Might be an idea to include some form of rating to the list Metacritic or similar.

I think the rating idea is great. So many games nowadays, so hard to choose from.

Not sure how I missed those Wii U shooters the first time around, but good to see they're coming over as well. Full Blast looks like a decent old school send-up. Also, that Vasara HD collection is definitely on my radar!

Man, they're even porting shovelware from the Wii U now? I hope there's some more actual worthwhile shmups on Switch that aren't just ports of old games or shovelware coming at some point in the future.

I really wanted to like Shikhondo but I just can't. Bosses have too much health and therefore the patterns repeat a few times. The sprite art is pretty good and it's not a euroshump, but it doesn't quite stick the landing. Not a lot of "urgency" and the pacing is pretty poor.

Pretty much my thoughts too. I will give a few more runs though.

It would be a great idea to link metacritic scores, but I think there’s not automatic way to update it. I also would like to add title screen pic of every game but rows seem to be limited in some way and table is getting big and can’t be sorted by price, orientation, etc...

List updated.

Surprisingly enough, Sega Ages has ported Thunder Force IV to the Switch. Appears to have happened one or two days ago, at least as far as the American version goes.

EDIT: Okay, missed the prior announcement of Space Harrier, so not that surprising. I wouldn't have minded seeing TF3 pop up as well, though.

(Now, what do you suppose our chances of getting Elemental Master are?)

Are we still counting twin-stick Geometry Wars clones as "shmups"? :roll:

There is already a thread for it but 4 of the Psikyo releases are being put into a physical compilation in case you wanted to put this in the OP: https://www.play-asia.com/psikyo-collec ... /13/70c7gd

The release date has hit and PA is awaiting stock.

Is there any place I can check how many action buttons are needed in games? I would like to add the information just for padhacks or cab setups

I am eagerly anticipating this game. It's from a former Love-de-lic developer and they're known for pretty crazy and heartfelt experiences.
