i'm playing pixel junk shooter right now if you want to count that. related but not really a shump imo.

resogun was great but i suck at it.

i'd (probably) kill for an ikaruga remaster on ps4.

yea, ikaruga would be cool. just makes me sad how much the PS3 was neglected by shmup devs last gen. I'd kill for those Cave collections that made their way to the 360.. ironic, considering Japanese devs not releasing Japanese shooters for a Japanese console. I read a while back that the MS environment was easier to work with, but dammit.. many ps3 gamers would of loved those shmups too!

Yeah so many Cave games on 360 =(

Would have bought them if they were on PS3

I picked up Mamuru kun Curse not to long ago, although I've only played one stage so far. Prior to that my last shmup was Touhou 8 2 years ago. I actually got pretty good at that game. Managed to 1cc it on hard. My skills have gotten pretty rusty since then though.

Touhou 8's a great game.. haven't played that a while also. Mamuru was a tad slow for my liking.. maybe it's the, no forced scrolling that did me in.. Just never could quite get into it.

Just got a new laptop, waiting for my new internet to kick in and I will try Touhou for the first time. Where should I start??

Imperrishable Night (Touhou 8).. probably the easiest one, but that's still an understatement. some of those bullet patterns are just not fair.

Man.. I hate it when your girl has to leave my place to come back to you..

Love shmups. Einhander was one of my favs. xbox live indies have quite a few good ones. gotta give a shout out to metal slug anthology on wii too.

Metal slug is actually another favorite series of mine. Got the anthology on ps2, psp, and wii. and Einhander was one of those that I picked up on my ps1 back in the days expecting nothing, but was literally blown away by how awesome that game was.. That's one game I've wanted on the psn stores for a long time now..

Man.. I hate it when your girl has to leave my place to come back to you..

Shoot 'em ups (shmups) are by far some of my favorite type of games, especially bullet hell types. Got my fix back in the days from titles like Galaga, Lifeforce (Salamander), and the occasional R-Type. Nowadays, I get my main fix from many Cave/Atlus shooters like, Guwange, DoDonPachi, Espgaluda, and others, like Cyvern, Einhander, and Vasara. Of course, because many of these shmups never make it to consoles, for many, I do resort to emus (don't hate.. you seriously can't expect a brother to be purchasing some of these hard-to-find arcade cabinets).

Ah, R-Type was it. Now I know why X-Type sounded so familiar:

Anyways, a double stick shooter like Nano Assault is already a different beast, or is it?

I wouldn't consider Nano Assault a different beast.. to me anyways. I've enjoyed those type of shooters also.. After Burner, Starfox, Ace Combat, Sin & Punishment, etc.. Though I personally play mostly verticle and horizontal shooters, i don't descriminate on a good shooting game.
