I wish there's more Change Air Blade-style versus shmups preferably with jets and/or spaceships...literally.

I wish there was a Bubble Bubble shmup. You shoot bubbles on popcorn enemies with A, grab and gather them up with B when your counter turns red (when the current wave of enemies has all been trapped) then burst them with A for bonus points.

I wish for another new shmup that boasts "0% moe, 120% explosions". (Thank you, Yotsubane)

Was going to say that too! You run through cemeteries and other horror themed stages!
And true last boss in the same style as the Mother from Braindead!! Epic game that would be for sure!

Did you guys check out Undead Line?

Those aren't the same series. EDF the shmup is by Jaleco, and somebody else entirely puts out the new games.

Yeah, I was thinking this, couldn't remember the name in time.

There's a series that does 3D and shooting competently!

Not much into consoles, but it looks OK. What I had in mind was basically Guwange with zombies. Undead Line doesn't have quite the polish I would want, nor the danmaku clouds, although it does look pretty hectic for what it is.

Seconding the want for a Bayonetta, Vanquish, or Kirby shmup. I'd also love to see a new Raizing game.

In terms of what hasn't been suggested yet, I think that a new R-type STG is LONG overdue.

Well, Guardian Force (I can't recommend emulation in this case) sends a few swarms of... jetpack soldiers (?) against your armoured flying carpet. Then there's Air Duel.

I think Hydorah is a good game of the kind.

It would be nice if Squaresoft gave the genre a shot again.

Rayman Origins had a few shmupy levels and I like their style. They were really basic and easy by genre standards, but I think they could create something with real personality if they fleshed it out a bit.

EDIT: And more Caravans.

I'm really sick of the overly-anime shmups.

yeah, I wanna blow shit up, but why is the pilot a dumb little girl?

Totally disagree.

Pink Sweets 2 and Muchi Muchi Pork 2 is what we need.

Kirby's Block Ball seems to be as close as Nintendo's gonna ever give you. Highly recommended.
Not sure what you mean here since half of the Kirby games have shmup stages and Mass Attack even comes with a full fledged shmup.

I prefer something that more like that Astro Port's super robot shmup (not sure about this one though) or X-Bomber where you can combine/separate the robot anytime you want.

I wish there was a vertizontal Saturn Psikyo shmup that had more stages (in random order!) and a bunch of extravagant weapon powerups like in Space Megaforce.
