I bought a Japanese 3DS last year and this was the first game I bought (looove G.rev). Will double dip.

I imported this a few weeks ago, thinking it would never come out. Still haven't gotten around to playing it :/

Is it still sealed? Can you refund it?

Bought! More small JP devs should look into going this route.

Looks like a slower-paced Bangai-O. Is that how it plays? How is it?

It's not really anything like Bangai-O. It is a very simple shooting game. You control the tank with the circle pad, aim it's turret left and right with the L and R buttons, and shoot your cannon with the B button. The basic gameplay is to make your way through the stages by simply shooting and dodging. In addition to this, at the beginning of each stage you got an allotment of 20 random cards. 4 of these cards are displayed at once on the bottom screen. The cards come in multiple variations, each offering different power-ups. Touching a card will activate that card's power-up temporarily and draw a new card on the bottom screen, until you run out. Some of the powers include a rapid fire cannon, 3-way cannon, stealth and repairing some of your shield. There are some other dynamics, but that's the game in a nutshell. It's basic, but I like it a lot. And the music is fantastic.
There is more info here: http://kokuga.net/gamecontents_e.html
I am mostly excited about finally being able to try the game's 4-player cooperative mode. The game has download-play, but I don't know anyone else with a Japanese 3DS so I haven't been able to try it.

I could've sworn this was a downloadable title. Still, I'm very interested.
It is, and will likely be $10 or less.
Huh. Something like $30 in the US, then?
Different market. They might release it as a full retail release at $30 but that would be suicide. If they are releasing it as a bonafide eShop title then it should be $10 or less. Speculation, of course.
Really not much more to the title beyond budget pricing.
I'll buy it either way, though.

What a nice surprise. I'll pick this one up
I just found out yesterday it's coming out this week, and it's out in two days and $15? Praise the dark lord. Day one.
I was thinking the same! Break that bad boy in.
Everybody buy so they feel compelled to release Gunhound EX on NA PSN!

What.... Seriously? Gave up hope on this one a long time ago. Great if true, and I'll definitely buy. This might get me to play online finally, as well. Thanks for the great news?

Is this the only shmup on 3DS in the states?
I'm thinking I'm gonna jump on this, it sounds interesting

There is Twinbee 3D Classics and Xevious 3D Classics. And Gradius on NES VC. Can't think of any others. Though there is the Mii Quest Shooter released in EU and JP. And another one called Chain Blaster that is just on JP eShop, for now.
Metal Torrent counts too, even though its via backwards compatibility. Also...Nano Assault?
EDIT: Is the soundtrack as awesome as the rest of G.Rev's stuff?
Soundtrack (and effects) are like the only good part! I kid. But yeah, fantastic. Way up there for a shmup. Is this even considered a shmup, btw? More like a tank game.
