Gaming Any other games like Nanostray?

[noctambulant]

Hey just wondering if anyone knows of any other games like Nanostray?

 

[Triforce]

I wish there was, shmup's are my fav genre :'(

The only ony other shooters on ds that i know of are homebrew games.

Daemon

Shoot & Score

R-type clone

Some of these are old now so if you have trouble finding them you can just grab them all from my site.
In the downloads section, under Nintendo DS Software / Homebrew Games.

Thanks for that I'll give those ones a go.

I have only tried it a couple of times quickly but I found it to be ROCK hard. Unbelievably hard.

Thought I was a hardcore gamer, obviously not!

Not for the DS...but rather 2 shmups for the GBA

Link for SHMUP 1

Link for SHMUP 2

I think the co. also made some GBA games (I might be wrong since I mix up the too many games I play)..
you may want to check out Iridion II in particular as that has a similar style & viewpoint.

Yes yes. Raptor kicks arse, but it hasn't been ported to any handhelds yet.

(loved playing with that death laser

)

Nanostray is pretty cool, reminds me of axelay on the SNES. Sideway shmup king R-Type is my all time favourite.

I think he's not looking for games that are DS exclusive. If you want some sweet shoot 'm ups, try MAME ;]. MAME has awesome shmups

Maybe this great site will add some help in what you're looking for.

I thought this guy was looking for ds specific shooters ?
If you want to take a look at other consoles then pce, sega saturn, dc and ps2 have the best shumps out there.
I recommend Magical Chase and Coryoon on the pce. Radiant Silvergun, Layer Section and Soukyugurentai for the Saturn.
Ikaruga and Border Down on dc. Dodonpachi Dai-Ou-Jou, ESPgaluda, Mushihimesama, Ibara and Gradius V for the ps2.

Now if only Cave would port Ketsui to ps2 i'd be happy as larry. But from what i was reading at the shmups forums it seems very unlikely

I think you meant Area 88/UN Squadron. That could be released on GBA, easily. Gradius Galaxies is on GBA, so you can play it on your DS

I bet some of Kenta Cho's games could run on the DS.

I'd love to play a danmaku where the ship is controlled with the stylus and the player uses the shoulder triggers or something to shoot. I think I'll do that once I decide on a flashcart.

Yeah I want more games like nanostray. I'm eagerly awaiting Raid over the River.
