Title: SHUMP Recommendation Thread
Post by: darko on February 12, 2013, 11:15:15 pm: I though this might be a fun idea. We could even make more threads like it in the future.

When you make a suggestion I'll add it to the list so we don't have a ton of random posts to search through to see what the recs. This list is just for people to look at so they know what's out there so if you have 50 suggestions feel free to throw them all in at once.

Please include the region if the games are exclusive to regions outside of the US. JP, EU, etc.

I'll start it off.

Iridion II (GBA) - I picked it up tonight and played through a massive chunk of the game in one sitting. You can change weapons on the fly which is a nice feature and it looks great on the GBA.

I'll also put up Biometal and UN Squadron (two of my favorites on the SNES).

Title: Re: SHUMP Recommendation Thread
Post by: scott on February 12, 2013, 11:33:48 pm: Deathsmiles is an excellent Horizontal SHMUP for the 360. Same w/ the Vertical DoDonPachi Resurrection.

Gradius Collection for PSP is also really good and has a couple never before released in the US Gradius games on it.

;)

Are we limiting this to physical, or are XBLA/PSN/Nintendo eShop up for the running as well?
Title: Re: SHUMP Recommendation Thread
Post by: sin2beta on February 12, 2013, 11:45:00 pm: Lords of Thunder for Sega CD or Turbo Grafx is my favorite. I would recommend it to anyone.

I'd say anything goes.
Title: Re: SHUMP Recommendation Thread
Post by: scott on February 13, 2013, 12:02:29 am: In that case.

XBLA
1942: Joint Strike - Great updated version of the 194x series. Offers a pretty good challenge.
Guwange - Bullet Hell shooter where you play as Ronin or Samurai facing off against a demonic army.
Triggerheart Exelica - Futuristic shooter, Bullet Hell.
Trouble Witches Neo! - Horizontial cute 'em up.

Also, Raiden IV for 360 is prolly my favorite console version of Raiden. Offers the ability to play w/ the screen in tate too.

Does the Metal Slug series count as well? I mean technically they are shoot em ups, but if you include those you also need to include the Contra series

I always considered those action games, but IDK, what does everyone else think?

I mean, they are SHUMPS technically I suppose...

Yep, totally separate genre, though I know a lot of shmuppers are into run and gun games, too. Wouldn't be a bad idea to start a thread on those, actually.
