My wife bought me an icade for my birthday. So now what games should I pick up. I just bought the raiden collection for $5.

I know there are a few of you with these on the boards, so let me know your experiences.

not sure if they're compatible(as i do not have an icade), but you can get some good cave shooters on ios. particular the bug princess, dodonpachi & espgaluda series.

If you buy a game for the ipad on the App Store, does it automatically work on both the ipad and iphone? Or do you have to purchase two versions?

Have fun !

Thanks for the list! Turned out to be pretty helpful. I'm really digging a bunch of the games you recomended. Especially Abyss Attack, Danmaku Unlimited 1&2, Gridrunner, and Plasma Sky. I'm going to concentrate on Vertical games mostly for now since my case sucks and to get my ipad out would probably break it. So when I get a new case, I'll get more horizontal shooters and beatem ups....Well I did buy R-type II, but it was only two bucks. I would've got Blazing Star too, but I already own it on MVS and my phone.


On a sidenote: WHY THE HELL WON'T CAVE MAKE THEIR GAMES SUPPORT ICADE??!!! I'd buy at least two of their games (probably more) if they added Icade support. I really hope they change this. Sure playing a shooter while dragging your finger isn't the worst thing ever, but it's much better to have the option for a controller. Especially with Icade and other bluetooth controllers getting more popular.
