    What a Great shmups .. Sega Saturn still one of my favorite even in this days. But I’m really not understand this empty hype about this “ Radiant Silvergun” Very superficial game , graphics mediocre , very high difficulty , overall looks not very good ! Soukyugurentai Is Much much better shmup .. it’s piece of art ! Look at this amazing graphics, this animation this effect level , look at this style … this is incredible how game looks like in 90’ . Thunder force 4 is still amazing too , and of course Layer Section 2 !! Incredible style , amazing level of visual perception !! Best shmups games on Saturn .. one of the greatest 100% .. my opinion

    Anyone notice he backtracks from his initial intro hook. he said only the top 5 or 6 are worth playing but ends saying no you can pretty much play every game when he said the exact opposite in the beginning. So why not just review every single game? except that one rpg your too lazy to play.

    I remember the Christmas I had it back in 96. I wanted it because I knew it was by the people who did Sonic and . . . I didn’t like it At first I had no idea what I was doing or what I was meant to do, and left it alone to go play SEGA Rally for a week But something kept me coming back to try again, and eventually the purpose of it revealed itself to me and I got better at it. And better at it. Until I beat it. Which looking back is kinda theme of story and game mechanics coming together. It was the start of me beginning to think of games as art like movies and books. I’m not sure I feel that way anymore but that doesn’t stop NiGHTS being a formative experience for me

    I think Fichina deserves to have a higher spot, im pretty sure its simplicity is intended as its most players’ introduction to the medal system. Its 50 kill requirement means you most likely get the medal without even trying and that feels really intentional. There’s no other mission that really hands you the medals like this one does, so it feels really intentional. Also I agree that Venom 1 should’ve been the real ending. Just try playing that shit on expert, it’s impossible

    Please DO NOT play DoDonPachi DOJ on 360. It's a very, very broken and bad port. A few years ago I definitely would've recommended everyone get a FreeMCBoot memcard for a PS2 and play the PS2 port that way, but nowadays the absolutely excellent M.2 Shottriggers port is available on PS4, so I'd play that if I were you. But DO NOT play it on 360.

    Raiden V might not be the best game in the franchise, but you can't deny it has some absolute bangers in it's soundtrack (Not to mention the same person who made the OST for Raiden V is also the person who made the OST for Elden Ring, Yoshimi Kudo). Raiden IV will still be my personal favorite from the entire franchise from a gameplay standpoint because it has that perfect level of chaos for me without going overboard. (It's also the first Raiden game that I got 100% Achievement completion for on Steam, with Raiden V following soon after)

    Darius Gaiden for the Playstation was a well known dodgy port especially compared to the pretty much perfect Saturn one. The best (imo) shooter for my 2nd favorite console.

    Aside from the "undisputed king of shmups is undoubtably the Sega Saturn" comment (I grew up Sega as well but it's obvious to any shmup fan that the PC Engine/Turbografx makes that "undoubtably" part a complete lie since every single time this topic or poll shows up it's a super close race between the saturn and the PC Engine, even though I only became aware of the PC Engine in my late 20s, it's clearly a huge contender/challenger) and the fact you completely failed to mention how utterly broken the Saturn Dodonpachi port is, this was quality content!
