Awe, I wish there was more Saturn love on the first page. Saturn was known for the abundance of high quality Shmups. My favsie was Layer Section. The soundtrack was excellent and the visual story compelling. It also had an arcade mode where you could turn your TV on its side to get a more authentic arcade feel!

Grab Shooting Love or wait a couple months for the inevitable Caladrius localization.

This is impossible since it literally expires this month.
Is Shooting Love the best thing left to get? I see pretty mixed reviews on it.
Do any besides Strania have DLC I should be looking at?

Under Defeat HD perhaps? The slowdown in New Order mode is absolutely horrible but I think arcade mode runs a bit better?

Not actually that important
Shooting Love is one of the best releases on the platform imo, I own the JPN retail and I love it. $20 is an amazing deal. You should consider that and Under Defeat HD which is also fantastic.
I loved Omega 5. Really interesting chain system, like DoDonPach - requires you to keep enemies alive to get through the quiet sections of the levels keeping your combo active. Beautiful graphics in the later levels also.

Darius Burst was a PSP game. DBAC EX is an arcade remix that doesn't have a home port yet.
If one of them goes to PS4, I would hope it's the latter!
For me it's either a good arcade stick or a Saturn pad. Everything else just doesn't cut it for me personally.
Depends on what system I'm playing but ideally I'd like to use an Arcade stick of some kind. Saturn pads are always good too. I used to have one of those USB Saturn pads but I think it broke. So I use the MadCatz PS3 Fight pads in its place.

I used to be the same, but have been pleasantly surprised recently by the JLF with a Kowal actuator.

Any Dualshock. It gives me the most precise movement, the only downside is that it gets my thumb tired too quickly.

I don't have a 360 stick, so I'm a pad player. I hate the 360's D-pad tho.

anyone watch any of the stunfest shmup runs? jaimers almost unlocked the true last boss on his dangun feveron 1CC, errpo 1CCed dodonpachi daifukkatsu B strong. the energy was hilarious.
haven't been able to watch the akai katana, eschatos, batrider, or dragon blaze yet.

also, just nabbed a 3DS and have been playing summer carnival '92 recca, and I'm planning on getting steel empire and fantasy zone. Are there any other worthwhile shmups I should look into?

The Psikyo Shooting Collection volumes put out by Taito seem like good ports. I only have the Strikers one, but if they're all as solid as that one, they're worth picking up. I also have the Gunbird collection put out by Atlus, and that one feels less polished. They feel like bad ports of ports with extra loading times and jank. I wouldn't recommend that one over the Saturn/DC ports of Gunbird 1 & 2.

What do you guys make of this game?

bad gameplay lol
I have it. It's fun. Pretty decent Touhou-like. Definitely worth picking up.

It didn't get ported and it wasn't disappointing.

I've got Saturn pads hooked up to my supergun.
Never got ported, did it?
Sadly R-Type Leo was actually really disappointing but man did my jaw drop when I saw those screenshots.
It's a good game. And pretty too.
This is my wet dream actually. I even made a thread about it here.
If it happens I'll feel justified for annoying Taito on Twitter and Email for a while now XD
It was disappointing gameplay wise in that it did not feel like an R-Type game. Faster action, less memorization, but it sure looked amazing. I'd be proud to own the PCB or at least a home version.
Edit: I take what I said back.It's really not disappointing. I played the first couple levels over in MAME. I'd forgotten that R-Type Leo feels more like a ThunderForce game with some R-Type elements. It also has 2-play co-op.

Agreed, that it did not feel like R-Type I. That doesn't take away from the fact that it's a quality shmup.
Absolutely true.

shame since the sprite work is pretty cool (although what's going on at 4:40 lol?)

Image Fight is supposed to be a real influential game. Folks like Tomonobu Itagaki and Hiroshi Iuchi claim in interviews that it had a great effect on their approaches to game design.
Image Fight is so fuckin hard I don't find it that fun tho, lol.

Love these old school arcade flyers. Kind of a lost art.

Salamander is my favorite
Yep.
Here's the actual arcade flyer for 1943:
And for 1941: Counter Attack:
I skipped the promotional flyer material for 1942, as it wasn't as eye-catching, and either was the game itself
