I own it and its a good game, a little on the short side but its different and has a arcade style of gameplay and feel. If you lile Capcom characters and see it cheap I highly recommend it!

What would be the "Actual Market Value" of the game! Not the jacked up eBay prices, it ranges from $55-$70 on there.

I saw a copy at a local play and trade for $15. The front cover has water damage, it's the only thing that stopped me from picking it up.

Maybe I should just get it anyways.

On amazon it's $30.

It's a pretty fun shooter. I'm partial to it because you can play as Megaman

A decently fun Psikyo shoot 'em up with a ton of Capcom love. I guess that about covers it.

Not the Dreamcast's killer ap, but still a good part of any DC collection.

If I remember it has like ten difficulty modes so maybe you'll beat it in like thirty minutes on "baby mode" but it will take longer for harder difficulties. There are also lots of characters to try out. If you have two players this game is pretty dang fun and hilarious.

I bought mine on ebay for $20.00 but that was like 5 years ago. I'm not sure of todays prices.

HellHammer's Opinions On "Cannon Spike"


1. You can be Mega Man
2. Hold the shoot button for auto fire shots
3. 2 player co-op
4. YOU CAN BE MEGA MAN


In all reality, Cannon Spike plays more like an arcade game than anything else, so it's a bit short, but makes up for it with strong replayability. I highly recommend it, if you can find it at a reasonable price, that is.

I thought it was okay as an arcade game. Definitely seemed to me they didn't put much effort into it. Stages were short and kind of choppy feel. Gameplay was ok but they could have easily improved it. Well I was playing dreamcast with 4 friends and tried it once with them and none of them liked it... but I thought it's ok. It just seemed like a very half-assed effort to me.
