I just got it but only played it for a couple of minutes. It seems like a fun Stardust-type shooter. A great deal at 9.99 plus you get Club Nintendo points!

Mushihimesama Futari 360. Its region free and its on Xbox(~$40-50) HIGHLY recommended. So much fun and the difficulty is surprisingly fair for a bullet hell shooter.

Gradius NES- Classic and loads of fun. The power up system is really fun to play with.

Star parodier (PC engine)- If you like parodius you will probably enjoy this. It gets pretty hard towards the end.

Castle of Shikigami 3(Wii)- Great if you like cheesy voice acting! I would play this more but I hate stage 3....Otherwise its a solid shmup.

Bangai-o(dreamcast)- I'm not sure if this counts but it is an awesome game and one of my all time favorites!

Yeah, Bangai-O is an awesome game. Bangai-O Spirits for DS isn't bad, either. I also liked Raystorm for PSX.

I looked this game up after reading this comment, and thought for that price it must be an e-shop game, but its not. I looked at the Gamestop website and it is listed at 19.99 for new, and 14.99 for used, was that a typo, or can I get this for 9.99 somewhere?

I don't know if it was the sale price, but that is how much Fry's was selling it for when I bought it. It was a total impulse buy.
