If you want an ass-raping I'd suggest Samidare.

Bike Banditz and Trouble Witches are for me the best recent shmups for PC.

In terms of non-doujin PC shmups, I don't know of much since Shiki 3 and Raiden 3 came out. If you like arena shooters you should enjoy Everyday Shooter, which hit the PC last year.

I really, really enjoyed Samidare. You will too. Banshiryuu is also delicious. Also,

Non-doujin not so much, maybe a shitty euroshmup or two.

Seconding Samidare, even though it can get pretty frustrating unless you're into memorizers. Also: RefleX, another game with shield system to reflect bullets, even though it's more spontaneous use than Samidare. Propably a lot more enjoyable for a casual player as well since the difficulty isn't so harsh.

Here are some more (Even though few of them are pretty old by now.).

You want a Cave rip off? Try Patriot Dark now that it's free :P Shit is amazing. It's DoDonKetsuiPachiGaluda Dai-Tou-Hou Futari Black Label Iridescent and everyone HATES the music (you can replace it with whatever you want though).

Also recommending Samidare. The Extra Stage is a gigantic, massive chaos.

For recent shooters, yes, RefleX, Hellsinker, Cloudphobia (available online for 15 bucks if I'm not wrong) and Diadra Empty come to my mind.

Of the euroschmukmups, Steel Saviour can be quite kickass. It has its little troupe of fans, hated by the rest of the world due to the inertia, big ass hitbox and the likes.

Stuff to look forward to: not sure, seems the only things coming out for C76 might be Touhou 12 ~ Undefined Fantastic Object, eXceed 3rd Jade Penetrate Black Package (remake of the old eXceed 3rd with more loli pr0n included for the cover! I wish I was kidding but that's the title) and maybe a new demo of Alltynex 2nd (Siter Skain has been posting stuff... and missile barrages, I'm already sold).
