Once you delete an account you purchased content from, you can't access it from other accounts anymore.
As Ruldra said, I wouldn't risk this either. Just wait for a sale or something to come up.

Bought Alpha Mission 2 and Metal Slug. Best emulation I've seen so far for Alpha Mission 2. Jumped right into AM2's network mode and had an awesome time playing with this one dude. We'd die once and restart over and over again. I was surprised at how smooth and responsive it felt. No lag whatsoever when played with reasonable ping. I played a few times with some people with slow connections and the lag was unbearable.

What I do is in the options, set the ping flter really high and set to "search for players while playing". Someone always pops up.

I really hope they bring out Blazing Star, Pulstar, etc.

The other side of that is my experience with the online - I can't find anybody playing Samurai Showdown online with a decent ping, and the only games I can find are an unplayable mess.

I'm all for this.. if I can get superior net-play and finally be able to play with some decent Metal Slug players.
Google Translate tells me that Unlimited Mode "is for people who like festivals."

Having bought this quite "accidentally" (in other words.... being drunk), I must say I had worse surprises in my mailbox/bed after getting loaded.

This game actually is really nice and enjoyable if you like your late 80's/early 90's kinda shmup.
It's no Cave (THANK GOD), but does most everything well in the style in fashion those days.

Special mention has to go to the music, which really sets the mood right.

I can't judge quality of emulation since I never played the original on it's hardware, but this really plays nice and seems natural (even with the dual shock 3's sticks)
