I can recommend to any shmup fan to try two games. Radiant Silvergun - maybe one of the most sophisticated shmups out there - pricey though Rendering Ranger - also a one of a kind game aaaannnnnnnddddd Blazing Star - maybe the best looking and most playable R-Type clone out in existence None of these come cheap though. |

You only have one Thunder Force game... Bad shooter fan... Bad!!! --- End quote --- I got lazy. SNES has great shmups. Also I beg to differ. Sega Saturn (in Japan) is the Shmup console!! Thats why I dont own a US Saturn ony a JP one. --- End quote --- Super Nintendo has R-Type 3, Thunder Spirits (re-tooled Thunder Force III), Gradius III, Axelay, Space Megaforce (Super Aleste), U.N. Squadron, Aero Fighters, and it's share of Raiden, Darius, Parodius games. I'm sure there's many more I haven't mentioned. |

Snes also has the pop n twinbee's which are fantastic. Parodius on ps1 also really great. If you want something REALLY bizarre try cho aniki on ps1. Lol |

System probably won't matter, but let's keep it affordable. --- End quote --- For 360 in US Deathsmiles, Akia Katana are great cave ones. Also A must buy is Raiden collection 3 amazinf games for super cheap. Raiden 4 is also out on the 360 but not nearly as good. As for Otomudias DO NOT BUY It is complete trash, just buy Gradius 5 instead it is hailed as the best in the series. On XBLA you have Guange, Radiant Silvergun, Raystorm, Ikaruga, Strania, triggerheart Excelica. All game I listed are less than 20$ now I believe. Oh I almost forgot Deathsmiles 2 is on Xbox Games on Demand for 30. It is a port of the JP version. Nothing is changed or translated. |
