Oh there's some Darius love coming. 4 player co-op Dariusburst EX+ and G Darius HD (G Darius I saw as a stand alone on PS store via PS5 - can't find info on it anywhere else)
Battle Garegga Rev. 2016, Esp.Ra.De (basically everything in the M2 ShotTriggers series), the remake of Assault Suit Leynos, Cotton Reboot, and soon Rolling Gunner Overpower.
Dariusburst Chronicle Saviours is currently on sale for £19.99 instead of £49.99, but that still a bit of a yikes price.
Cozmic Collection is still £34.99, which seems obscene for a handful of games from 1986!
I was going to list a load of shmups, but realised I don't have any!
I'd love an HD version of Gradius V, but the closest thing (apart from the Arcade Archives versions of the original games) is Super Hydorah:
I tell you what, I bloody
LOVEDSky Force Reloaded.
Tricky, but not impossible (I'm not a bullet hell fan), with multiple run throughs as you power up and try to get all the bonuses:
Also, don't forget the Capcom Arcade Stadium packs, with 1943 included free.
Shmups in bold, but you could class Commando and Mercs as shmups, I guess.

If you like Caladrius, Raiden V is from the same studio and is likely v cheap? Others coming to mind that I don't see mentioned: Ikaruga, R-Type Dimensions / Final 2, Jamestown, Shikhondo, Astebreed, Ghost Blade, Fast Striker.
Bigger question is probably now where to start. Personally I really rate that third Capcom Arcade Stadium pack, not just for the shooters (but also clearly for the shooters), and the M2 Ketsui port (will need a US/JP account for digital, or a JP disc).

Slightly O/T, but you went all in on these, didn't you, Fuse?
You pleased and given it a good hammering, or did you just dip into a couple of titles then forgot about it?

I did! I have dipped back in a few times but no denying the latter statement fits better here, but that's more of a reflection on me and my current play habits than it is of the collection. I've seen some technical nitpicking of both the Switch and PS4 versions, but for casual play and in terms of value I think that one pack in particular is fabulous.
