Those of you who own the Nintendo Wii have surely made use of their extensive catalog of older games. It has been announced that out of all of these games, R-Type for the Sega Master System seems to be getting removed from Nintendo’s service on September 30th. The reason for the decision is unknown, but Sega is giving gamers one last chance to grab the title.
R-Type’s basic premise was a side scrolling ship shooting game. Moving from the left to the right hand side of a stage while destroying everything that got in your way. The game included upgrades, and other features that were very impressive at the time of its launch. Its success went on to create numerous other R-type games on a variety of systems. You have one last chance to grab this gem before September 30th when its gone from Nintendo’s online catalog forever.
, I cautiously prdceit that the final level will be Apotos from Sonic Unleashed, Sand Oasis from Sonic and the Secret of the Rings, or either Water Palace Zone, Coral Cave, or Blizzard Peaks from the Sonic Rush series. These stages are near the beginning of the game, where people remember the stages the most. Additionally, these stages have water features which would allow for the mandatory water level’ that appears in virtually every Sonic game. Since photos of the Emerald Coast stage have yet to show either Sonic platforming underwater, it is safe to assume that a water level has yet to come.Alternatively, Chun-Nan Day from Sonic Unleashed, Night Palace from Sonic and the Secret of the Rings, or Dead Line Zone from Sonic Rush could be featured. Just throwing those out there. It’s not going to happen, but in another reality it might.As for the Modern’ boss, we can expect one of Eggman’s inventions so that the boss order follows the console version of classic Machine, monster, modern machine. This boss’ identity is still up in the air, so it could be anything from the Egg Nega Wisp from Sonic Colors to Exception (featuring the most epic music ever) from Sonic Rush. I would count out anything from Sonic and the Secret of the Rings due to the fact that Eggman is not in control; the Erazor Djinn would be more of a rival battle seeing as though the character has consciousness above a normal boss. Eggman mechas from Sonic Next Generation are possible excluded due to Silver’s role as a rival, but that would cause a contradiction for the Final Hazard hypothesis, so Sonic Next Generation bosses are still a slim possibility. The machines from Sonic Unleashed have an equally slim chance due to the Egg Dragoon’s inclusion in the console version of the game, but once again, almost anything is still possible at this point.This is all pure speculation but hopefully at least part of my prdceition will come true. I had an inkling Radical Highway would appear, and lo, it did. Now, say it with me Chun-Nan Day and Exception!
