So weird when they make these choices.
Would have been nice to get those extra things in (doubt licensing is an issue?).
Will pick up regardless.

Is it confirmed to be digital only? No physical means I'm out.
I think it's refering to either the 3D background of SOTN or the backgrounds on the sides because the games are running at their original resolution resolution and aspect ratio.
I don't understand why they don't have psp games for sale on psn. Is it because if fucking trophies?
psp localization?
i also wish an HD version of the remake was included too, i enjoyed it. just a res bump would have been enough.

You're right, I forgot about the sides. Those usually get referred to as "borders" don't they? What a weird way to advertise a new port.
Hey Ultros, about the last thread, someone noticed Alucard portrait in dialogues is equal to PSP version, the iconic voice acting may not be in this (It's kind a bummer, HAM lines all the way!!!).
But it's confirm that Maria is payable.
Day 0 for me now!!! :D
I think there's a genuine discussion to be had about how stupid it is to make the re-release of 20 something years old games exclusive but I'll refrain.
Kinda curious how GBAVanias will look on TV. They don't look nice on my TV via the Wii U.
I guess so. Maybe because they also dont want people to ask about the PSP games they own digitally. This way, they dont need to provide support.
Sony has PS2 and PSP emulators which means people have a mean to play their PS2 classics bought on PS3 , PS2 dvds and PSP digital purchases.
the only 3D polygonal backgrounds i can remember in SOTN are the chapel room with the sword and also Castle Keep right outside where you fought Dracula in the Prologue (that Clock Tower is 3D). Other than that, those floating books in the library are polygonal too.
I'm now questioning whether my decision to buy SotN on sale for six dollars a couple of weeks ago was the right one or not.
It's not stupid since it's not a rerelease. How do you release something that seems to run on the official PSP emulator for PS4 elsewhere ?
sir_crocodile Hmm I see, still you never know, maybe somehow someone could hack or edit the game to give Maria her Saturn moveset somehow IN THE FUTURE.
so this is basically the psp game running in an emulator? doesn't seem like it.
Yep here is the psp version looks almost identical, even the background is the same.
It's probably doable if the hacker is super good, just a metric ton of work. They'd have to create their own assets for the stuff that doesn't exist in the game for example.
As someone that played Saturn version, the new content is nice but the quality is not as same as the classic version.
Imo the only two things that worth in Saturn version is Maria Boss Battle (She's really more challenging and her boss soundtrack Guardian is incredible) and her playable broken/overpowered version that shoots beams like Megaman.
It seems to be though. It's the same background artworks. It seems to also be based on the PSP version according to the character portraits orientations.
if it was the psp iso running in an emulator it would also have the 3D remake, and have sotn and rondo be locked at the beginning. this clearly isn't the psp game emulated, there's more work involved.
Very interesting if it truly is exclusive due to them being psp emulated. I do believe they are straight up the psp versions of these games after seeing the screenshots.
For me any re-release of Rondo is worth it, I'd buy Rondo alone for $20 easily. Especially the DXC version of Rondo since it's properly localized.

And? The Megaman Legacy Collections uses NES roms even on PS4 and Xbox One.
Konami: "What is a game? A miserable pile of codes! But enough talk, have at you!!"
It is possible they reworked the ISO like Patapon or Parappa.
It is clear they can change assets and stuff so it is possible they changed the menu to let you play the games without finding them in the remake since they removed it.
How isnt it the psp game ?
Same backgrounds, same portraits. So far, it seems to indicate PSP versions being used here.
And it required more efforts as to make an actual NES emulator. Do you see the difference ?
Capcom hired a company to make or use a NES emulator (a really old platform) to run on multiple platforms.
Konami used the official PSP emulator which already existed on PS4 to release PSP versions of a game that already exist.
Aw dang it it's the PS1 SOTN. I was really hoping it was the PSP one. I'll have to think about purchasing this some more.
that may be true, i'm just saying these being originally on PSP didn't mean they couldn't have been on other platforms. we have NES games on xbo/ps4, ps2 games on switch, ps1 games on xbo, it's not that. this is just exclusive cuz they wanted it to be.
I didn't realize that about Tak Fujii, pretty cool.
Akira Yamaoka apparently did some of the drum programming in a couple of tracks on Symphony of the Night as well (not surprising, really).
