I gave up looking for it in a store, so I rented it through Gamefly and I will just end up buying it from them.
I have heard that GameCrazy and Frys have it in stock but I don't have either of those stores near me. Like you said, it is available online though.

If you need any help as well, I'd be glad to pick up a copy. Though you'd have to pay for shipping so you might be better off getting online with free shipping.

Snagged this last night. With as many characters as there are in this game, they introduce the inevitable; some characters really suck, and some are powerhouses.
The Game Crazy I went to got one copy, so chances are that the rest of 'em around here did as well. If you need help getting one, drop me a line and I'll grab one for you.

How is it compared to shiki 2? I thought 2 was pretty great.

My experience with Shikigami 2 is pretty limited. I only had it for a little while. So, take my opinion lightly.
Shikigami 3 is awesome. Difficulty is paced well. From the review in EGM, and them crying about how hard it was, I was expecting DOJ or something. It's not that hard. I didn't 1cc it or anything, but I got pretty far on one cred my first time playing it.
From my limited experience, I would say that 3 is on par with 2.

Yeah, I'd say it's pretty similar to Shiki 2 as well in terms of both gameplay and atmosphere. It's got the exact same organic mecha sub-bosses and character bosses that 2 had, and the third stage is the same kind of indoor tunnel with shootable walls as Shiki 2's 3rd stage.
I think it might be a bit harder, 'cause I still can't clear Stage 4.1. I managed to clear all the stages in Shiki 2 much faster.

I have the 360 version.
I think it's one of the hardest "modern" shmups I've played in a while. It's taken me tons of practice in order to be able to get past the mid-boss in the 3rd level (on normal difficulty, without continues). Honestly, I find it harder than Ikaruga. I do enjoy the challenge though.

Sounds like Microsoft nixed it, as they seem to be increasingly hostile towards this kind of thing (as they nixed the XBLA versions of Ketsui and Ibara).
Wack.
I finally found this locally today, it's really fun and of course is the kind of thing there isn't bloody much of, let alone on the Wii. The manual and cover are sweet, the English voices are unfortunate but I'm happy whenever we get anything like this stateside.
