Topic: Christmas!!

Snagged it for a hair under $30, free shipping too, pretty damned good condition too. One of the best purchases I've made in awhile.

As for Sonic Advance 2, don't really have much free time, so that will be played very sparingly. The fighting games I don't have to put a ton if time into, so those are good.

That's a good deal. Also Hsien-Ko/Lei-Lei is my favorite to.

Good thing about the Japanese release, Lei Lei instead of Hsein-ko (I don't like this name for her, doesn't seem ladylike of a name).

Bad thing about this collection, all win quotes in Japanese.

I've heard there's a cheat or something to switch between the English and Japanese versions of the games in that collection. You might also like to pick up the Darkstalkers Graphic File if you can find it for a decent price. (No WAY is it worth the $80 - $90 I'm seeing on amazon right now. I bought it for under $30 about 2 years ago.) It's a sort of quasi strategy guide art book thing that has all of the win quotes (and endings and special moves) for all of the characters in every game, though unfortunately they're in really small screenshots.

Too much for my wallet/budget sadly.

Small screenshots will finish me going blind.

No cheat I know of exists to put the collection into English, though there are lots of dipswitch stars to tinker with. Most seem aimed at added or removing arcade revisions bugs.
