IGN article

Video footage

Achievements List (um... spoilers?)

The article at IGN being the most interesting, in my mind. They were able get a 500+ MB game to meet the 50 MB or less limit for Live Arcade games. That's impressive.

Yes, all this fuss over a 10 year old game. Get over it.

P.S. in b4 what is a man lulz

Great, the first title on the 360 which jumps out, grabs me by the balls and screams BUY ME! happens to be one from 10 years ago.

*whimpers and paws at the screen* Kitty wants his Richter Belmont...

Also... why do you get less points for glitching the game past the 200% limit than completing it with Richter, which can take as little as 15 minutes.

Apparently the reason they were able to compress it so much was due to a large amount of the original data being taken up by audio, which nowadays you can compress much more effectively. Still, cramming it down to ~50MB is indeed impressive.

Special circumstances, apparently. Seems fair enough to me. I wouldn't be surprised if it was more than 1000 MS points either (which is something like $12, I think). Still, I think it's probably worth it.
