Asterbteed is pretty fun, and I actually find myself replaying it quite often.

Wow great to see this! My favorite genre, thanks again for these recommendations!
Death Smiles belongs up there too. I'm also a fan of Akai Katana Shin. I'm not a big Cotton fan, but with as many games as they released on Switch, you'd think at least one would make the list.

Akai Katana is my next one to buy. I actually am spreading the love on both my Switch and PS5. I just bought both of the Psikyo collections,I got the PS4 versions of those. I really love Shooters or Shmups,been a huge fan of them since the 90's.

Death Smiles is one of my least played shumps. Despite looking nice and having multiple player characters both games in the collection just felt really generic and bland. The only one I like less is the R-Type remake.
Finally have all of these on my switch except Rayz Arcade Chronology i have Raystorm/Raycrisis HD and Rayforce Saturn Tribute so pretty much have all of these gems
Great topic and video. I definitely will check some of these out.
Another interesting game: Pawarumi. Merci pour ta vidéo
Ooh. Dranius look interesting. I NEED it! 😋

Jeez , 20 years of Ikaruga - takes me back to the days when I was quick enough to be good at it 😂 totally love G-Darius - retro shooting goodness

Bloody hard when I play now!
I love this, and have most of the games on your list. But for me, Sky Force Reloaded is the one I always end up going back to. I'm not sure why - that game just sucks me in. The graphics are great, there's decent replay value, a variety of ships/weapons... everything I could want in a shmup. My second favorite is probably Steredenn, just because it's so different from most others in the genre. Good stuff all around, though, to be sure.
Like Dreamer and Gunvein were a couple of bangers from last yr

Indeed they were, I could make 3 or 4 lists with different shoot em ups
This whole list is phenomenal only game i don't have yet is Black Bird and my pick on this list would be Drainus hands down the game still blows my mind Sophstar at a very close 2nd i dont have Ray Z Arcade Chronology but i do have Raystorm/Raycrisis HD since i have Layer Section Galactic Attack Saturn Tribute amazing shoot em ups especially Raycrisis

Agree, agree and Black Bird is bloody phenomenal! Get it asap man 😊
Crimson Clover and Gunvein are worthwhile shmups as well.
Cool! Gunbirds seems better with the screen on the side. Unfortunately it’s a bit complicated to turn my projector on the side.
Hey great video man, thanks 😊
Thank you for the Shmup content!!!! Does anyone know if there is list of physical shmups somewhere? I want them ALL!!!

Just wish Jamestown+ got a physical release from somewhere else. Otherwise if I had to add, I'm sure others have as well but Mushihimesama, Deathsmiles, Crimson Clover, Psyvariar Delta, Ghost Blade HD and I'm going to include Falconeer because I loved it 😁
Never played any of this genre, any recommendation to start?
Drainus and Sol Cresta are two of my favorites on my Switch. I also love the classic Ikaruga

@@SwitchWatch I was very happy to see alot of your picks on the list. I went to a arcade we have here about a year or two ago that was converted from a old mall. And they had Radiant Silver gun!!! I was so hyped and played it because I never got to own that one. I now can hahaha 😁
Great video, comment for the algorithm.

What about Same! Same! Same! or Tiger Heli? Maybe they are only available in Japan or?
What's the best one?
About all raiden games are on switch too. But maybe they not quite good enough. But 4 is fun when play as the fairy
Eschatos! Its an amazing game even outside the genre.
Jamestown+ is a wonderful co-op shooter. I played through it with my 6 year old son.

@@SwitchWatch 100% agree. I can imagine that balancing a game properly around both single player and co-op is not the easiest thing, so kudos to the developers that get it right.
I like shmups but not bullet hell. Steredenn looks right up my alley. Thank you.

Tiger heli i got physical from playasia theyre classics
Here is hoping for a new Aleste collection with MUSHA in 2024 😊😊😊
What, no Vasara Collection? They're not incredible games, but they're certainly cheap! I think I scored the collection for two bucks in a sale. (I'm just glad you didn't choose Freedom Finger. That game exists solely to be obnoxious.)

Got another list with all those on it. So many Shmups these are probably my favourite 15.
Nice
Mushihimesama and Deathsmiles are probably at the top for me, but I guess the list can’t just be all Cave.

6:38 You had a friend with a Neo Geo? Every boy's fantasy back then. You guys were 18, so what he saved or his parents got it for him? Seeing all these games on today's consoles for cheap and stored on a Micro SD card (not an arcade PCB) blows my 80's kid mind, whereas maybe younger players today don't realise how expensive and out of reach games like this were in their day.

He did! His parents bought as a present but he no longer has it! What a shame!
Ikaruga is impossible to beat!!!!🤣🔥👎🏽 never again!
I feel Darius Burst is a touch better than G-Darius as the difficulty doesn't ramp up so fast. G-Darius to me is Stage1-2 easy Stage.3 medium Stage 4 very hard Stage 5 keep reloading your credits Plus you get a bunch of ships to choose from for a bit of added variety, but you do lose the awesome capture ball mechanic which is a major downside. But both games would be on my list so including either is a good shout, other Darius games are awful and would likely miss out on a top 100 list.
