What about the glorious release date Neo Geo title NAM 1975?
more of a run 'n' gun (like the metal slug games) than a shooter. different category.

Gonna say Fast Striker. Hands down best on the neo.
If you want traditional, official releases only, I'll go with Blazing Star.

That's a tough question.
I'd say Twinkle Star Sprites is the best shooter hands down just for the 2P versus. Really though I think of it as being in a genre by itself.
Other than that, I know people are going to say Pulstar/Blazing Star. I love them too, but honestly I don't find myself going back to them as much as other shmups.
I guess my favorites in terms of what I actually play the most would be Viewpoint, Strikers 1945 Plus, and Fast Striker (if you're counting unofficial releases).

Pulstar for me.
The sound track is the best on the Neo, IMO--- one of the only games I actually play on the Uni-Bios jukebox. The graphics are at least as good as Blazing Star. Has a great intro AND a proper animated ending. Also... I much prefer all the biological enemies in Pulstar to all the boring robots and ships in Blazing Star. The game (Pulstar) just seems more cohesive and aesthetically pleasing to me.

Ironclad is easily the best I have played on the Neo Geo CD, awesome music, good looking backgrounds, branching levels, and a nice balanced difficulty.

Between Last Resort and Blazing Star you have the best the Neo can ofer on horis.
Strikers 1945+ is still the better vert shmup the Neo has to offer, it doesnt necessarily say much about the genre on the Neo but other than that you got Aero Fighters 2.
The thread's title says shooter so in that case here is the shooters on the Neo that I frequent the most other than the ones I already mentioned. I do own some other shooters but truth be told I just don't play them as much as these.
Metal Slug 3
Metal Slug X
Metal Slug 1
Shock Troopers
Nam '75
Twinkle Star Sprites
Viewpoint
Zed Blade
Pulstar
Prehistoric Isle 2 (I almost forgot, good game!)
Honorary mentiopn to Andro Dunos and ASOII, everytime I play either is quite an experience, however AD is too damn hard and ASOII's system is a bit of a let down for what could have been an amazing game, I really love the bosses on that one.
