Bonk's Adventure for Gamecube!
I got an import copy of this today at my local import shop. Then I bought a freeloader at my store for $6. The game is awesome, a full on remake of the original Bonk's Adventure. Not sure if this would be released domestically, but it was only $40 and I don't have to track down a Turbo Grafix 16.

I'm digging the game, from what I can remember they have changed stuff. On the TG16, I beat the first one in an hour or two, and with no trouble. This time the second boss kicked the crap out of me this time. I wish I could find the differences but my basis of comparison is from 15 years ago.

They also redid Adventure Island the same way, if anyone remembers that game. I've been interested in picking up both of them, but haven't yet. I may have to...

At Playasia.com you can get both of them as a "combo" for $67 + shipping...I think shipping is a couple bucks to the US.
Good company also, ordered many things without a problem.

Star Soldier, it's a verticle scrolling shooter. If you like Ikaruga you'll like this too.

IMO yes it is. The replay value in Star Soldier is in the 5 minute mode. It's a time attack for best score, it can create great and historic rivalries between friends.
Shooters don't always have the best replay value and are not for everyone. If you like shooters, I think you'll like this.
