The earthworms will provide some slithery stimulation, and your protein load will keep them nicely fed. Gone fishing!
Ballsacking
Takes some luck of the gene pool, but if you're able to do it, always great fun. While you are straddling her, take your nutsack and spread it out over her face like pizza dough.
Bear Claw
A synonym for extremely large pussy lips.
Beef Curtain
The shanked out remains of the labia after being stretched like Play-Doh from an hour or so of jimmy-jam.
Beer Dick
This is what most guys get after a good night of drinking. They tend to fuck anything with a pussy while experiencing beer dick.
Blumpy
You need to find a real tramp to do this right. It involves having her sucking you off while you are on the shitter.
Boston Steamer
The act of ending a relationship by depositing a steaming pile of feces on the back of a sleeping lover after a night of passion followed by a hasty departure.
Brazilian Flapjack
The act of Blowing one's love sauce on their partners sternum and letting her bake in the sun. The partner will then return later and peel off the cumjack and feed it to the craving slut.
The Bronco
You start by going doggy style and then just when she is really enjoying it, you grab her tits as tight as possible and yell another girls name. This gives you the feeling of riding a wild bronco as she desperately tries to buck you off.
Brown Bagging It
Sometimes you meet a girl with a body like there's no tomorrow but a face like a mangy dog. Don't let that body go to waste and let her hideousness stop you from fucking her though. Just draw the smiley face on a brown paper bag, place it over her head, and fuck away while keeping your composure and piece of mind.
Brown Necktie
You're about halfway through ass-wrecking a chick, and instead of filling up her keister with your demonseed, you pull out and proceed to tittie fuck her, leaving a brown streak between the funbags.
Brunski
When a man puts his face between a woman's breasts and quickly moves his head back and forth while saying "Brunski" in a very drawn out and exaggerated manner. (There are many other variant names.)
The Bullwinkle
The sign given to a friend in hiding while doggie styling' some chick. It is performed by placing both hands over the head, with palms facing out and waving wildly. Can be supplemented by shouting "Hey Rocky." (Make sure to use appropriate Bullwinkle voice tone.)
Butter Face
When you see a chick with an awesome body, "but her face", is nasty.
Cajun Hot Stick
The act in which the cock is taken out of her pooper and slathered in the pool of dip spit in the small of her back and then re-inserted.
Christmas Turkey Carver
The act of sitting carefully behind your prone partner, inserting three fingers in her vagina, one in her ass, and voraciously pumping your digits in and out, maintaining a perfect L-bend at the elbow, and using only your rotator cuff as a power pivot
The Canine Special
Liberally apply peanut butter to your dick and call over the family dog. Lick Ubu lick. Good Dog. Arf!
The Carpet Cleaner
While banging a girl doggy style, tie her arms behind her back, lift up her hips, and run around the room pushing her face first across the carpet. Not recommended with large women.
The Chili Dog
When you t

Whatever happened to the space shooter genre? I would like to see more.
I'm glad to see Gradius is still alive and now R-Type.
Ikaruga is also a great scrolling space shooter. It was originally on Dreamcast and is now being released for GameCube.
I would love to see a modern remake of Defender.
One of the most requested games has been Vib Ribbon!

This PS1 game is a music game, known for these very distinctive things:
On the old Fresh Games forum site, in fact, it was the very first game requested.

The game is completely in Japanese, but the characters are mostly katakana so it is easy to work through and translate. Here's the original Japanese site for the game's developers:

A complete English localization already exists, as Sony released the game in Europe:

Once again, USA gamers get the shaft, because all we buy are monster trucks and extreme-sport athletes, right? Right. *sigh*

Xenon 2:Megablast is another you might remember. Well they updated it for a pcformat tutorial on gaming, and finally released the program for download: Xenon 2000. dont hold them to getting the tutorial info online though, it took 2 years of "next month"'s to get the program itself.
.
. hmmm
Ha, I was just listening to Bomb the Bass - 'Megablast' last night, and thinking how it cool it was as the soundtrack to Xenon 2 on the Amiga.

Anyone know whether Eidos is planning a release outside America? It's frustrating seeing these "niche" games being passed over in my country. Still waiting for Animal Crossing! Things like Disgaea and Tactics Ogre: Knights of Lodis...
R-type was always one of my favorite coin-op games. When I owned a small arcade back in the mid '90s, I think I played the game more than any of my customers. Then again, this may be why I also had a Xybots in the arcade as well.
There was one sequel, R-type 2, that was released for Coin-op, but I have never seen it in an arcade. This game spawned a lot of look alike shooter, like St. Dragon, and Macross.
Too bad im too cheap to buy a PS2. I would like to see the new game.

So I slap a sticker on it to make my R-Type a Type-R to make it go faster...
Ceci n'est pas un post.
In the arcade, there's also R-Type Leo and R-Type Gallop(super-rare speed challenge version). Besides which, there were much closer lookalikes than arcade Macross 2; see Pulstar on the NeoGeo.
In fact, that's part of the appeal of Final; if the opening video is true, there'l be a flood of playable original R-ships in addition to ships from the other R-Types(including the console-only R-Type 3 and Delta).

Xenon 2000 plays *nothing* like the original and is shite, to be frank. Stay away, it's not worth the download.
ikaruga (gamecube exclusive) is hard, fast, fun and over too quickly (i bet you guys have heard that before! haw haw haw). it is designed to be played again and again though (skillz based ya know), so enjoy.
