Keep plugging away at Inexis and eventually, it'll un-exist.

A pair of classic arcade shooters are coming to the Switch this winter.

Irem's classic shooter duo of R-Type I and II will launch on Japanese Switches this winter as R-Type Dimensions, published by Japanese firm Tozai Games. The game will release worldwide, after initially being announced for Japan.

The original R-Type space shooters date back to the mid-to-late 1980s, and have release previously on the Famicom and PC Engine as well as in arcades. The Switch set's features include online leaderboards and swappable retro or modern graphics similar to Lizardcube and DotEmu's Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap release.

Wait, wasn't Dimensions de-listed from the XBox store? So they got the rights back together or something?

I believe it was de-listed for a while, but reappeared a year or two later.
