    Default What is the correct spelling of the Virtual On game series?

    You've probably heard of the series Cyber Troopers Virtual On, but is it supposed to be spelled "Virtual On" or "Virtual-On"? I've seen both spellings. Problem is that on the game boxes, it's written on 2 lines, not one line. So if it was to be written on one line, what is the correct way of spelling it? Is there an official statement by the makers of the game regarding this?

    I don't think it's supposed to have a dash. But there's stuff like this:

    I'd guess the dash was just added by a translator back in the day before the internet. And it propagated as common knowledge, maybe?
    *PSA* Wii Redump collector's can now unscrub ISO files. So scrubbed games can now be verified. You can find the program to do this here

    I'd like to make a case for the "always go with the hyphen"-doctrine here. What is it with the English language and separating words, huh? HUH!?
