[edit] Rationale for fair use in R-Type

No free or public domain images have been located.
The image is of lower resolution than the original. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality.
The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the product in any way.
This is the artwork, intended by developer Irem and publisher Nintendo for wide distribution. As such, it has future historical significance, and is a more appropriate choice than any other image available.
This image is used on various websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is.
The image is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original product in any way.

[edit] Licensing

This image is cover art for a computer or video game, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the game's publisher or developer. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of game cover art

to illustrate the packaging of the game in question
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

constitutes fair use under United States copyright law. Other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
