I can't confirm or deny, but the R-Type series retread a lot of the same ground with each sequel. They loved those big flaming dragon things, and some of the bosses are in multiple games. It's possible that there's a 'flashback' level or something in one of the games as well. I've not played the R-Type games all that much, so I don't even know what clip was supposed to be from the first game, heh.
If you're buying it, assume that it's not in there. If it is, then it's a bonus, or an unlockable or something.
I'm probably going to buy this for In The Hunt alone. That game is fantastic, and there's never been a decent port of it to any system. Some of the guys who developed / did the art for that game went on to make the Metal Slug games, and it shows. The graphics are outstanding, and they do a lot of clever stuff with the stages and bosses. Very much underrated.
