Check out this 3D model of the Ikaruga fighter that someone's working on. The link goes to the unskinned model, but you can see parts of the ship coming together in the more recent post.
Awesome.

Nice.
With a barrage of shmup releases on the Wii's Virtual Console and the recent release of Nanostray 2 for the DS, it seems that the shmup is still alive and well.
Now someone needs to re-release Radiant Silvergun on a system other than the Saturn.
EDIT: The 1600x1200 render is now my new background.
EDIT: Just for the record, Ikaruga kicked my butt. It's one of the most difficult--but most gorgeous--shmups ever.

Ikaruga's now available on Xbox Live Arcade, as of Apr. 9.
Now will someone please give us a port of Radiant Silvergun? A re-release of RS on Xbox Live might sell a few systems, regardless of the system's atrocious hardware failure rate.

BTW Tek, this shooter for XBLA and PSN sounds kind of interesting. Also I read somewhere that Treasure was developing something for the XBox. They wouldn't say what though (and I can't find the link anymore either).
For indie shooter action, I've been playing Return to Sector 9. Ridiculous amount of gameplay for something that's free: 9 unlockable gametypes (many of them similar but still a startling amount of variation) and 15 unlockable ships with multiple paint jobs. (Ships all behave the same but have different special weapons.) Also a lot easier to beat than the original Sector 9 and has bosses too.
