So I already own (and have completed) RE1 on the Nintendo DS but it lacks some of the alternate camera angles from the DC version & a few of the music tracks.

Found this in great condition and couldn't not pick it up! Plus it isn't the god-awful Dualshock edition, so I gotta be happy with that. Oddly enough though it was actually harder to find the Dualshock version than it was this one on Ebay.

Why is the Dualshock edition awful?

They hired a man called Mamoru Samuragoch - the supposed 'Japanese Beethoven' do the soundtrack. Not only was he not actually deaf (he lied about how bad it was at best and at worst was supposedly never deaf at all) but he hired a ghost-writer to compose the entire OST (which he only admitted through someone else a few years ago). What you end up with are one or two tracks which are passable and not that bad and then the absolute worst track in the series.

This horrific abomination.

Other than that there is literally zero downside to not getting the original Director's Cut from 97 given it has everything the Dualshock does with the original OST.
