I didn't care much for the PSP dialogue since it was mostly rephrased rather than re-translated. And the voice acting was still bad. So it was like okay, what was the point? If I was nice, I'd say that it was one notch above the badness of SoTN but still bad.

And I never noticed any problems with ghosting.

The PSP 2000 suffers from it the most, which is the one that was released around the same time as DXC so I unfortunately bought that one. It really ruins the experience.

I agree with this, but while it was a notch above the badness of the original it was also no longer so bad its good... :-\

^Off-topic, but I really hope they don't do something similar with the Star Fox 64 remake for 3DS coming up. The wacky voice acting is half of the appeal.

Dee-tach the rear veehickle.

Have you heard of a Retro Duo? It plays both NES & SNES games, plus it's pretty cheap (about $40, but you could prolly find it even cheaper on ebay or some place). Some models even have Genesis support.


Or you can just hack your Wii if you have 1
I'm not sure if this has been responded to, but if being purist is a concern, I would recommend against these modern clone systems. Granted, I haven't tried the retro duo, but I've tried the yobo and some others. They basically emulate the entire system on a chip, leaving all the room for emulation inaccuracies. It's nice having something to plug into a TV and using the original cartridge and all, but using a good emulator and ROM may actually handle the game more accurately. Who knows how well sound expansion and/or more advanced mappers work (like MMC5 in CV3 US) on these systems as well...

I guess the biggest offense of the clone systems is usually the sound emulation. Then again that probably doesn't matter to most gamers at all...

He's beaten it. Considering his inactivity, I think he is trying to get Rondo Of Blood now.

As someone who also dislike Belmont Jump Physics, he'll probably want to find Maria at the first opportunity, though she can make it stupid easy.
