What's Up With Bullet Hell?
Woodshop Flunky:
Wow! Under Defeat looks really nice! Makes me wish I had one! :)
HaRuMaN:
Radirgy for DC is fun, too.

Just a heads up for US folk with 360's: http://www.maxim.com/gaming/akai-katana
Of course also available for PAL and NTSC-J. :)

Heh, I read the title of this post and thought there was an actual game called "Bullet Hell"
One that I see missing from this thread is Dangun Feveron. Love that game.

I played video games as a kid in the 80's and early 90's and spend years with old computers in my Mame cab.
I too played Raiden a bunch with my kids and was bitten by the Bullet Hell bug after playing Cave titles in CoinOps on the Xbox. I ended up changing my cabinet around to be better suited for Bullet Hell shmups.
* I started by rotating my monitor to to a tate/vertical position.
* I needed more horsepower to play newer games so I tried a ballsy PC but ended up moving to a region free (jtag) x360. There are a ton of great ports with cool arrange modes available. They even support tate monitors
* I swaped my Happ joysticks for Sanwa JLW based on a recommendation by opt2not for a decent shmup joystick with a classic feel. Everyone including my wife loves the balltop look and gameplay- thanks opt2notI started messing around with lighter activation pressure switches (than Cherry) for my Happ/IL buttons. I am guessing that I'm going to have some sort of Japanese buttons in there at some point. I'm also keeping my eyes open for a good deal on a local (Denver) Candy Cab with 29" monitor, the main type of cab the newer Cave titles are played in, but I'm not holding my breath.
I now have a second cabinet that has a horizontal 27" CRT in it and I'm thinking the next thing I'm going to explore is StreetFighter II, III, and IV.
