Wait, this is a shmup and not a boxing sim? That title sure had me fooled.

comp for the lack of a NES R-Type port

Speccy wins again

Anyway as anon said it's an Irem game and they didn't put R-Type on the NES for reasons unknown so they gave you this nice little shmup instead.

The name sounds cool, so it fits.

Jokes aside does anyone know why R-Type didn't get an NES port? I mean look at this, almost every system got a port but not the NES

Headcanon, but the most logical answer I can think of is Humble/NEC persuaded them not to somehow since it was a pack in game for the PC Engine

Also, ironically, the arcade version is the last arcade game distributed by Nintendo in North America

neat

Perhaps it has to do with Konami being a Nintendo developer and not wanting to get the competition of Gradius on it.

Should have been a fighting game where you can do Spawn vs. Witchblade

This makes sense, maybe NEC paid for exclusivity
