Wait, is that the Cerberus? Edit: A Google search leading to the R-Type wiki confirms that this is the Cerberus (or, at least, in the same development line as the Cerberus): http://rtype.wikia.com/wiki/R-13A_Cerberus
Yeah, the Anchor Force used on both the R-13A and R-13A2 is great, considering that its chain can also do some damage, but I hated having to deal with the loss of control I had with the Anchor Force DX on the R-13B. The upgrades to the lasers just wasn't worth the trouble.
I wouldn't be surprised if they did release another one though, because they released three other R-Type games after "Final" despite originally insisting that "Final" was actually that. But Touhou R-Type would be really cool.

I think it's more accurate to say that R-Type Final is chronologically the last game in the series, or the last new game in the series to play like a traditional SHMUP. Tactics and Command are strategy RPGs, while Dimensions is a remake compilation of the first two games.
