On another note, why do I see a lot of run-and-gun games (e.g. \'\'VideoGame/{{Contra}}\'\', \'\'VideoGame/GunstarHeroes\'\', \'\'VideoGame/MetalSlug\'\') classified as shmups? Yes the emphasis is on shooting and you have more firepower in those sort of games, but the core gameplay is still that of a platform game--you\'re not freely moving around the screen. If platform games where you have a gun constitute shmups, then I suppose like games like the 2D \'\'VideoGame/{{Metroid}}\'\' games count as shmups too.
