<p>Looks like Retro-Bit is once again targeting retro gamer’s wallets in early 2018 with a couple of exclusive physical re-releases. </p>
<p>R-Type<strong>pe Returns</strong> will bring both excellent entries of the series exclusive to the Super Nintendo (<a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/2008/03/super_r_type_virtual_console"><strong>Super R-Type</strong></a> and <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/2007/01/r_type_iii_the_third_lightning_virtual_console"><strong>R-Type III: The Third Lightning</strong></a>) in a single multicart. This limited edition includes box, instruction manual, stickers, lithographs, a pin and a certificate of authenticity. The first run which is limited to one thousand units is currently letting costumers choose the desired cartridge colour.</p>

<p>NES fans need not feel left out because Retro-Bit is giving a similar treatment to another Irem retro game a new chance at the spotlight: the rather impressive <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/vc/castlevania_nes">Castlevania</a></strong>-like <strong>Holy Diver</strong>. The same exclusive thousand run physical treatment will be given to this challenging platformer, along with all the same extras you will get with the previous <strong>R-Type</strong> bundle.</p>

<p>Price points have not yet been disclosed or a solid release date other than “2018”. Yet considering the amount of money currently a complete-in-the-box copy of <strong>R-Type III</strong> will set any SNES collector these are certainly enticing. You will be able to pick these two from <a href="https://castlemaniagames.com/coming-soon">Castlemania Games</a> while Switch owners will look forward to further Irem games showing up on the system courtesy of Hamster’s Arcade Archives.</p>
<p>Tempted by these two? Tell us in the comments.</p>
