I can understand there being somewhat limited "modern" shmups in terms of using 3d hardware and having high framerates and stuff like that, but the shmup library is also freaking huge, as the genre's been around for a long time and has had a lot of entries. Like, I cannot imagine playing through all of the decent-and-above games out there. Not to mention that some of them are damned hard and would take a lot of work to really master.

    Yeah, but a lot are missing on Steam… hell, what I would consider to be the best two of all-time, Ketsui and DDP DaiOuJou, aren't on there. I would love to have ESP Ra.De. and Guwange on there as well.

    Even a lot of the Touhou titles are missing… it's 2025, and I don't think there is one legitimate place to legally acquire Imperishable Night digitally on PC (Or probably anywhere)

    Yes, abandonware copies and ROMs exist, but they'll never compare to something as nice as the Mushihimesama Steam port, for example.

    I'd also love more new exciting releases along the lines of Crimzon Clover and Hellsinker. Yeah, we have others like Graze Counter, Gunvein, and Sophstar, but the more the merrier because not everything hits the same for everyone.
