The 2-D shooter thread

I love 2-D shooters like Axelay, Gradius, Lifeforce, Star Solider, R-type, the list goes on. My point is that 2-D shooters are awesome, hard but awesome. So awesome in fact that they deserve their own thread so we can talk about all the great shooters there are. Also feel free to talk about the not so good ones *cough*Zero-wing*cough* . All hail the power-up!

Everyday Shooter is simply a brilliant game.

I just got Super R-Type on my VC and I'm loving it. I'm thinking about getting R-Type 3 is it worth my wii points?
