Got a urge to play something like this, I have Ikaruga already and saw Sine Mora EX is on sale, so what else is there?

 

[Mr Hyde]

Radiant Silvergun is pretty good.

Thunder Force 3 (and 4?) is on there. Wish this was ported elsewhere. Both GOATs.

Here's what I have in the shoot 'em up genre...

Andro Dunos 2
Ghost Blade HD
STRIKERS 1945 III for Nintendo Switch™
Danmaku Unlimited 3
Jets'n'Guns 2
Bullet Soul -Infinite Burst-
Aces of the Luftwaffe - Squadron
SEGA AGES Thunder Force AC
Rigid Force Redux
Raiden IV x MIKADO remix
Sine Mora EX

Recommend them all, but would probably get the titles in bold first.
If anyone else has some Switch shoot 'em up recommendations, please post here

Thanks, I ended up[ grabbing Sine Mora EX as it was like £2, can't go wrong there tbh, R-Type is also on the list, not played that since the PS1 version back in like 1999 either

Another 2 I would recommend (as I have them on other platforms) - which are on my wishlist awaiting a sale, are Rolling Gunner and Crimzon Clover - World EXplosion.
Both are fantastic (on the platforms I have them on).

There are LOTS of good Shmups on Switch. Some of them you'll need to import as most of the M2 Shot Triggers collections have only been released in Japan. Some of my personal recommendations. A good amount of these you'd need to import but the Switch is region free anyway.

• Sega Ages - Thunder Force AC
• Sega Ages - Thunder Force 4
• Dodonpachi Resurrection
• ESP Ra. De Psi
• Dodonpachi Blissful Death
• Deathsmiles
• Raiden 3-5
• Batsugun - Saturn Tribute
• Devil Engine
• Psikyo Shooting Collection 1 & 2
• Hishou Same! Same! Same! (Flying Shark/Fire Shark Collection)
• Dranius

Was going to say I have some footage of some of the above mentioned games (PS4/5) if this helps?
Note: Hopefully it's ok to post a link to my YouTube channel here in respect of this topic (channel is not monetized, so it's just for information) - however, if it's not permitted can a Mod let me know and I will remove link!

Specifically look for Playlist 'Shmups' at...
