Shoot 'em ups / 2D Scrolling Shooters

Any fans of this genre here? Here is a random example of the genre I am talking about. This one takes place in 2018 in Tokyo! While Japan obviously had 70 cm (around 27 in) of heavy snow this past Winter, this game ends on a snow day! https://youtu.be/W7zN49Lgm8U

Massive fan- though i'm terrible at them now since I'm so out of practise xD. This looks great! I wish more got ported to consoles- it's one genre I find died with the times. :/

I enjoy the genre. I've actually been playing DoDonPachi recently since I've had an urge to play a shmup/stg. I wish I could just find a big ROM pack with all of the good japan-only shmups though. :u

Forgot to also add: Yeah, it is a bit of a dead genre these days but I think it has the potential to be revived through doujin/indie developers. I mean there's always a doujin circle at each comiket that releases a shmup amongst the sea of touhou related games which are ironically usually games based on touhou but not in the shmup/bullet hell genre. :u Either that or it'll be kept alive by developers like Yoko Taro's crazy ass. To be perfectly honest Nier Automata was what reminded me of how much I missed these types of games with it's bullet hell segments

@space cadet That's a run 'n gun.

I've played a handful of these... though I don't seem to remember most of their names.... As for one I am particularly fond of... there was one on the mega drive from a third person perspective if I am not mistaken... Not Space Harrior, it was a Japanese exclusive if I remember correctly.

@suna Those same creators after closing Toaplan founded a short-lived splinter developer Gazelle and developed Sailor Moon arcade, the Saturn ports of Batsugun and Kyukyouku Tiger/Twin Cobra, and this game, Air Gallet: https://youtu.be/AFXeF9Qpw4c
