Line #12 Trivia/LaMulana


1	* CutSong: The jukebox program that comes with the PC version of the game reveals a number of songs that never made it into the final version of the game. In the [=WiiWare=] version Good Morning Mom gets used.
2	* DevelopmentHell: The UsefulNotes/WiiWare [[VideoGameRemake remake]] was originally planned for a 2009 release window, but problems stirred concerning the game itself that NIGORO needed to re-work the game and ultimately delay it. This happened again in 2010 when there was a problem on getting the game to [=WiiWare=] and getting Creator/{{Nintendo}}'s approval. It was finally released on [=WiiWare=] on June 21, 2011... [[NoExportForYou only in Japan]]. Due to the decline of the [=WiiWare=] service, it was canceled by [=NICALiS=] from its overseas release in May 2012, much to fans' dismay (and anger).
3	** SavedFromDevelopmentHell: The overseas release of the game was finally released in July 13, 2012 for PC during the launch of the English-language page for [[http://www.playism-games.com/ Playism]], a Japanese UsefulNotes/DigitalDistribution store by Active Media Gaming Co. that sells and distributes {{indie game}}s.
4	** UnCanceled: As mentioned on the main page, the [=WiiWare=] version of ''La-Mulana's'' remake was picked up by the Spanish, Barcelonian-based [=EnjoyUp=] Games as the [=WiiWare=]'s new publisher, and it was finally released on September 20, 2012, and fans couldn't be happier.
5	** The sequel also qualifies. While regular updates show that progress is being made, it's taking much longer than Nigoro figured. The game was originally planned for a 2015 release (as hinted at by a tablet in the remake), but as of June 2017 a projected release date hasn't been announced....Till July 29, 2018 where the release date was announced ''for July 30.''
6	* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The Roland SC-88 MIDI soundtrack, also called the arranged soundtrack, can only be found through [[https://web.archive.org/web//http://files.myopera.com/White%20Knell/lamulana_music/ the Wayback Machine]].
7	* PromotedFanboy:
8	** Jasmine "Momogirl" Cote herself has confirmed that she is now one of the translators for the US release. She is also on the Special Thanks list.
9	** LetsPlay/DeceasedCrab's let's play of La-Mulana helped popularize the game in the west. He would eventually become a beta tester for the remake and was also put on the Special Thanks list.
10	* SelfImposedChallenge: Some UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} achievements require players to do these. Some examples include defeating Zu without using the Lamp of Time and defeating all Guardians (including Mother) without using sub-weapons (one achievement each for normal mode and hard mode).
11	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
12	** An updated version for the original ''La-Mulana'' designed to work better on modern operating systems was planned if the sequel's Kickstarter reached a specific stretch goal during its campaign, however, the goal to development this updated re-release of the first game was not reached before the campaign's end.
13	** Through the archive of the [=GR3=] Project website, found on the Internet Archive, several Room Guardians in the MSX version are shown with different designs or a more simplistic monochromatic design. For a rundown.
14	*** Argus was shown with a solid blue body with eyes drawn on.
15	*** Ox-head and Horse-face, as well as Shu and Kulullu, had two-color graphics.
16	*** Lahamu was originally going to be fought in the form of a ThreateningShark rather than a mobile suit of armor.
17	*** Kuusarikku was shown as being a Holstein cow with red wings, rather than an ox with purple wings.
18	*** Ushumgallu is shown in a different pose. However this design would later be used in the remake.
19	*** Buer is shown in a different pose.
20	*** The statues of the giants, including Sakit, used placeholder graphics to denote where they could be passed through or work as semi-solid platforms.
21	** Two different versions of Fearless Challenger and Wonder of the Wonder can be heard when changing the music to Chiptune mode in the remake on console and PC respectively. The older version of Wonder of the Wonder replaces the "non-scream" version while the final version replaces the "scream version". The older version of Fearless Challenger only appears in the Gate of Time as an Easter Egg.
