Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
This is an amazing remaster done by Capcom, finally this gem of a game isn't locked to the PS2 anymore and can be fully appreciated with new HD textures and upscaled backgrounds that look stunning compared to the muddy backgrounds on emulator, the new controller bindings are such a godsend in the quality of life department it makes the game way more enjoyable to playthrough.

The remaster improves many things, including higher-resolution backgrounds, modern controls, extra mini-games and Steam Deck support.
