R-Type is a critically acclaimed shoot-'em-up developed by Irem. Following its initial arcade release in 1987, the game was ported to a variety of home computers and consoles, including the Sega Master System in 1988; this version was ported without credit by Compile.
The Master System version of R-Type was brought to the Wii's Virtual Console service in 2009. It is seen as an odd move, as a superior port to the TurboGrafx-16 had been available since 2006. It is scheduled to be removed from Virtual Console on 30 September 2011 at least in the US; no reason was given, though Irem had been losing a lot of money at the time.
