I'm not a super "hardcore" 2D shooter guy, but I do enjoy the genre a lot, and I feel like I'm halfway decent at it. During this gen I've managed to add a handful of 2D shooters to my library, all of which I enjoyed... Gradius V, Gradius Collection, Ikaruga, Mobile Light Force 2 and Castle Shikigami, etc.
I dug out Gradius V last night because it was the only of the above games that I hadn't beaten, and was reminded of how awesome it was.
In any case, I want some GAF help I want more 2D shooters, but none of my home consoles are modded, so I'm limited to titles that were released stateside.
Applicable systems:
Dreamcast
GameCube
PS2
Xbox
PSP
Edit: PS1, also.
Please don't suggest just any old crap just because its a 2D shooter... I wanna avoid the really bad ones. I know more hardcore followers of the genre take a pretty "meh" stance towards Shikigami, but I liked it quite a bit, though.
Thanks in advance for the advice
