In the latest issue of Retro Gamer, the team chat with Granzella’s founder, Kazuma Kujo about the recently released R-Type Final 2.

The celebrated creator reflects on how announcing R-Type Final 2 on April’s Fool Day caused confusion with excited fans: “For Japanese companies, April 1 can be considered the beginning of their year, so I was going to announce it during this period. Seeing everyone’s reaction, I regretted going with this confusing timing.”
