R-Type Dimensions III Collector's Edition includes two-disc soundtrack
R-Type Dimensions III is the latest installment in the series of horizontal scrolling shoot-em-ups, following R-Type Dimensions and R-Type Dimensions EX. Key features include local co-op with new scoring and survival mechanics.

Developed by Kritzelkratz 3000, in collaboration with R-Type license holder Tozai and original developer Irem, R-Type Dimensions III is a reimagining of Super Nintendo title R-Type III: The Third Lightning. Players can swap precision-based shooting gameplay between classic 2D pixel art and 3D polygonal visuals on the fly. The swapping mechanic also applies to faithfully reconstructed high-fidelity music and sound effects.

The digital edition for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows through Steam is scheduled for release on May 19th. Publisher ININ Games has opened preorders for the Collector's Edition, available until February 8th, including 120-page art book “Lightning Reborn” and two-disc soundtrack set. The Nintendo Switch 2 release ships as a complete physical edition on cartridge.

The Strictly Limited store product page lists Disc One as a remaster of the complete original Super Nintendo soundtrack, composed by Ikuko Mimori. Disc Two is dedicated to newly arranged music.


From the Steam product page:
As the pilot of the R-90, you’re deployed into hostile zones that warp between normal space and the twisted Bydo dimension. Your mission: penetrate deep into enemy territory, dismantle the Bydo’s core networks, and ultimately destroy the heart of the empire before it engulfs humanity completely…

R-Type Dimensions III brings the intensity, precision, and creative enemy design of the arcade originals to a new generation. Every stage, boss, and projectile pattern has been rebuilt with high-end 3D graphics, enhanced animations, and richly detailed environments—while preserving the instantly recognizable atmosphere that defined R-Type’s identity.
