R-Type Command Hits PSP May 6
by Chris Faylor, Feb 13, 2008 11:16am PSTR-Type Command (PSP), Irem's turn-based tactical twist on its long-running arcade shooter series, will arrive in North America on May 6, publisher Atlus announced today.
Priced at $39.99, the grid-centric strategy game--known in Japan as R-Type Tactics--has players defending Earth by launching an attack into the heart of the Bydo Empire.
Close to 100 different units types, including Bydo craft, will be available for the purposes of armada building, and two players will be able to duke it out via local wireless multiplayer.

This is like taking the old side scroller "Mega Man" and making it a tactical shooter.

That may very well be the coolest thing I've ever seen. PSP is turning out to be quite the little tactics platform. Lucky for me it's one of my favorite genres.
psp needs more frantic vertical shooters ala ikaruga. i got star soldier in hong kong and that ruled when you flipped your psp vertically to play!
