After two more years, Irem really learned how to maximize the SNES hardware for R-Type III. The results are just as beautiful as Super R-Type but without the slow-down. In fact, R-Type III really takes it to another level with its much more prevalent use of scaling and rotation effects. Sometimes these effects were even used to implement some very creative level designs. Because R-Type III was built specifically for the Super Nintendo hardware, it never made it to the arcades.
