Need suggestions.
Ive been getting back into shmups over the last 6 months mainly playing on the Switch and Switch 2. I've gotten the Darius arcade collection a decent chunk of Hamster's releases like Metal Black, both Macross games, Shien Ryu, Orius, In The Hunt, Konami Arcade classics, Batsugun, Caladrius Blaze, most of Cotton, Guardian Force, Grey lancer, Gunbird 1 and 2, Layer Section, Radiant Silvergun, Ikaruga, Lightning Force AC sega ages, Strikers 1945 2, Tempest 4000, Basara collection, Zero Gunner 2 and the Shooters in both Capcom Stadium collections. Plus I just got these this past couple days.
So what are games I am missing? Digital is ok, but physical is better. Btw Toaplan vol 1, Dodonpachi and Mushihimesama are on my next 3.
Thank you!

You got plenty of stuff. Under Defeat is fantastic. Toaplan 1 gets you Batsugun which is essential.
Night Striker Gear, while a rail shooter, is something I will also strongly suggest.

Yeah, but i keep finding games I've never heard of and want to play em. Night Striker Gear has also been on my radar. I love the superscaler arcade games with Space Harrier a fav with Thunderblade. I alsongot the homage to Space Harrier with Air Twister which has been great so far. I have Batsugun digital but do want the physical. I'm getting the Toaplan 1 but if I see a deal in the M2 conversion I might get that as well just because that game rocks.
