Playing the Mega Man X collection on Gamecube was terrible. The PS2 version is better just for the controller. But emulating them is probably even better. I think the bonus game had some graphical emulation bugs.

In January JP will get Yakuza Kiwami (Yakuza Extreme), which is a remake of the first game for PS4. There will eventually be Yakuza 2 Kiwami and they will both be translated, I think.

I wouldn't call it that obscure.

The Dreamcast got a lot of improved PS1/N64 titles. It's a great console for that kind of stuff.

>>319639819
They'll probably hire the same translator/team and acquire market rights for EU and US digital deliveries, I think they understood we want the games.
But if physical Y0 does big in the West, we might all get physical in each region soon.

Hi

>>319643182
There are 5 versions
PS1 (low res)
N64 (compressed graphics, low res)
PC (hi-res, hard mode, gallery, etc)
Dreamcast (a port of the PC version with a health bar on the controller)
Gamecube (hi-res, port of PS1 version)
PC with AHK Injector is best (so you can run it at any resolution)
>>
RE2 & 3 on DC are the best versions due to 60fps

PC version of 3 however has higher res backgrounds, so pick your poison with DC vs PC

I would love for Capcom to release the original trilogy again on PC, since they are kinda hard to run on newer OS's, plus no Xinput

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Modern Warfare 2 (called Modern Warfare: Mobilized), World at War, and Black Ops had DS ports. The story and voice acting was completely different. I've always wanted to play them just for curiousity.
Also, the PS2 had a World at War game that was nothing like World at War.

That's not obscure, I'd argue its one of the best version of Virus Racer, but the 32x version is slightly better if it weren't for the extra content in the Saturn version.

No more COD on Nintendo now

No, but I hear it's really good. I remember being excited for the PC version, but I hear it's inferior to the DS version. Dementium 1 is pretty spooky though.

Easier to dash+jump with, I think.
It's really awkward doing that and having the shift your thumb 90 degrees so you can shoot with the SNES's Y button.

I have no problem playing MMX games on my SNES, but when I tried it on the Saturn, it was really confusing and I couldn't do it properly.

The N64 one was at least a great technical achievement for the time. It was also late in the N64 lifetime so even people with an N64 may not have known about it.
