Saturn is a beast when it come's to shooters, battle garegga, Soukyugurentai (think it's spelt like that) and radiant silvergun are 3 of my all time favourite shmups, you'd need a lottery win to be able to buy them though, i got 2 saturn's both chipped and it's the only way i can play these games...

I play it regularly on my psp, enjoy it a lot, i would go along with you on IV it's probably the best, the one i dislike the most is thunder spirits on the snes, not a good game...

Axelay is really good but way too easy benimaru, other's i've played on snes... E.D.F, super aleste, parodius, pop n twinbee, r-type, also darius, but it's a poor version.
And another monstrosity of a shmup called phalanx, it had probably the worst box art ever for a shmup, with an old boy playing a banjo, check this out

E.D.F is a tough game after 20 years i still can't get past the last boss, and make sure you play the jap version it's the easiest, strangely, i got the cart but always end up playing it on my chipped xbox...

I started getting into shooters on PS2 with Ibara, so PlayStation platforms over everything. Haven't played enough on arcades to warrant a switch. Last gen the Xbox was king, but hoping things change.

I'm assuming you mean the 360 red shoe paul, being a limey we got very few of the shmups released over here deathsmiles is the only one i've got, there were a handfull of others that were released multi region but i can't remember they're names off the top of my head.
Missed out on a whole bunch of shmups on the 360, i should have had my 360 sorted, if you know what i mean...

Puhh, that's a tuffy.
All jp consoles have great shmups. The reason I own them all. In quantity and quality PC-Engine wins easily I think.

Genesis/Megadrive, there's just too many to name and I've got every single one CIB except Battlemania II.

I find that awesome too, the fan made games etc. But it's official lifespan is still shorter than AES'! I haven't picked up any of those newer shmups. My DC collection needs some serious work.

Saturn is prolly the best console for shooters. Mad props to Dreamcast too. Ikaruga, Zero Gunner, Sturmwind and Chaos Blade are getting heavy rotation at my house.
