MEEEE:

Some I really have 2 go-to's and for console stuff try to focus on console-exclusives, where possible...

NES/Fami: Stinger
Genesis/MD: Eliminate Down
SNES/SFami: Macross Scrambled Valkyrie
Playstation: Harmful Park
Saturn: Battle Garegga / Gokoujo Parodious
Dreamcast: Twinkle Star Sprites / Under Defeat
PS2: Homura / Dragon Blaze
Neo Geo: Viewpoint
Gamecube: Ikaruga
XBOX360: DoDonPachi Resurrection / Deathsmiles
Wii: Castle Shikigami III
Arcade: Pro Gear / Dimahoo

All that said, i'd probably take 20 SAT/DC games before i'd pick anything on GCN and Wii, of course.

Comparisons to Phoenix be damned, still was a far better game.

I need to give this game some more love. I enjoy it, but I am so terrible at it. The 2p co-op is awesome when I can find another sadist to play it with.

Yeah, it's a brutal game. My cousin and I could never get past stage 3. It really is great as co-op as the screen isn't so filled that you can't work together, etc. The only problem is...every single bullet bee-lines for you. I recall dying mainly trying to keep the bells afloat and get to the next color. Tough tough game. But fun and challenging.
