The Nintendo Switch Shmup/STG wiki is complete (for now)

Unless I have overlooked a title, I'm calling it: as of right now the Nintendo Switch Shmup/STG wiki is complete! I'm hoping more genre games are coming so I need to keep updating it of course

Absolutely no-one else helped me with it, so it's a solo project from me. You're welcome!
Seriously though, if you notice omissions or errors, feel free to add or correct. After all, it IS a wiki.

The goal is to list every shmup/stg/twin-stick/run'n'gun and related (sub-)genres game for Nintendo Switch.

Amiga is getting it's first Danmaku game: Hyperborea

Amiga DreamTeam is working on HyperBorea, a new Danmaku game for the Amiga.

Or as they put it:
World's first real Amiga 1200 Danmaku bullet hell classic vertically scrolling shmup Game! Requirements: stock A1200 or compatible! In this video: the bullet code has been further optimized - which allowed us to throw even more bullets around. And we added those typical small rotating oval Danmaku bullets too (those are aimed upwards in this video so that the two player-ships have a chance to survive ;) ). Up to around 250 bullets in this video... Okay, this will be it regarding the bullet-engine :) *This* is *real* bullet hell...
