Noooo! Henry Hatsworth isn't being released in Australia! Going to have to look into importing it... That's really ridiculous since it's one of the only decent releases for the DS in recent months.
My pet hate is game shops that open games and put the empty cases on the shelves... I understand why they do it to deter theft, but once it's not sealed any more, the game isn't new to me anymore. Apart from scratched discs and dog eared manuals, the shop monkeys usually only make sure the cartridge/disc and manual are there. It could be missing leaflets, extra DL content codes, etc. They even do this to games that say the game is invalid for sale if seal is broken! I always ask for sealed stock, but it is harder to find a game sealed than not these days. AAAAGH!
Mmm, they're OK I guess. Biggest disappointment is that they don't have many G&W titles in them. First one has Oil Panic, Green House and Donkey Kong, 2nd one only has Parachute and Octopus. They're pretty close to the original G&W but there are some subtle gameplay/timing differences. They have more collector value than gameplay value.
They could easily do one cartridge that has dozens of G&W in them.

I could ship you the game if you wanted?? I gotta see if my GS has another, but I would be willing, you can check my feedback, I asked my mom shipping is like 10$ for that package, would take a week to a week and a half, or you can go express which should be around 3-5 days for like 25$ lol, let me know, I can find out if its in stock tomorrow

I'm adding this up here to keep on topic.
I don't know if I'm alone in this, but I enjoy the games Peggle and Bookworm... Peggle is relatively short, but fun while it lasts. and Bookworm has almost infinite replayability.
You can buy them both pretty cheap, as well.
What's worse is when you're the guy behind the counter is forced to open the games... I was one of the few who made sure to pull out all the content before placing the game out.
What's REALLY bad, is when some d-bag comes in and tries to argue how it's illegal, and basically tells us we have to pull the game... I'm not the one who made our policies, and Mr. Self righteous doesen't help any...
Last, but not least... is when I've had a few PC games sold and returned because the key was missing/already used... and what makes it even worse, is when I have the EXACT SAME GAME returned a second time, because even though I made sure it was marked defective, someone put it back out for sale...
I buy games that are sealed... I keep them sealed until I play them... you never know what's going to be super rare, and will be worth 10x more without a cracked seal...
sorry for the rant... it's a hot subject for me...

Nope, haven't played it but figured I'd pick it up while it was cheap. I had a few other things I needed to get, so this helped push the order over the edge for free shipping.

are there any side scrolling shooters for this, like r type or gradius?? I want one.
Here's a few, though not all of them are quite what you're looking for...
Nanostray, Ketsui Death Label, Big Bang Mini, XG Blast, Geometry Wars: Galaxies, Bangai-O Spirits, Danny Phantom: Urban Jungle

alright cool I want nanostray and ketsui death label. thanks! any side scrolling ones though?
WOW, ketsui is freaking 150$$

For GBA, yeah - that may be the better route to take if you have a GBA or a DS phat (I already forget if you said which model you got and am too lazy to go back and look
). But think about it - the DS shooters will be vertical because of the dual screens...it's just natural.
For Nanostray 1 and 2 some levels so go horizontal at times if I remember correctly... but it's been a while since I played either (both are fun).

I just went on a bit of a used DS game buying spree picking up a bunch of titles I meant to get but never did (Nanostray 2, Lost Magic, Glory of Heracles, Geometry Wars: Galaxies, Orcs and Elves, Diabolical Box, Hotel Dusk). Still need to find cheap copies of Arkanoid and a few others. I was never a huge fan of Geometry Wars on the 360, but I'm totally addicted to Galaxies on the DS. It's awesome and you should be able to get it for less than $10.
