Axelay is an awesome game! But in my opinion it's one of the very best Shmup's for the SNES. Does anyone agree? If so why do you feel that it deserves the title?

I'm sure the hardcore retro shoot 'em up fans would disagree. I looked up Super Play magazine's Top 100 SNES games and Axelay was the highest vertical/horizontal scrolling shooter in the list.

Edgey, Gumshoe, Godot, Sissel, Larry, then Mia, Franziska, Maggie, Kay and Lynne.

I'm throwing my money at the screen but nothing happens!

I love the music and graphics. I haven't played it in like near 20 years though.

Axelay is a pretty good shooter but don't overlook Super Aleste (known in the US as Space Megaforce).

It is very good but the Turbografx Star Soldier saga is better for me.

Me gusta jugar videojuegos. Soy de México. Sorry my english grammar. I love the Virtual Console, party and fighting games too.

Not like it had a ton of competition. I look forward to giving it a go, though. I never got far in my previous attempts, but I saw some videos of later levels and it looks really fun.

It's the best one currently available on the Wii U VC, for sure.

It's alright, the "3D" effect is just weird these days. R-Type III for me has my vote for best on the SNES.

I disagree. It's a very good game, but I think Donkey Kong is the best SNES shooter of all time.

Nobody said Mortal Kombat.

It is missing something that e.g Space Megaforce (Super Aleste) / UN Squadron have.

I'm not very good at it anymore. I was okay back in the day but now I can't beat the first boss.
