The game is a modern port of R-Type III, which first appeared on the Super Famicom in 1993 and reached the SNES in 1994.
It introduced the Round Force, Cyclone Force and Shadow Force power-ups along with a new ship called the R-90 Ragnarok. R-Type Dimensions III retains the option to switch between 3D mode and the original presentation on the fly, a feature carried over from the earlier R-Type Dimensions title. The 3D mode can be toggled during gameplay without interruption.
