Haha, I like four-way firing... Call me a sucker for being able to drive a really cool tank. Also the shotgun... 'Nuff said.

I'm not worried, heck, even if Cave died tomorrow, there be another company over in Japan that would start developing shmups. The Japanese, AFIK, are just starting to get into FPS's, and even in that genre they had to make Half-Life 2 an arcade game!

Until gaming tastes shift radically in Japan, I don't think we're in any trouble.
