Is it really a bad thing that one console has the greatest shooters?

Better than having to pay SNES/Gen prices for them all.

Well, I think its both good and bad. I don't know how you can really answer the question:

"wat do u think bout tg-16 havin all the good shumps"

But, its good that the shooters are (mostly) cheap but bad that the bar is pretty concrete, ie; The variation between them isn't as much as I'd like due to the hardware restrictions compared to how an SNES shooter would compare on the hardware side of things.

+1 to TG-CD for carrying great music that the SNES could never handle. Music is like a third of what makes a SHMUP great.
