Keep an eye on Death Smiles then, its a horizontal shmup.

And dont forget Shoot1UP is on XBLIG for $1, although that one is vertical. But hey, its $1!!!!!!

cool, Guwange hitting XBLA

Yup, and Deathsmiles II X for JPN disc release...maybe they will make that one region-free too (although current indications is that it won't be).

Some interesting news from Shooting Festa 2010:

Well, it's mostly vertical, with horizontal and diagonal (!!) sections if you take the alternate paths.

Not sure how that is going to work out, but you can be sure i'll be checking it out!

I can barely type a text message on the iphone... how the hell am I supposed to survive bullet hell?

Space Invaders Infinity G and Space Miner are fun, but I agree that the precise controls needed for bullet hell have not been possible thus far on the current iphones. Still, unless the price was ridiculous, I can see myself getting it just for the sake of getting it.

I tried to play gee gee gee gee baby baby baby on infinity gene's song mode...

dang that stage is impossible...

Has anybodys copy of EspGaluda II arrived from PlayAsia yet? The wait for that and my LP of the Beatles White Album is killing me.

Give You Will Die a try. Its a $1 Xbox LIVE Indie game and has a demo.

I second the recommendation for You Will Die. Extremely difficult , though.
It saves highscores via XBL but at the end of the game, it'll also give you a code so you can submit your score to an online scoreboard.
I think its a great deal for $1 but I'm biased since I wrote it.

I'm not a fan of Space Invaders Infinity Gene so much, but I really enjoyed Sky Force Reloaded (iPhone/iPod touch). The touch controls work well and it's a pretty good shooter. Sky Force (not Reloaded) isn't quite as good, mainly because of an annoying level where you can't shoot - I hate that level. In any case, neither is quite a bullet hell, I don't think. My guess is they are going to tame Espgaluda II down substantially in order to make it playable on the iPhone, which could work out fine. Who wants a full on version of Espgaluda II that is pretty, but completely unplayable? Better to have fewer bullets and actually be able to have fun with the game.

So do we have a release date on Death Smiles or is it still TBA?

The wait is killin me.

No official release date for US Deathsmiles yet. Tentatively looking at a July release, but there is currently a lack of news and general lack of preorder info.

Wow, July...even if thats true thats a long ways away.

I heard Cho Aniki is out on PSP now... download only from PSN for I believe to be $20...

I will check later today and pick it up and let yallz kno how it is!!!

I never played Cho Aniki before... also I never played a Darius game before either >_<

get the out of here.

Darius is one of my favorite shmup series. Darius (worth the purchase on the VC), Darius Gaiden, Darius Twin, G-Darius and Metal Black (not a official Darius game but borrows quite heavily from the series) were my favorites

Soldner-X on ps3 in 1080p is awsomness
