Are there any good shmups on the DS?

Are there any good shmups on the DS, import or otherwise? I prefer a traditional vertical shooter like Raiden, Ikaruga or Super Star Soldier. I'm not a big fan of Nanostray and Geometry Wars so they're out. Danny Phantom is okay, but I'm not a fan of touch screen controls for shmups. Any recommendations? I tried google, but it didn't help much.

How about Bleach for the DS. It was pretty fun.

Honestly I'm trying to figure out if you're trying to be funny or not. What does Bleach and a Shmup have to do with eachother?

n00b question but, what's a schmup?m1k3m

It's short for 'shoot 'em up' and usually involves flying a lone ship against hundreds of enemies, dodging thousands of bullets. The VC has been getting a lot of decent ones, but I'm looking for something portable.

Here's a youtube video of one in action. Some are in 2D, others are in 3D, I don't really care as long as the gameplay's solid.

Ketsui Death Label is the only one I know about. I'm looking for more as well...

Big Bang Mini is like that

I just relized someone bumped this thread up

While it does not fit the description of what you are looking for, Bangai-O Spirits is a spastic shmup that should be experienced by all shmup fans. The controls are wicked tight. Here is a link to some gameplay footage (sorry its in Japanese, the game was released here in English though):
