Nice. I won’t play most of those, but I’ll have to buy it for the shining force games. A lot of those old RPGs still hold up.

I can't speak for switch but I plat'd this on PS4 and the latency is there but far from unplayable. Not nearly as bad as a lot of other emulated games I've played on console. Now I wish I had held off though and just bought it on switch because having phantasy star 2/3/4 and shining force 1/2 portable is awesome. Really wish I could get my sega genesis collection on PSP to download on my Vita.
