Don't (... do ) forget Bullet Witches!

[HamidoOs]

...and R-Type Dimensions of course.

A full list of current and upcoming shmups can be found in my Japanese 360 thread, located here.

There's also the upcoming Bullet Soul from 5pb.

Well, I recently found out that another retail Namco compilation entitled "Namco Museum Virtual Arcade" exists for the 360 in Japan.
Here are the shmups in it:

Bosconian
Dragon Spirit
Galaga (XBLA version)
Galaga '88
Galaga Arrangement
Galaga Legions (XBLA version)
Galaxian
King & Baloon
Skykid
Skykid Deluxe
Xevious (XBLA version)

Unfortunately, none of the non-XBLA titles are in HD.

What do the XBLA-titles look like? (well) Upscaled lowres or smooth HD conversions of the same very basic sprites? At least the latter I could imagine to look good.

[Kollision]

They are exactly like the ones you buy through XBLA, that is, with full HD treatment. I tested and checked both Xevious and Galaga Legions (which I already had).

I believe there are in total 7 XBLA titles included in the package.

Do the vertically orientated games have tate?

[Kollision]

I can check that as soon as my TV gets back from maintenance.... (hopefully this week)

[professor ganson]

Hey crackfox, all of the following are excellent:
Shooting Love
Shikigami no Shiro 3
Raiden IV
I like these as much as-- or even more than-- any of the Cave titles.

[crackfox]

Thanks for all your helpful suggestions folks!!!
I shall investigate!!!

I checked this last night.
Unfortunately, the answer to your question is no.

That's a shame. Thanks for the information.

That's bloody typical. The lack of TATE is really stopping me from getting any of these arcade collections. I got Time Pilot (and it's awesome) but I don't play it at all due to the lack of TATE.
