NISA announces LA-MULANA 1 & 2 for Switch/PS4/XBO for early 2020
- Thread starter Hero of Legend
- Start date
Biggest difference was that EX came with a Bestiary and some other tweaks. From the Playstation blog:
It would be nice to have, although I wouldn't be crushed if we didn't get it. I'm mainly here for 2.
I'm not sure if Rising Star Games owns the exclusive rights to EX in the west.
sounds like good improvements, would suck if we got the basic version in this release
Glad it's coming out for more platforms. La-Mulana is one of my favorite games ever. I broke down and used a guide for some of the puzzles for the first game way back. But when the second game came out, I was in full on out puzzle mode, taking notes and making screenshots of anything that looked important and all the tablets. Beating the game without any guide was the best feeling.
Nothing really comes close to LM1&2 in the genre.
Glad more people will play it. It's not for everyone though.
Still think everyone should try it, guide or no guide.
I can't even finish LM1 in replays without some help here and there, game is so full of stuff that i always forget most of it despite playing it every year haha
Is this the first physical xbox game that NISA has released on their store?
Second technically. RPG Maker MV was going to be the first but that was canned.
Edit: which makes me wonder why NISA is trying again. They could've skipped Xbox and no one would have bat an eye.
No, Japanese and Chinese only, but I really wanted a physical copy. Had I known, I would have waited on this one, but alas.
Because Kadokawa Games cancelled the Xbox One version themselves, NISA was just localizing and publishing the English release not actually porting it themselves. The PS4 and Switch version released in Japan November of last year and apparently had a ton of bugs and issues, and that's why NISA keeps pushing back the release of RPG Maker MV.
For sure. I never made it to the end of LM1 myself. Not sure why exactly lol.
I did finish LM2 though around release. Needed a guide for some part though.
Ah that explains a fair bit, thanks! So it's likely the dev of this game doing the port then? Still surprising to see NISA change their tune to begin with haha
That I'm not sure about Nigoro did release a native Xbox One version of La Mulana 2 themselves for Japan digitally, but have no idea who's doing a port of the first game for the system. Maybe NISA is porting it themselves, so we'll have to wait and see. And yeah I remember the president of NISA openly criticizing Microsoft because of their higher minimum print requirements and that's why they had been skipping the platform, so I guess something had to have changed for NISA to commit to physically releasing an Xbox One version of this collection and previously RPG Maker MV.
Yall newbies also ready for their hard-drumming, elbow-throwing tunes to accompany your descents into madness?
Yup. People think "Metroidvania!" and are WOEFULLY underprepared for multi-field puzzles. Screenshots, notes, diagrams; they describe it as "an Archaeological Adventure Game" for a reason. lol

I hope the final physical box is a liiiiiittle more inspiring, but I can see myself buying physical anyway. Did they list a price?
Either way it's pretty cool. Can't wait to try out the game!
I'm shocked! However, it's not over $75 so no free shipping... Was planning on combining shipping for it. Maybe there will be some at the PAX booth tomorrow so Imma go there asap!
EU version coming. More details to come.
For those excited about La-Mulana we have a panel at PAX broadcasting to twitch.tv/PAX2 at 4pm pt (about an hour), where we'll be interviewing the designer, Mr. Naramura and having him eat spicy curry at the same time.

Someone asked at the panel if it was La-Mulana EX in the bundle. Naramura said that they are making some improvements to the first game based off of La-Mulana 2. Hints and other things that can make LM1 easier to understand and beat. He also wants to improve the sound in the game. He didn't really clarify if it woud have all of the EX extras.
It was also mentioned that in Japan they complain that the games are too hard, but in America they want the games to be harder.
There was also some curry and hot sauce taste testing during trivia segments which was pretty fun.

Sorry bout that, I caught that question and didn't have the time to re-ask, but I'm going to find this out from Naramura-san hopefully by the end of the weekend.
I hope those desired sound improvements also become updates to the PC version. I still need to finish La Mulana 2 (and 1....and Classic) and I may play alongside the new crop.
