Game looks great, but if I'm paying that much for it I want it to be hard enough that it makes me feel really rewarded for finishing it. Looks too easy. I want games to piss me off sometimes so I'm motivated to come back and keep playing it.

Don't worry. I'm sure the difficulty issues will be addressed with the patch.

Wow, that's quite an update. I like the changes I see there. I plan on playing through it a few times before doing the update so I can really get a feel for how the updates impacted the gameplay. It's nice to know that you guys really listened to the feedback.

All sounds super cool, seems like the company really does care about its clients. As soon as the game arrives, I am downloading that to my copy.

Great, thats a very retro way to go to the stage you left!...now to figure it out.

I don't want to upgrade yet.

Question - how easy would it be to downgrade if we don't like it ? I haven't had to patch any NGDev games yet

I think in the case of a little developer releasing new games for a very limited customer base you should be thankful if there are any patches!!!

And even more thankful that there are still gamemakers out there who listen to the people that play their games!

I assume it's the same as Fast Striker. Once you upgrade you can't go back. There is no uninstall utility. I'm not sentimental about it though. The upgraded versions of their games are more complete and perfected. Keeping a non-upgraded cart around is really only for the most anal of collectors.

Yeah, I'm not sure why you would want to change back after the update. Just from reading the list of changes, it's pretty clear that this is the way the game should have been from the very begining. It should be quite a noticable improvement. They seem to have addressed all of the complaints and then some.

This. Aside from the bug fixes, the patched version is also a lot more balanced and fun.

i never got to play version 1.0 but i do think that the latest version is pretty challenging. aside from the first few bosses, of course.

analogue interactive

We'll I was looking forward to updating this game to version 1.1, but with me having an analogue interactive, is this even possible? The instructions say about switching to DIP1. I'm just kinda bummed. I wish they had fixed the game before they released it. I mean I played it only one time and found the glitches. So am I just stuck with version 1.0? I mean it's a really good game, but $600.00 for an inferior version that I can't update

Got my copy today, but I'm stuck at the "please wait" screen.

I tried my Pink Bullets and Fast Striker carts so I know its not my Neo or the Super MVS Converter II.

Anybody else have any issues?

Also, can the software update be done with an AES and the Converter? Or does this have to be done with an MVS?
