star soldier on the n64 is rare? you can get that game for 5-10 bucks. i guess that goes to show price does not equal rarity

That surprised me as well. Digital press gives it a "5" scarcity rating, however, which means that it is tied with Bomberman: The Second Attack and Worms: Armageddon in terms of scarcity. If this is the case, then - given the game's genre - it really is a deal. I know that I picked up my copy for $5 some time ago.

Is Star Soldier the only one released in the US? I think that it is...(I would be delighted to find out that there is something else, however.)

Space Invaders, Asteroids, Starfox, Rogue Squadron...all in the shmup family, among others.

im not sure i would categorize star fox and rogue squadron as a shmup, especially rogue squadron since you can fly wherever you please in a 3d environment, and starfox is an onrails shooter.

Good thought. I totally blanked on Space Invaders and Asteroids, and I wasn't even thinking of rail shooters like Starfox. I have all but one of those games (Asteroids) in my collection; so, you would think that I would know better.

Besides Star Soldier, however, are there any other "traditional" 2D, scrolling shmups for the N64?

Hence, "shmup family".

No, no other true 2D shmups.

JP has Bangai-o and DeZaemon, though neither of those are true 2D shooters either.

Should Kirby's Dreamland 3 be considered rare? It was at the very end of the SNES's lifespan, but on the other hand, it *is* Kirby.
