    Please keep doing this. Trying to find an up to date list of Physical SHMUP games its tough!!! Also if you have an easy way to copy and paste the names so we can drop them in a spreadsheet would be most appreciated. Thanks for all your hard work and research. The community thanks you for it!!

    Thanks for this list Jordan, and what a list ! From really old retro to modern going through "new-style retro", the Switch has an amazing SHMUP library... turning 40 next year. Probably my last "major" console, building a game library for my kids, this system is amazing ! Cheers to your family too !

  • @darrentg6
    @darrentg6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice list, I think you pretty much nailed it Jordan. But to be a critic...... you include Shmup Collection(VGNY), the Psikyo collections, and ShotTriggers releases that are by definition compilations, but you avoided general compilations that aren't necessarily STG focused but have some on them; but that means quite a few STG games that do deserve to be included are not. Konami Arcade Classics Collection, Sega Genesis Collection, SNK 40th Anniversary Collection etc.
    Anyway, I already have most of these, but there were a few I missed that are now on my list, much thanks!

  • @petewatson8074

    A few omissions I can think of:
    - Dariusburst CS Core + Taito / Sega Pack (not the same as Another Chronicle EX)
    - Eschatos
    - Neko Navy
    - Konami Arcade Classics (Gradius, Salamander, Thunder Cross,…)

      Dariusburst CS Core + Taito Sega DLC sort of looks like the same game as Dariusburst from what I have read online same stages just some more ships. I really enjoyed Dariusburst but haven't been able to work out if it's worthwhile me picking it up as hoping it's more of a change than what I have been able to find research wise. Strictly Limited have it for preorder at the moment

      I don’t get the rudeness behind your reply, but again and again, when you say ESSENTIAL it means you gotta have them although the number is definitely not essential.
      Me and many fellow collectors are around 100 games for the whole collection, so 95 is pretty much a collection on its own.
