I think the arcade's music is fantastic, though in my opinion, the Turbografx-16 version I have edges past that slightly. Anyway, that game was hard to beat with a physical D-pad on that system, so I hope this game does implement the iControlPad as utmost precision control is required in a game like this!

Please, offer multiple control schemes. Tilt, touch, combo-of-both, etc. Let the customer choose their preference and allow him to adjust sensitivity to all controls.

The music in the Arcade version sounds terrible, I have very fond memories of playing this through (with cheats) on my C64. Awesome game, very impressive.

oh…right…of course tilt controls would have to be analogue, which is not directly supported in the original code. That shouldn't be a major hurdle, however, assuming that the people porting R-Type are the best ones for the job.

It needs touch for everyone who needs touch. I've beaten R-Type on most platforms since it was first released, and would have no problem with tilt controls as long as they were tweaked as well as those in Cell War.

My favorite version, I think, has been the Sharp X68000 version which I play via emulator on a Windows box. Lovely.
