Sorry about that, i'm at work and tried to post a comment as fast as i could before i get busy again. i managed to get a copy for $30, i do think $100 is a little exessive though.

"Shmup" is far more elegant!

But yes, I can never get used to soft keyboards (phones/slates) because I type (and enjoy typing) so quickly that even multi-touch devices garble and lag after a few minutes. And though I enjoy SWIPE, I dislike having to double check each sentence I write because I am so used to touch typing at close to 100 WPM. (Although I make plenty of mistakes at that speed, you can still discern what I was trying to say instead of something about "melting polar bears" when I want to introduce you to "Mr. Pittman.")

And so this post has some relevance: Advanced Dungeons & Dragons -- it's like Guardian Heroes... or more specifically King of Dragons (another Capcom RPG/beat'em up) and Japanese exclusive.

i have played bulk slash but its a bit confusing without understanding japanese, i wish i knew what was going on in the story so most of the time i just make something hilarious up. also why is street fighter alpha 3 on the saturn so damn expensive? $100+? why when its so easily obtained for the dreamcast and ps2. i guess it just must of been one of the last games made for it but regardless i can think of alot of better games for the system worth $100.

Story mode? Is there a mission farther down that's something other than "blow everything up"?

Wait. What?

I think that might be a copy bundled with RAM because what I have, is worth considerably less. (Unless you want to buy it from me for $99.)

Bulk slash looks awesome from the videos I've seen of it. I do plan on getting a Saturn(maybe this summer) and thats one of the games i wanna import for it. I am taking japanese classes so I figure it would be good practice for me :D .

Rockman 8 is a good one to import if you like the ps1 game. You will get better voice acting and a few extras not present in the ps1 version. Dezaemon 2 looks pretty cool but you will need an extra memory card for it, from what I've read.

Assault Suit Leynos 2
Elevator Action Returns
Silhouette Mirage


Crazy about SFA3 being expensive on the Saturn now. It was $20 for years. I guess people finally realized its worth and that it was the best version of the game. Capcom almost didn't release SFA3 on the Saturn. When they did, it just sat on store shelves. The Dreamcast and Playstation versions had already been out for awhile, if I remember correctly.
