Rainbow Islands is still pretty cheap (compared to something like Gley Lancer or Twinkle Tale or Eliminate Down), but if you want to go cheaper, I'd look at Magical Taruruto-Kun which is a cool little platfomer - usually goes for around $25 - $30. Can't think of any other relatively cheap exclusives that are any good off the top of my head right now... I'm sure Spaceflea will be all over this
Almost forgot - I'd also go with Puyo Puyo (very cheap - you can get it for between $5-10. It's the Japanese version of Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (nicer to look at in my opinion) and the sequel, which is a tad more expensive. Great games - especially in 2 player mode
I couldn't tell you exclusives. The cheaper ones seem to be the non-region exclusives. The one I know about that I quite enjoy is dodge danpei which is a dodgeball game. Picked mine up for around $15-20 shipped. There was a game that was like a mario party type game I saw, but I have no idea what it's called and it's in Japanese. No translation out there from what I remember so no go for a repro.

I actually have that one but have never really played it. I've been meaning to get to it Another one you might want to check out Shai'tan is Devil Hunter Yohoko. Usually goes for around $40.
Easiest thing to do is search Japanese games on eBay and organize the search by cheapest first, same goes with completed listings. Then any games that interest you that you haven't played before check them out on youtube.

I would agree with Rainbow island but New Zealand story is also good probably be around $25

I've not actually played any of the games in my collection, so I don't really know which are any good or otherwise.

Really depends on your tastes...
And it also depends on your definition of "cheap."

right, but I also would like to know specific games that are JP exclusives and around that price range typically.
Cart only vs. complete are 2 different animals for sure. I would be specific as an average of the 2 is going to give you no real good info.

Aren't most Genesis games not actually region locked besides the physical size of the cartridge?
Correct. Few are. I would assume they are more likely the exclusives. I don't know.
