Games like Contra or games like Gradius?

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

More like Gradius for me but I do like platforming shooters as well.

Platform shooters by a mile. Megaman all the way!

If you add me, I need to at least know you or I won't add you back.

Games like The Order: 1886 are better!!!!! Hahahaha I couldn't resist.

But seriously... It depends on the game.

I own a Wii U and 3DS. I also own a PS4!

2 of my favourite 16 bit shooters from each genre are Hellfire and Gunstar Heroes.While they both still look and play great I enjoy playing Hellfire more and still have a go at it from time to time,with the benefit of save states as I'm not as skilled as a young me was

Not counting Megaman as part of this auto scrolling Platformer/Shmup, my choice is definitely for the spaceship side and I have a big preference for the horizontal scrolling kind.

I'm truly stuck on this one. Games like Radiant Silvergun really stick with me but I will always return to something like Gunstar Heroes and claim it to be better. It's just too much of a back and forth problem for me to decide.

Battle.net - Dayman
Steam - RancidVomit86
PSN - RancidVomit86

As much as I loved Gunstar Super Heroes, the Contra series, and Metal Slug, the edge definitely goes to space shooters. They're far simplier to play and get better at. Easy to learn, but tough to master. Well, except a few like Radiant Silvergun and Ikaruga, those are way too complicated for me.

Shumups all day. Darn Cave for their region free games... every time I look I have to import something....Ikaruga is love, Ikaruga is life. My GC copy will likely be buried with me.

Shumps all the way! Prefer my spaceship shooters top-down, but you know?? I'll take a sidescroller every now and again, (speaking of Gradius I do need to pick that up on the 3DS eShop..) Run-N-Guns are great every once in a while, certainly not my favorite, but the few I've played (various MegaMan's, Super C on the Original Gray Brick, Metal Slug on Neo Geo Pocket and more) are all pretty darn fun.

The New 3DS XL is amazing, soon the NX will be upon us!
