As I mentioned before somewhere else, there are a couple of 2003 Battlestar Galactica shmups, one for J2ME and the other is a freeroam shmup for XBLA/PC

There was also that space invader-ish led handheld from Mattel, though it was just a rebranding of another game.

edit: The handheld is more of a combo of SI and missile command, but it's definitly shmup-ish.

If we're talking about license games with shmup segments Batman on Megadrive had a car and Batplane stage that was basically a shmup. Not a lot of it though. :|

Also in that category are the hori segments in Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, the first Game Boy Batman, the second NES Batman, and the PS1 port of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure shmup would look like some Cho Aniki spin-off.
