Everyone that loves shumps wants to see Radiant Silvergun go to digital download including me..

Well..so I hate Treasure for not releasing RS for digital download

Kings Knight is a Square shmup.

[timewarpgamer]

Square. Both their shmups are so over hyped it's ridiculous, they're both ok but nothing spectacular.
I'd put Psykio as second to last. I really don't dislike them at all, I just like them least.

King's Knight for the NES does, indeed, suck pretty bad. But Einhander for the PS1? Are you crazy? It's one of the best 32-bit shoot 'em ups out there. I'd never insist it's THE best, if that's what you mean by "over hyped," but I struggle to think of any significant flaws in the game. Nevertheless, it should definitely be somewhere in the top 10 for anyone's shmup list for that console generation.

I really don't like Capcom shmups other than ProGear. Something about them don't feel right. I guess they are too mainstream, I don't know. I know they have a long, rich history of shooters, but I simply don't like Capcom's shooters. The 194X series is overrated. I guess I have been too spoiled by Cave and 8ING since the 90s.

Cave.

Oh yeah, I went there.

Well, technically Progear was developed by Cave, only published by Capcom, so it's safe to say that you don't like Capcom developed shooters.

Sega for what they did with Thunderforce 6

I don't actually hate that game, but come on it was Thunder Force mutha-F-ing 6. Lightening Force and Thunderforce 5 were out of control good!

[GSZX1337]

Thunder Force motherFUCKing 6.

Fixed. It's okay to swear on the interwebs. Censoring yourself makes you look like a lame ass.

[gradualmeltdown]

seriously? I don't care what the fuck you think how about that?
