So, I've just watched DEMON212's review of Golden Axe 3 and noticed that he sometimes triggered the character's dash by accident when holding left or right...
This problem seems to be related with the irregular control input that also happens in other games I've downloaded on the VC (Streets of Rage 2, Dynamite Headdy...), where the game will randomly stop and immediately resume reading a control (direction or button press) even if you're holding it (try holding the PAUSE button for some time in certain MegaDrive games to see the game pause and unpause itself).
Can somebody please check if this happens only with the remote? I know the problems stopped when I used the GameCube controller, but I can't remember if it happens with the Classic Controller as well.
I've also noticed that, in some MegaDrive games I've tried (ie. Rolling Thunder 2), some random button presses won't be registered, leading to inevitable deaths when the timing was crucial. Has anybody noticed this before?
Then again, this might be some PAL issue only, so US people might have never experienced such a thing.
