If each platform had 1 defining shmup what would it be?

[gennss]

In my opinion, these are what come to mind as shmup for these platforms

Saturn : RaidiantSilvergun or Dodonpachi
PSX : Einhander or Dodonpachi
Dreamcast I'd say Ikaruga
Gamecube also Ikaruga
360, Mushihimesama Futari (at least so far)
PS2 : dodonpachi daiwhateverblack, its all I ever hear about!


What would you say is the defining shmup for x platform? or what first comes to mind when mentioning shmup on x platform?
