Three Wonders' "Don't Pull" DOES have a few flashing things I noticed on re-watch, like the bomb blocks flash a bit, and there's a very fast like 1-frame white screen flash when you get the potion powerup that stuns all the baddies onscreen.
(After recording I noticed that when a monster is peeking out of a manhole before they fully enter the level, you can run over it to shut the manhole and keep them out!)
SonSon's controls are a bit twitchy/floaty at all the wrong times ; D. And it's hard to tell with the extremely super-deformed sprite but I GUESS the monkey-man is spraying all these shots with a flintlock pistol, and I'm not really into handguns these days...not that flintlocks are usually involved in mass shootings or anything, so I suppose that's probably just an excuse to get out of the game because you gotta do so darn much constant shooting & point grabbing and scrambling between layers--it's exhausting! = P
Eh probably there's a frame or two extra input delay due to Capcom insisting on emulating these games through MAME running through their RE Engine. : PPP ; PPPP And that's gonna be the most unpleasant in super-twitchy games like SonSon.
And the spawn deaths DO suck, they really shouldn't have let that happen.
(Note to self: the SonSon on Famicom has even twitchier controls and horrible slowdown. SonSon in Capcom Generation 3 for PS1 DOES feel more responsive, and looks at least as good as the CA2S version. Still got the handgun and spawn deaths and relentlessness though so I'll probably stay away still.)
(Oh heck wait though isn't there a Wonders 3 on PS1?) (Yes, and it does feel more responsive. I should be playing that one. : PP) (Hm except I don't seem to have kept my disc of it, it doesn't look like it's on the JP PS Store on PS3, and it's super-expensive on eBay. Eh oh well that's fine, I don't need to be playing this one tons anyway.)
Doesn't seem to be any volume control in 2nd Stadium, which is sorta annoying. Fortunately the games are running at ABOUT the sound level I would want, but eh potentially having to resort to volume controls in my OBS recording software or Windows Sound Mixer is just way more annoying to have to track. : P
