There's a windows version of the Cho Ren Sha 68k (超連射68k) and it was updated a few days ago. The previous update was 8 years ago from what I can gather.
VG Estoterica made a video about it recently.

Also another shikhondo game too, I enjoyed the first one. Love youkai themed stuff. Weird that there’s a Japanese switch physical this time as the first game only got an Asian physical release, in japan it was a digital only release.

bullet hell is part of it. there is shmups that focus on obstacle such as gradius and R-type. then faster bullet and encounter design such as Raiden 1 - 5 or Raystorm or 1999 strikers. annd then Bullet hell, which is explain themselves.

What are "obstacle" shooters called? Environment shmups?

What are the best multiplayer shmups for playing simultaneously?

If you like bullet hell, pretty much all of the Cave shooters have 2P. I’m personally a huge fan of Espgaluda II.

Can this be emulated?

Yeah, there are a lot on 360, which you can emulate with Xenia. A few of them are also available on Steam.

Check out Espgaluda II, DoDonPachi Resurrection, DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou, and DeathSmiles. They all should be easy to emulate with Xenia, though I’ve never personally done it.

You'd think shmups would have a revival like fighting games.. Considering in the arcade times, those that played fighting games would play shmups as pallet cleansers. Btw, Ubusana has been in development for 10 years now. Japan's duke nukem
