Did Ikaruga ever make it to the Switch yet?

If it's vertical, it's not side scrolling.

I'm going to go way off here and say Super Stardust HD on the PS3, even though it meets none of the criteria laid out in the OP. I really liked it!

Yes , And I hated it till I learned if you set it in replay at options menu which it actually gives you infinite lives and continues . Also change shield colors red to absorb red bullets and blue shield for blue bullets was confusing . Ikuruga is very hard after the 3rd stage . But yeah, great game love it :)

Oh you can change from white and black to red and blue.  Have it on GC and Steam.  Might check Steam version out see if color change is option.  I would prob prefer default white and black though.  Game is a pain but I love playing it.  Usually go by default live settings so never beat it and believe level 4 is farthest I've made it.  Think there are only 5 levels. 

My most fav though would be the 90s Raiden in the arcade.  That laser beam kicked ass.

So far Sine Mora Ex is the only one I've got and I'm loving it. I have Ikaruga on GameCube and it's awesome as well. There should be a shmup collection release, I'd totally buy it.

Im probably a solid 1 when it comes to shmups. I like some of them, but I think people would think I was faking it if they saw my lack of skills. Its that bad.
