Control in Tower of Doom is a bit sloppier compared to the Saturn import version (I haven't played the arcade version in a long time, so I can't comment there).
Still perfectly serviceable, though...don't let this deter anyone from getting the game. Haven't played the Shadow over Mystara port yet, but I imagine similar loose control.
bought the PS3 version (I'll probably double dip with the steam version when I have a little more money.).
DS3's d-pad is tosh...but its better the 360's IMHO.
Once upon a time I used to import Saturn games from Diehard Gamers Club.
I had awaited this release for years at that time.
My friends were begging me to preorder it, which I did.
Game came in, I called and cancelled it thinking that the US version would drop soon thereafter.
It never did.
They also never got another shipment of it either.
This and Radiant Silvergun were my biggest gaming blunders, where I made the same mistake twice.
I did something similar. The Software Ect... in the mall where I live briefly imported Saturn game (who knows why) before they were bought out by Gamestop. I purchased my copy of Castlevania: SotN from them. They happened to have Radiant Silvergun (thjey were selling it for $60)...should have bought it then. I did eventually get a copy, my fiancee, while she was studying in Japan, bought me a copy (love you, hun <3). One of the local game exchanges, though had a new copy of D&D collection, which I did grab. I've already put many hours into these games. It's a nice change to play them in English, though.
