i think he ought to make a Part 2 next spring, considering the dai ou jou port being released in december and a number of games having been released since he made this video. it is the most comprehensive video on youtube that lists the good scrolling shooters though. even if he didn't mention mushihimesama . which is truly odd.
UGH! 😫 I blew it! I per ordered Deathsmiles at Strictly Limited before I realized there was a version on PA. I guess I'll let you know how it turned out in 10 months or so.

E.S.P. Rade PSI and Aleste Collection are both 10/10 releases and I don't regret importing either one. (Though both could be considered to be acquired tastes.) Mushihimesama just came out and is my GOTY for Switch this year. The publisher's other release, Espaluga 2, is also quite good, but more difficult imo. Lastly, I believe Blackbird is on sale for $10 right now on the eshop in NA and is one of my favorite games on the system. It's weird and complex, with secrets and a good difficulty curve.

Shouldn’t be surprised this list didn’t include AsteBreed. (Which goes on sale for like $2. Very often.) Then again, this is a list for physical Shumps. And unfortunately AsteBreed never got a switch physical release compared to the PS4 version which was done by LRG’s. Nevertheless still a pretty solid Shump game that changes its perspective as you go through each stage (2.5D/3D.) Plus the game has a great JP Voice acting cast, fantastic soundtrack & nice character illustrations to go with some of the story based cutscenes. A must have for anime style shump fans out there. Plus the game was developed by Edlewiese, same guys that developed Sakuna of Rice & Ruin. Clearly this developer of 2 employees are truly talented if they can develop not only an action rpg with rice farming simulation (Sakuna of rice & ruin.) on top of the affirmation Shump game (AsteBreed.)
