Typing of the Dead kinda is. So is Fatal Fury. And the Street Fighter might be rare as well. However, I'm not positive on any of them.

Every USA release is easily obtainable now and really (honestly) can't be considered rare.

The only one that is truly hard to find is the Sonic Adventure Limited Edition that was only available as a rental at Hollywood Video.

Yeah, the Marvel VS Capcom games are really hard to find. As for Powerstone, though, a store by me is selling tons of them for $10 a piece. It even has 2 import versions of the game for the same price. Would it be worth it to get a copy, and which would be more rare, the US one or the Japanese one?

Dreamcast games that are harder to find in the US are:

Record of Lodoss War
Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike
Power Stone 2
Marvel vs. Capcom
Marvel vs. Capcom 2
The SNK releases (Fatal Fury, King of Fighters DM 99, KoF Evolution, Last Blade)
Sword of the Berserk: Guts Rage
Soldier of Fortune
Mobile Suit Gundam 0079 Rise from the Ashes
Mars Matrix
Bangai-O

Ofcourse, it really depends upon where you go. I have been to some EB stores that no longer carry Dreamcast games such as one that I visited while I was in Iowa about 2 weeks ago, and I have been to some that have a lot.

w00t i have soldier of fortune, mobile suit gundam, and MvC2

Once you get the rare US games, the next step is picking up the harder to find/ sought after Dreamcast import games. Some games are easier to pick up, ex: Headhunter, some vary, ex: Rez, Shenmue 2, Super Street Fighter IIX FMS, while others are harder, ex: Fushigi Dungeon - Furai no Shiren Gaiden: Onnakenshi Asuka Kenzan, Langrisser Millenium, Advanced Daisenryaku 1&2(Iron Storm), Samba de Amigo 2000, etc.

I just got back from EB and they had bangai-O but i didnt know if it sucked or not so i didnt pick it up, is it any good? Im not gonna buy a "rare" game if it sux.

If you like arcade shooters, it is a good game to get. It really isn't in the same fold as Giga Wing or Ikaruga, but it is a lot of fun. I picked mine up from EB after not seeing it for a loooong time. You probably saw it for something like $9. You should pick it up if you are into good arcade-style action with a bit of anime feel.

I like arcade shooters such as r-type and grandia, ive yet to play giga wing or ikaruga.

I want mobil suit gundam, I have 2 copies of mvc 2

Lunchbox · Post by **Lunchbox** » Mon Nov 03, 2003 11:17 pm

gundam is ok, but it's very short. you can beat in about a weekend or less on your first try. the voice acting is good though, and the graphics are good too

Record of Lodoss War and Berserk are impossible to find. I've looked everywhere locally for them. Nobody has them.
