What are some good shmups for the system? The only ones I have so far are Starfox and Darius Twin.

I think that about covers it. IMO Axelay is the best.

Re: Good Shmups for the SNES
not to bash or anything, but from my experience shmups on the genesis are way more superior and slows down less than their snes counterparts.
I came to realize the snes is more of an rpgs/platformer kinda console, while the genesis done better with shmups and arcadie kinda games.

There's also Super Aleste, UN Squadron, Aerofighters, and Super R Type. And while it doesn't have them ranked or anything, you can use this list if you're looking for completion: http://www.shmups.com/xenocidefiles/snes.html

R-Type 3 is definitely at the top of my list. It's also very worth it to import Macross: Scrambled Valkyrie, Pop'n Twinbee, and the Parodius games.

Re: Good Shmups for the SNES
UN Squadron is fantastic, but get a PC Engine or Turbografx. You will have a lot more fun down the line.

Strike Gunner STG!
I used to love that game back in the day! Pretty sure that's the one where players 1 and 2 can join their ships together to become super badass.

Thunder Spirits is a weird port of Thunder Force III from the Genesis, it has different levels here and there and a very different soundtrack (obviously), lacks auto-fire sadly but it's still worth checking out.
I recommend just about everything else mentioned as well. UN Squadron is newer to me and it's definitely pretty cool, brutal too. Haha.
