Darkstalkers 3

Darkstalkers 3 is a reworked "EX" port of Vampire Savior with some additions. Enjoy the "original character" feature, where you can customize your own character, and the modes for Vampire Savior 2 and Vampire Hunter 2, which are translated, unlike in another compilation.

The Collection Gallery images are unlockable after a lot of grinding, but, if pressed for time, simply putting the disc into a computer allows you to easily access 640x480 bitmaps of these images.
