R-Type is the king of shmups in my book.

I wish they would come out with a new one. I know they put "final" in the title of that other one but, I believe they immediately followed that up with a crappy strategy R-Type thing on PSP.
So they just have to switch crappy to awesome, strategy to shmup and PSP to anything else and we're in business!!
