Finally got my playthrough up. This was, honestly, the best I could do.

Yeah! Finally got internet at my new apartment. I picked up the game on XBLA and played the normal setting. After playing through it, I definitely think it is easier than the GEN/SNES versions. I am going to check out the new town and see if I can find a Genesis copy.

I did beat EWJ for the first time yesterday though. I love the ending! I honestly was not expecting that.

I will have plenty to say later today I'm sure.

Sucks that Evil the Cat beat you up so much, up until then it was going pretty well. When I fight him I just shoot constantly and rotate the d-pad, that works surprisingly well (though it's not foolproof).
I'll note that (at least in the PS3 version) you can boost in the asteroid levels and you have a tackle move in the Snot battle.

I am thinking about doing it again. Perhaps, instead, the SNES version. Just to at least see what, if anything, is different between them. It is a game worth seeing though to the end. It's just so damn hard.

It wouldn't surprise me if they did lessen the difficulty in certain ways for the HD versions. Good to know.

Next for me is the genesis version. Man if the HD version is less difficult, I hate to see Buttville on the Genny. The level starts off with a descent section that appears to be where vvvvvv got it's inspiration from.

Oh, and the level "For Pete's Sake".... I LOVE it. I really really do. That and Buttville are my favorites. Pete just looks so damn happy. At least until he gets eaten or falls.

Buttville has my favorite music. I submitted it for the top 100 video game themes thread.
