R-Type Dimensions III Release Date Pushed to July 2
Tozai Games announced on June 5 that the Japanese release of R-Type Dimensions III for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch has been delayed from June 18 to July 2. The delay applies to all versions of the game, including the standard physical edition, limited edition, and digital download. The company said the decision was made to incorporate quality improvements based on feedback from the PC (Steam) version and overseas console versions, which launched on May 19. The Steam version currently holds a 'Mostly Negative' user rating due to technical issues such as bugs, hit detection problems, and differences from the original 1993 game R-Type III: The Third Lightning. Distributor ININ Games previously outlined a development roadmap with patches planned for mid-June, early July, and mid-July. Tozai Games stated the delay ensures the domestic release includes the first improvement update at launch. The domestic Xbox Series X|S version, handled by ININ Games, is still scheduled for June 18 but is expected to also be delayed.
