@Joeynator3000 Yeah, Radiant Silvergun is not a bullet-hell. Like Ikaruga, it's closer to a puzzle game rather than being a shmup that asks for precision in gameplay. But unlike Ikaruga, RS isn't as difficult. There's more variety in your weapon options to tackle stages in different ways.

Played a bit. Had to put it on easy. Made it up through stage 2C and died. I wish I could feed extra credits to see the whole game first. Maybe practice mode let's you do that. Though sometimes you have to unlock the stages in Arcade/Story mode first. Game is fun though. Really fun.

You have 7 different weapons from the start.
One is more traditional straight shot. One is straight and backwards. One is homing lock on reticles swirling around. One is heat seeking bullets. One is a melee deflection, one is dual lazers that swing outward in a V and back to straight alternating, and one is V shaped explosive attacks. Choosing the right weapon for each enemy is crucial.

I'd had my eye on this one for PC. Awesome it's coming to Switch

I found a Shmup Guide that gives some really excellent tips and techniques for new players to get good.
Here's some screenshots of a small section of the Guide, focused on techniques.

Looking forward to ordering a Japanese copy of NeverAwake sometime soon, before its release early next year.

We're gonna have the full Raiden series on Switch. 3, 4 and 5, with the original as an Arcade Archive. Is 3 considered the best? Or 4?
We're really just missing Gradius V (Treasure), Ketsui (M2 Shot Triggers),
Battle Garega (M2 Shot Triggers - Raizing), Batsugun, Zero Wing and Out Zone (Toaplan), Mushihime Futari, Guwange and Dangun Feveron (CAVE), and Ketsui (M2 Shot Triggers - CAVE).
That would pretty much be everything I want.

@JaxonH I believe the census is that III is the best entry in the Raiden series, yes.
Aside from that...yeah, Guwange and Dangun Feveron would be the top two I'd want at this point.
That track used for the character select screen in Guwange is one of my favorite tracks.

Some cool new releases are Deltazeal from Triangle Service (who also have the shmup-heave arcade minigame collection "Arcade Love -plus Pengo!" available on Switch in Japan) and the cool shmup/rhythm game mix Noisz Re:Collection (currently only in JP/America).
I purchased STRIKERS1945 III and am loving it--do I want to get STRIKERS II or PLUS (ACA version)?; I read that Plus is a later remake of II for the NeoGeo, and I'd rather just get the better version of that game instead of buying both (unless the differences are super dramatic). Thanks!
