EDIT: Making my post a master list of all the games that get mentioned in this topic

Unfortunately I have little to contribute as far as the list goes but I must say I'm happy you made this topic. As a new PS2 importer with only DoDonPachi dai ou jou, I was thinking of making one myself after the search feature didn't bring up a topic like this. The Xenocide File for PS2 is severely lacking...

Already Released:

Raiden III
Espgaluda
DoDonPachi dai ou jou
Gunbird 1 + 2
Silpheed: The Lost Planet
Super Lite 2000: Psyvariar Revision
Super Lite 2000: Psivariar Medium Unit
Psyvariar: Complete Edition
Psyvariar 2
Simple Series 200 Vol. 37: The Shooting, Double Shineryu
Psikyo Shooting Collection Vol. 1: Strikers 1945 & Strikers 1945 II
Psikyo Shooting Collection Vol. 2: Sengoku Ace & Sengoku Blade
Psikyo Shooting Collection Vol. 3: Dragon Blaze & Sol Divide
GigaWing Generations
Shikigami No Shiro
Shikigami No Shiro II
Gradius III & IV
Gradius V
R-Type Final
Mushihimesama
XII Stag
Hudson Selection Vol. 2: Star Soldier
Choaniki
Twinkle Star Sprites

Compilations featuring at least 1 shmup:

Taito Memories Joukan
Taito Memories Gekan
Namco 50th Anniversary
Capcom Classics Collection (no JPN version

)

Upcoming releases:

Homura
Trizeal
Chaos Field: New Order

Much thanks in advance!

Technically its DDP 3 or DoDonPachi Dai ou jou. DDP 2 is DoDonPachi 2: Bee Storm made by IGS. There is no port for DDP2 (or mame emulation for that matter).

fare point with the dragon
and as for DoDonPachi Dai ou jou i couldent remember the name

fraggore · Post by **fraggore** » Thu Sep 29, 2005 8:50 pm

Ganelon · Post by **Ganelon** » Thu Sep 29, 2005 9:18 pm

Trizeal will be in a month or 3, along with Chaos Field: New Order.

Ah yes, Choaniki, the... homophobic shmup

Is it any good gameplay wise? I think I heard somewhere that former Psikyo employees worked on it. I am a fan of Psikyo shmups even if the company itself re-used the same GD game engine for almost every shmup they ever made.

Xexyz · Post by **Xexyz** » Mon Oct 03, 2005 4:50 pm

*BUMP*

I'll add Twinkle Star Sprites, one I forgot about. There has to be more shmups than what's been listed so far right?

Howzabout Sky Gunner ??

Don't think I saw that mentioned.

visuatrox · Post by **visuatrox** » Mon Oct 03, 2005 7:56 pm

Sky Gunner is not really what I would call a shmup. It is a 3D free movement arcade style air combat game.

Add Psyvariar Complete Edition, which includes Medium Unit & Revision.

Xexyz · Post by **Xexyz** » Tue Oct 04, 2005 3:34 am

Added

BTW, I've never played nor really followed information on the origional psyvariar. What's the difference between Revision and Medium Unit? Are there just balance tweaks or something or are they different games?

Diabollokus · Post by **Diabollokus** » Tue Oct 04, 2005 12:31 pm

Could someone add Region availability to the list? as in PAL/US/JAPAN

Could have sworn someone said dragon blaze got a uk release must have ment steel dragon ex.

Ord · Post by **Ord** » Tue Oct 04, 2005 12:46 pm

I think I read somewhere that the Dragon Blaze/Sol Sivide was getting a PAL release, or was it the Sengoku Ace/Blade collection?
Hmm...cant remember.

They are basically the same game with slightly different level designs. Revision seems more polished, so I guess it was made as a modification of Medium Unit. I don't know why they made 2 versions.

Well as I'm trying to collect every shmup released on PS2, I pretty much have a complete list of what is avaible. So... cut and pasted below:

*Removed scroll down instead to see updated list*

(I'm not collecting Korean & Asian releases, unless there is something special or different about them)

fraggore · Post by **fraggore** » Sat Oct 08, 2005 10:27 am

nice list including the release numbers

professor ganson · Post by **professor ganson** » Sat Oct 08, 2005 2:22 pm

Nicely done, visuatrox. Are you finding that the PAL and U/C releases are more or less identical in quality?

visuatrox · Post by **visuatrox** » Sat Oct 08, 2005 2:35 pm

PAL and U/C releases are generally identical except for the framerate and resolution. If I had to choose I would always prefer the U/C release. When things go wrong the PAL release is slower and has black borders (like silpheed). But if they do it right they include a 60hz mode.

Generally I always prefer the Japanese releases, and get the US and PAL releases for bargain bin prices just for the sake of collecting (and seeing different covers and being able to read the text).

I wonder the same, being a Psikyo fan myself.

First, is this game homophobic, homoerotic, or (most likely) both?
In either case this isn't my thing. And even if it were, I don't like mixing shooting with sex in my imagination/experience.

Still, I might break down and get the game if it had some quality gameplay. Anyone have an opinion?

Well the few times I played it I think it was horrible. But then I'm biased, because the graphics are so ugly and the whole concept of the game is wrong in all possible ways, I doubt I could look past all that and enjoy the game even if it had good gameplay.

Xexyz · Post by **Xexyz** » Sat Oct 08, 2005 3:51 pm

Well, it looks like I don't have to update my list anymore. Thanks for the complete list visuatrox. Not as many shmups on the system as I initally thought. I hope we see plenty more in the future, especially Cave titles. Wheres the Ketsui and Progear ports Arika and/or Taito!?

OK, thanks visuatrox. I'm going to skip this one, even though I'm somewhat close to a complete PS2 collection myself (minus the PAL releases).
