  I don't know if I can be with you with the best shooters only in the arcade. There's some difference in the way both arcade and console shooters were made and both have their own flavor and design philosophy. I personally don't limit myself, I enjoy them all.

  Good stuff! Always good to connect with others into the shmup genre online. I think you're right that there's a lot of crossover appeal between shmup fans and stuff like mecha. I'm Gen-X, and growing up watching Transformers, these games generally always appealed to me. The fact that there's such a preponderance of mecha-themed shooters from Japan would seem to indicate that as well.

  A damn good video of shmups, anime, and 80s pop culture indeed.  That and I'm a huge ass fan of shmups and mecha anime too, especially the shmups where you're flying Gundam style mecha like say MUSHA.

  I love your video!! Great shmup content! R-type will always be my favorite shmup! I still remember playing it in the 80s for the first time in the arcade! Hooked ever since! Keep up the fantastic work here!
