Shiki 3 hands down. After Border Down however I am alway interested in whatever G-Rev is working on.

There's really not a heck of a lot of info available on most of these yet (Raji has the most, I think), but offhand I'm interested in trying all four eventually, if they ever get a home port (I can't afford arcade stuff and the arcades around here are atrocious); I have to say that Under Defeat interests me the least out of the bunch, though. Of course, I may end up pleasantly surprised by it, who knows.

id love to say raijurgi or under defeat.. but im not that big on naomi so i guess itll have to be ESPgaluda 2 even tho that games ûbergay style doesnt appeal that much to me.

*sighs* Anything by Cave will always win these things. Cave's greatest farts would probably score higher than Raiden III coz it is Cave. Incidentally, why isn't Raiden III on the list while we don't know a damn thing about ESPgaluda 2.

EDIT: Some crap removed about ESPgaluda 2...damn, there are photos already? Cave moves too fast sometimes!

Probably because this is a list of upcoming arcade releases, whereas the arcade Raiden III has been out for a while.

I like ESPGaluda, but if I'm perfectly honest, I cannot think of a single thing that it does better than Shiki 2. Both games start a little slow, and both games have average music. Personally I prefer the artistic style of Shiki 2 and its weapon-set is much more interesting IMO. But I'll admit that I never really got comfortable with the weapons in ESPGaluda-- I'm always wanting a traditional bomb, I guess. And I'll admit that I have spent much more time with the scoring system of Shiki-- ESPGaluda's is still mysterious to me.

Everything, if you ask me. I like Shiki II... it's great, BUT...
-ShikiII = Too many damn characters. This is a turn off for me.
-Graphics are good at best. I'm not a graphics whore, but the Naomi is capable of way more
-I'm a sprite whore when it comes down to it
-I hate game music, yet kind of like ESPGaluda's soundtrack (Shiki's doesn't make me vomit though)
-The Kakusei system makes me pull my pants down.

Hmm, that would be all 4 of them I think. I am willing to bet on the fact that all the four mentioned games are going to see an console port in one way or another.

Btw, Under Defeat gets my vote! Least anticipated of the four is by far Radilgy (I hope they prove my scepsis wrong though). :P
