Heres another title that is somewhat unknown
Darius Dokomade Tatakaemasuka for Sharp X68000
Worth mentioning because as far as I know, it features at least 1 all new boss.
EDIT: also let me put some criticism about that article about Darius, mostly some stuff regarding the first two games.
I know the stages of Darius 1 were ass, but at least the terrain was used quite well by the enemies, specially those pods that launch nasty 90° missiles and such.
Also I really dont think Darius 2 is actually easier in any form compared to the first game.
The power-up system is even more punishing, since you revert to the very first weapon level when you die as opposed as opposed to starting with the weakest shot/laser/wave. Not to mention the powerup follow a pattern (missile, bomb, arm, a new kind of straight lasers, a score bonus and 1-up), so you cant get more than I powerup of the same kind twice in a row.
Finally, everything is pretty much the same size as in the first game (enemies, bullets) but this time the silver hawk is twice as big and the game moves faster.
I think you should consider this and give the 2 first games a try again.
Call me crazy but I actually enjoy the old Darius games (cept darius+ and darius twin), they are not the best thing in history but aslo not the worst, they are average (maybe good in the time they were released) and can get quite funny once you get the hang of them.

Sagaia, also known as Darius 2 in Japan, has finally been dumped and it's playable on the new MAME. I just tried it and it's very different. All the levels are rearranged, it only has half of the stages found in Darius 2 (but then again, a lof of Darius 2 stages were repeated) and I even saw some Engrishy pilot messages being displayed on the bottom on the screen during the first stage. I don't remember if Darius 2 had that too.

If it's "I always wanted a thing called tuna sashimi!", that was always there - and unless the music is changed from the usual Olga Breeze, it should be fully voice-acted, too.

Honestly didn't even know there was a difference. Good to know, I guess. Don't know when/if this'll ever get updated. I know someone expressed interesting in fixing this up a bit - someone who likes this series more than myself, anyway.

Well, if it ever gets updated, I posted a few years ago several pics of Darius parodies found on those interactive MSX magazines.

I'd love to collaborate to the site with a complete overhaul of the Darius and Compile Shooters article, but even though I absolutely adore both franchises (and shmups in general, lol), I think that covering Darius Burst in particular would be difficult, due to the game's multiple versions - one of which is arcade-only, IIRC :/
Is anyone willing to help me out here?

Yup, it's coming for PS4/Vita and PC, apparently. See the video Drpepperfan embedded above your post.

Dariusburst CS hit Steam today (pretty damn pricey though for some reason though). Its a shade too easy by Darius standards but the game is pretty damn fun to play and runs great in full 1080.

Unless you buy the Vita version. A large, LARGE number of those stage (variant)s are not accesible in the Vita version unless you also have the PS4 version to run a cross-save through.
