Best shmups on Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA)

[shwisha]

Hey I'm looking to try a lot of shmups in 2013. I juts got 1942 for XBLA got any other recommendations?

Guwange
Trouble Witches Neo

I'd say Triggerheart Exelica, but I much prefer the Dreamcast version..

Ikaruga and Radiant Silvergun are the obligatory responses.

Personally I'd recommend R-Type Dimensions because R-Type is the greatest shmup ever created.

Although most shmup fanatics don't care for it, I thought Sine Mora was great.

Strania is another one, I haven't played much of it though.

We have a dedicated thread in the shmups for for xbla games that will have other's suggestions as well.

Guwange is all I need

guwange is probably the best one that's not available on another console. raiden IV is awesome, too, but that's on a disc.

I enjoyed Strania greatly. I created a threadfor the game, but it was pretty short lived. I put the game on the back burner and have been meaning to get back into it.
