Super Turrican 2 USA release info PLEASE!

[loganm187]

I have had a copy of Super Turrican 2 for SNES for years, but remember when I found it at a pawn shop for 5 bucks the first thing that popped into my head was a Gamepro article I read many years ago and I said to myself "Holy shit I hit a gold mine! This game was never released in the states and here is a US copy!"

GAME PRO ARTICLE FROM MAY 1998 "Vapor trails"

Super Turrican 2 (By Ocean for the SNES � Not released late Summer/early Fall '95)
The Hype: The sequel to the cult-hit shooter, Super Turrican 2 "pushes the envelope with intense graphics, sounds, and action that don't let up for a moment," according to Major Mike (see ProReview, August '95).

What Happened: While Super Turrican 2 was complete for our review, and actually released in, of all places, Colombia, South America, U.S. shooter fans never saw this one hit the shelves. The most popular theory is that Ocean didn't feel the original game was a big enough hit to justify bringing its sequel stateside.

you can find copies of this game online, but usually just one or two at a time and they are by no means cheap at all, but how RARE is it? I can't any info about this coming to the US but there are a few floating about. Could it possibly be the rarest us release SNES title but there is just no demand for the damn thing? Any info would be great!

I have a loose copy. It did come out here in the US so Game Pro is just wrong. Nintendo age rates it a 7, so pretty uncommon.

What's the scale here? 10 being omega rare I guess?

I own a cart myself and don't think I dished out much at all for it online, but I just double checked on amazon and it's going for nearly $80, lol. Guess I got a copy in the right time...

I think a real lucky buy for me was the Ninja Gaiden Trilogy. I definitely only paid a few bucks for it a few years ago. Looks like it's going for $60. It was a weird buy for me too because I didn't even know it existed when I picked it up, so I figured it was uncommon or something. Glad I got it, haha.

gamefaqs says nov 95.

[Ack]

I've also got a copy of it...I think I paid $5. It had a sticker on it from a rental place, but beyond that it's in pretty good condition.
