I need to get PSN points so I can pick up the Capcom classics, sure beats paying through the nose for the Saturn ports.

I tried it a little. It's a great arcade game. But I thought they were going to remake it in HD. It seems like the same game with some visual filters applied. I believed it was going to be a remake like the upcoming Duck Tales HD.
Apart from that, it's a game with good soundtrack and really beautiful look.

Yeah that sort of thing really bugs me, they think if they slap a crummy upscaling filter on the original pixel art it counts as "HD visuals".

I'm waiting until it gets released on Wii U to pick it up...   which is taking forever.

MAME'd that badboy for years. If I wasn't leaving the country soon I'd consider buying it on Steam for the multiplayer.

For playing the first game (Tower of Doom), I've always used the Elf chick. But for Shadow over Mystara, it's that bronze-skinned beauty of a thief all the way! And once you get the most powerful sword in the game then the thief can hold her own as well as any of the heavy hitters like the Fighter or Cleric.

I'm currently out of town and left my PS3 at home but have toyed with buying this. Is it any good?

To be honest, it doesn't add anything new worth to mention to the experience of the original classics, other than cool multiplayer (which I can't make work on my computer) and the merging of the 2 original games.
To tell you the truth, I recommend you to download it from The Pirate Bay, play it through and compare it with the originals (available on MAME). Just some visual filters don't make the graphics prettier.
I love this kind of arcade games (D&D, Dungeon Magic, Crystal of Kings, The Astyanax...), since I'm totally into fantasy and medieval stuff, but this one felt like a generic rehash to me. Just a little more than what you get emulating the original.

So happy they aren't in HD, but I first must get the Simpsons and X-Men arcade games before I hunt down for this, plus the PSOne Classic, Zanac X Zanac.
