R-Type being pulled from Virtual Console

This is the last week in which you will be able to buy the classic 2D space shooter R-Type on your Wii via the Virtual Console.

The hard-as-nails shooter will be removed from the service on September 30, Sega has confirmed. The Virtual Console offering is the Master System version, which isn't our favourite in the series' history (the Super Nintendo entries are better) but still well worth having.

Sega is coy on the circumstances surrounding its removal from the VC service, revealing only that it's due to 'a licensing issue'.

Shame. Go grab it now.
