Tozai Games announced today the Deal of the Week promotion on Xbox LIVE for its highly-praised Xbox LIVE Arcade title, R-Type Dimensions.

 

The Deal of the Week promotion for Gold members highlights one exceptional title in the Xbox LIVE Marketplace and is given a reduced price point for one entire week. Xbox LIVE members will be able to find Deal of the Week notices for R-Type Dimensions on the Xbox 360's dashboard, in the Xbox.com newsletter and in the Xbox LIVE Marketplace at Xbox.com.

"We're very excited about the value message this sends to the Xbox community," said Sheila Boughten, President of Tozai Games. "For only 800 Microsoft Points, Xbox LIVE Gold members will get both R-Type and R-Type II, which together make up the R-Type Dimensions title for Xbox LIVE Arcade."

Tozai Games and developer SouthEnd Interactive updated the two classic space shooter titles with two sets of graphics-both the original graphic set and a new, Hi-Res 3-D set with dynamic lighting-which can be switched back and forth on the fly.

"We also addressed the original game's incredible level of challenge," noted the game's designer, Brett Ballow of Tozai Games. "We decided to create Infinite mode, which gives players an infinite number of lives so that they can experience the entire game from beginning to end."
