I'll be looking forward to this. 
If you haven't played it already, I would also highly reccommend Einhander for a shooter. It isn't as difficult as some of the others like Ikaruga but it does get hard in some spots and has an incredible upbeat techno soundtrack, probably one of the best scores ever.

I play games entirely to relax and not to be challenged, so I don't really play shooters. It's kind of a shame, since I like the idea--they're just all too damn hard.

R-Type Final.
Has anyone seen this game in the stores yet? I think the relase date was supposed to be 2/3/04, but I can't find it. I'm actually looking forward to this one.
The last time I played R-type was on a TurboGrafx-16. I loved it. From the reviews I've read, it doesn't sound like this one will disappoint.
