Discussion

throwaway35464: Why is Cave Story on here? It's a metroidvania. Did someone see "Cave" and assume it was a CAVE game?

spicy_nugget_8165: Radiant Silvergun and Ikaruga both in S is correct. Treasure knocked it out of the park twice.

throwaway62432: Rez isn't really a shmup, it's a rhythm rail shooter that makes you feel like you're in a club in 2001

quiet_goblin_7399: Where's DoDonPachi?
