This looks great and apparently I never picked it up on Wii VC so I better remedy that soon on Wii U. I really see cute-em-ups as a good entry into shmups for me. I haven't played many but I'm always on the lookout for something reminiscent of the excellent mosquito levels in the original Rayman. I think those levels may qualify as cute-em-ups. The Epic Yarn level on the Halberd comes to mind, too. Time to do a search for cute-em-up on your archives! 🔍

If you have a Switch or PS4, too, it's worth diving into stuff like Bells & Whistles, which is Detana Twinbee's North American name. Arcade Archives is full of cute-em-ups and shoot-em-ups, and they'e $8 each.
