Here's the actual best 2D game of 5th gen.

Let's see the ShovelwareStation or the Sega Shiturn manage to run this game with all the bullets and other crazy shit going on.

How did Treasure do it, lads?

What are some other multidirectional, sidescolling (aka not top-down) shmups like pic related worth checking out?

Why are the bosses so shitty in this? I thought Treasure were known for, if nothing else, designing incredible boss fights. Especially the dude with the green orb head, like what the fuck? Oh, and is there any reason to use the girl at all? She's a bit on the weak side.

Anyway, Treasure thread.

Can't pick just one, but my top 3 probably are Sin and Punishment, Alien Soldier and Mischief Makers.

Most of their games, especially their /vr/ games, are all pure gems, even the McD game, and the Yuu Yuu Hakusho game is incredible, the multiplayer is insane.

Also, the original N64 version of Bangai-O is also worth playing even if you played the DC one. I find the controls better on the N64 and it's more challenging due to the combo-based system.

I usually play using the d-pad to move and the c-buttons to shoot in all directions, but I'm also trying to get good using the left-side control scheme (move with d-pad, and shoot/aim with the 3D stick, and use Z to blast off the missiles).
Shooting with the 3D stick gives it a very arcadey feel and although the c-buttons work well as a sort of d-pad, it's a lot quicker to aim and shoot with the stick, however it's also harder, mainly because I'm not used to holding the control on the left side, even though I'm left handed.
Anyone experimented playing it this way?
I'm also trying to master S&P using the left-side scheme.
