"Dethrone the Son of God"

Norwegian youths sign a dark pact with Satan and fly across the countryside, waging war against angels, saints, and the armed forces of Christian capitalist governments. Eventually they fly to heaven and fight against Jesus. If you make it to the second loop, you get to kill the TLB, the mother of abominations, the Virgin Mary herself.

A shot spews black blood at the forces of light, hold in for a white-hot beam of unholy ejaculation.
B bomb covers the screen in hellish fire, perfect for churches and other buildings.

I'm anticipating a Virtual Console release next year.

Ace Combat (or perhaps Shumps Combat?) V: The Fighter's Honor
Strikers 1945-esque shump with everything else comes from Ace Combat series, and with mutliple perspective a la Ether Vapor (and barrage your foes with thousand of missiles, works like Kamui's Thunder)
A:fire B:missile C: SP weapon (bomb)
or
Super Shooter Wars (too much?) or Shooter Battle Arena
What will happen if famed crafts (Rynex, Vic Viper, Raiden Mk II, Gauntlet, R-9, Silvergun, etc) clashes each other? Arena based shumps (not a shump actually, it can be configured into Ace Combat-esque gameplay), featuring 4 to 16 crafts in one area, clashing each other (well, there's some standard enemies too, and for team battle, call some infamous enemies from their own shump, example Silver Hawk can summon Queen Fossil (G-Darius version))

You hold button A, the ship speeds up yet lasers, you hold button C your ship slows down while firing widely. And all ships have huge breasts.

I'd make R-Type Final II.

I'd rip the graphics from the R-Type Tactics games. Well, I already started doing this but eventually realized I just don't have the time to complete it, unless I end up unemployed, in jail or a deserted island or something :/

I actually tried doing 3 colors [it was the original idea for bilateral]. It's a bitch to try to remember which button switches to what [of course, I probably should have had an indicator on screen to tell you what, but... that was back in 2007.], so I dropped a color.
Come check out my website, I guess. Random stuff I've worked on over the last two decades.

To please yourself like a true Shmup gentleman, wait for the limited edition DoDonParodius Pink Nipples, where the soundtrack is a "clever" remix of Scott Joplin ragtime evergreeens in the style of polyphonic ringtones, all ships now have somewhat larger yet somehow loli breasts.

It would be called Super Boss Ultra Blaster of all time Special Edition. It's multi-player online where the lucky player gets to be the boss of the level and shoots never-ending streams of pink, blue, and purple shit at the other players in their puny ships. Only problem is you can't dodge anything because you cover the whole screen, however, if someone uses a bomb on you, you get to use the mad-cheap insta-kill lazers. It also includes voice-chat so you can laugh at the Gamespot reviewer who can't dodge your bullet patterns, and rambles on about how it's kinda like Gradius, but unlike anything else, but just like R-Type.

Actually, I posted an April Fool's image last year of what I'd do... Thunder Force: Destiny's End.

I'd take the best aspects of TF4 (tall stages, 10 stages, loads and loads of parallax scrolling, Synth-Metal soundtrack, etc.), and add multiple endings depending on how well you did at stopping the forces on each stage. One ending has you finally bringing the ORN/Khaos/Guardian/Cenes Crawford story to a final conclusion, with the other end of the spectrum having humanity as we know it being wiped out. There'd be a couple endings in the middle as well (I figure a total percentage would decide your success, and perhaps beating the boss within a time limit like at the end of TF5).

I'd also keep the over weapon, but make it more like TF4's (not weapon specific, not stupidly overpowered, etc.). And though 3D these days can look damn nice, I'd go the pixel route. There's just something about the look and feel of 2D sprites that 3D models has yet to replicate. And yes, you can bet each ending would be satisfying... no pissy quick "contrats" garbage.

Darius Strike. Darius Gaiden style gameplay, Border Down type graphical touches, and a 3-screen setup like the original Darius.

"Drive-by Playlist"

You're on a spacestation that has a flat layout of a city, but no viewable floor; instead a view of empty space. Your objective is to cruise the streets of this city by the paths of the preplanned roads that segregate the floating buildings and destroy every building in the city. A building can only be destroyed with a charge shot. Four different shot/laser types of Cave-style control are mapped to the face buttons, but letting go of the button entirely charges the charge shot. The face button pushed launches that type of charge shot. Every building in the game will only be destroyable by one type of charge shot. A modified Grand Theft Auto HUD map in the corner will real-time update what attacks have been tried on what buildings that didn't work.

Meanwhile, the police army are chasing you in a continuous boss rush. The player will be able to hit the L/R bumper/trigger buttons to tilt 45degrees to take shots at the buildings during boss fights as both player and boss are fighting along the fixed road city paths. Boss bullet patterns will intensify the longer the boss is kept alive, so the player always has motive to kill the bosses without milking. Rank will reduce by a large percentage after every boss is killed, with a fixed time delay before the next boss appears so the player can destroy more buildings.

All selectable players will be based off popular forum users from a variety of websites.

Players will be able to pre-select their music or movie collection into a playlist that will run continuously as they play the game. The user's videos will overlay the empty space background but all the colors and shades of the video that match the color of the bullets, the player, or the enemies will be replaced or omitted so the user cannot be hindered visually.

The scoring system will be a total fixed number based on buildings destroyed. The few players able to eliminate the entire city and reach the maximum allowable score will be treated to a complex very long TLB fight with a variable scoring system so A-level players can continue to compete.
