After DC throws that man to the sharks, I will put the shark into a blender, and then I'll throw the blender into a bucket of acid, and then I will throw the bucket into a grinder, and will then throw the grinder into John DeFoe's manor before Trilby comes. And if it's a breather room, what about THE REST OF THE GAME?!?! Are they just long passage ways of nothingness?!?!?! This guy better be joking. There is no one in the Bubbleverse of Universes that can beat Hell Temple/Sanctuary EASILY. Hell Temple/Sanctuary is too EASY?!?!

And they've said at least once that he's going to be in. -Did you seriously expect the ROMs to stay in? <em>Seriously?</em> -They've repeatedly said that the game will still be hard. And La Mulana comes with an advanced difficulty option <em>already</em>, no reason to assume that won't still be present. -They've already explained why including the old graphics is impossible. They're not doing it to spite you-- it's flatly impossible. Someone's making mountains out of molehills. Couple things.

- No elder Xelpud
- No ROMs
- Too many difficulty changes, there should at least be avanced difficulty option
- Also I think it’d be nice if there was an option to choose between the oldskool and the refined graphics, though I like htem both
- No monigames and Hell Temple available only by download

I really would’ve liked to try this, but I’m not wasting money on this since I can get a much better version for free :/

If I want a game exactly like the original, I can play the original. What would be really cool if a bunch of covert Easter Eggs are planted, which only veterans will understand. An example would be that huge pot of gold in the Confusion Gate. Making that a trap wouldn't confuse new players, but it would give those of us who have played the original a hearty laugh. But more than that, the game should retain its feeling of exploration, even if you've played the original several times. I'm not looking for a few choice edits, I want to explore La Mulana all over again, with the same wonder, excitement and surprise. Believe it or not, one of the disappointments I had with the original was that there weren't enough "gotchas." With the exception of Hell Temple, the game had traps, but they didn't have bait. I love the feeling I get when I stumble across something that was clearly left there for me to find, be it something nice, or something... not so nice :) I’m sure I’m not alone in that I’m hoping not just for a prettier, more fluid La Mulana, but a complete remake.

What I keep trying and failing to say is, we now know every trick Hell Temple has got up its sleeve. So while the classic version isn't easy by ANY stretch of the imagination (it's still the maddeningly difficult exercise in masochism we all know and love to hate), it WOULD be a bit of an anticlimax. That's why the puzzles and traps need to be different. Not harder. Different. And now I'm going to stop talking about this. Naramura-san already thinks we foreigners have a weird obsession with Hell Temple, and here I am making it worse.

They have three rows of teeth and haven't evolved in several million years, because they're the ultimate predator. Also, three rows of teeth. No minigames. No old sound or graphics. Hell Temple only available as DLC. Only other DLC being Guardian Rush. What can I say? :( I'm still looking forward to what seems like a total redesign of the game. But I might wait for the reviews to roll in first instead of buying it the day it comes out. I will find that guy who said Hell Temple was too easy and I will feed him to a shark.
