The Shoot-em-up Thread!

Shiki 3 is not as popular because it is not for the PS2. That is the only reason why everyone seems to play Shiki 2 but not 3. Once again not my cup of tea, but they can be fun.

So, anyone grab Raiden 4 for the 360? It has been available in North America for a couple of days now. I'll probably buy it sometime soon. $40 USD/$50 CAD...you can also check out the Raiden Fighters Aces compilation, should be $20.

I don't know about other stores, but the only version that EB/Gamestop has is their 'limited edition' that comes with a soundtrack and a link to a PDF art book.

I'm also fond of Touhou as well.

However I am Shocked that no one remembers Twinkle Star Sprites. That shit was awsome back in the day.

Barely played Parodius, only a little of Parodius Da on the NES. Hell, I've barely played Gradius, only 3 and 5...

Twinkle Star Sprites was awesome, I remember the first time I was exposed to it was my friend's brother. He actually had a Neo Geo cabinet in a small apartment bedroom, easily visible from the corridor too haha. People are playing it online too, on 2dfighter. Matches can last for quite some time.

And of course there's also Phantasmagoria of Flower View, Touhou's equivalent...
