Which new shmup are you looking forward to the most?
Feel free to leave your detailed comments below, if you are looking forward to more than one equally.
EDIT: Made sticky for a few days, so all get a chance to vote and we get a true sample of international shmup community interest...

I answered Ibara because it looks the most interesting of the bunch, but in practical terms I'm waiting for Giga Wing Generations, simply because that's the only one confirmed for a PS2 release. Well, that and Xyanide, apparently. And I guess there's a fairly good chance Homura will get ported as well.
No matter how good a game is, somebody will always hate it. No matter how bad a game is, somebody will always love it.

it has to be Ibara,
see this link to understand why i hold this opinion:

"Immediately visible here are several interface elements common in Raizing's later vertically-oriented shooters, especially Battle Garegga. Visible in the lower left is a row of bullet-shaped objects; this is exactly the same as Garegga's bomb-chip counter. At the top, the font is a new one, but the arrangement of scores, the name of the stage, remaining stock count, and the "PRESS START TO PLAY" are identical to Garegga's. Central and most apparent in this shot, however, is the boss. Great and terrible prop-driven craft are common in Raizing games, and this one carries a minigun that recalls the dual miniguns on Garegga's Stage 1 boss. "
I think that a combination of cave dvelopers, influenced by raizing's classic Battle Garegga, is the ultimate shmup combination.

Ibara. I'm not a great fan of Garegga because it is wayyyy too hard for me to ever 1CC, but I love the art style and shooty feeling. The Raizing influence is great, and because Cave is developing it, I have hopes they'll get rid of the extreme ranking system. I'd really love it if they kept the difficulty at a manageable level like for example ESPGaluda, which people even complained to be easy, though I'm sure they are just too good.

"They should at least make 100K to have a good life"

I've almost given up on the two Cave games now--what with the Arika fall out. Anywya, I'd still have voted Raiden 3.
Anyway, with Raiden 3 on type X (this is true, isn't it?) a port is almost inevitable, right?

Eugenics: you know it's right!
Gigawing Generations, because it's the next PS2 shmup, and I can expect it in march. I can't yet look forward to some of those arcade machines because I won't be able to play them. I'm also looking forward to Dragon Blaze on the PS2, but that's not as exciting as G.G. since I've already played it in mame.
