Random Shmup Name Generator

[agustusx]

Cosmic Dragon Black -should be "black label" lol
The Last Vulcan Wings -sweet
Night Rider Battle -I'd Play that

[HamidoOs]

I wonder if that generator spits out a name that has actually been used for a shmup

[spongdangly]

I figured I'd give a go a these random names:

Operation Base Final
Blast Cop Explosion
Explosive Cross Invaders
Bio Turtle Gaiden (I don't know why but to me this sounds awesome)

[Dave_K.]

Not in the generator, but should have been.

Flying Face Palm

[Thjodbjorn]

This really has made my day. Kudos for making it!

What about the words "strike" and "burst"? I haven't seen either come up yet.

I almost died at "Ultimate Barrel Returns"

4. Earth Rescue - What else could you be rescuing?

I came up with one too - Cybattler Awful Input Lag.

[Reverie Planetarian]

Super Barrel Blaze (Rare and Cave unite to bring you Donkey Kong as you've never seen him before!)

Magical Alien Blade (The untold moe-ified story of Sarah Kerrigan!)

Power Fighter(s) Perfect (Obviously the sequel to Power Fighter(s) I, II, and Jet)

Biomechanical Dragon Mission (Again, this sounds like a Dr. Ashens special)

Fighting Ship Thunder (Oh no, sir, we weren't making a Raiden ripoff, I swear! Ours has a ship in it!)

Operation Thunderbolt Blaze (One A-10 takes on the entire army of a power-mad dictator in...wait...that actually sounds kinda badass)

Space Base Eliminate (Or: 99% of All Shmup Bosses Ever Made. The Touhou series doesn't count)

Ultimate Soldier Explosion (Wow. That was one unstable soldier)

B-Ship Final (That's Irem right now, warming up their lawyers for a precision strike)

Elemental Heli Blaze (Speaking of Irem, Mr. Heli is back AND HE'S PISSED)

Atomic Ace(s) Zero (Oh good, just what we need. Fallout: The Belkan War)

Major Turtle Battle (What's up with all the turtle names anyway? Either this is going to involve Koopas or Reimu Hakurei)

Future War Duel (Yeah, that's what your shmup is ABOUT, but what's it CALLED?)

[Herr Schatten]

Ship Plus

Best name ever!

[ShmupSamurai]

Space Gaiden

The Ninja Gaiden of shmups?

Also, what kinda shmup would Ship Plus be?

On a lesser a note, I am now determined to make a shmup named Hyper Wolf Black

[ratlhead]

my best ones:

Turbo X Returns
Mega Turtle 2000
Mega Force Weapons
Biomechanical Suit Duel
Cruiser Mission
Dark Cop Perfect

[Reverie Planetarian]

R-Heli Perfect (Irem starts mixing shmups the way most bartenders mix cocktails)

Hell Robot Battle (Dethklok makes a shmup)

R-Vulcan Unit (No, guys, that's the R-9DV Tears Shower, not a whole shmup)

Galaxy Gun (...no wait, that's something from Star Wars isn't it? Yeah, it was a superweapon...)

Heli Heli Revolution (Rhythm-based shmup!)

R-Suit Final (...no, man, that's soon gonna be Law Suit Final)

Ultimate Turtle Weapons (You mean there's something better than a pair of sais, a pair of nunchaku, a pair of katanas and a full-size bo?)

Operation Wolf Zone (Heh. That sounds really good)

Brave Bomber Rescue (I wanna make a shmup or some kind of After Burner-like thing named that now. Think Phelios during the Gulf War)

Urban Bomber Thunder (Or this. Urban Strike as an actual shmup anyone?)

Operation Weapons (NO SHIT)

Turbo Cruiser 3000 (I want to make a car that's called that someday)

Urban Gun Battle (Or if you live in South Central, Sunday morning)

Shark Breed (My money's on Great White)

Star Ship Weapons (...NOOOOOOO...)

Alien (You take your hands off her, you bitch! *danmaku battle*)

[Seahawk]

Hyper Turtle Wings

Bio Turtle Gaiden

Magic Turtle Explosion

Aero Turtle Plus

Major Turtle Battle

Mega Turtle 2000

Ultimate Turtle Weapons

The RNG gods demand a turtle shootemup!

[StarCreator]

I just had a strange thought.

What if someone made a generic shmup engine with random elements that it would select and combine, to literally create a randomly generated shmup?

I almost want to start work on this right now...

[ShmupSamurai]

Sounds kinda like that Dezaemon editer thing....

The RNG gods demand a turtle shootemup!

Hyper Turtle Wings

Bio Turtle Gaiden

Magic Turtle Explosion

Aero Turtle Plus

Major Turtle Battle

Mega Turtle 2000

Ultimate Turtle Weapons

The RNG gods demand a turtle shootemup!

I called dev on Hyper Wolf Black, so who calls the turtle shmup?

[Thjodbjorn]

I WOULD make a game called "heavy cruiser breed", but it wouldn't be a shmup. Also, it would be a pornography film.

I'd liked to see that, there's no reason it wouldn't be amusing to play. I think it would have to be EITHER hori or vert, not a random mix of both on the same stage. It could re-randomize every stage and that would be fine by me.
