Was it released in Japan in 2011?

Forum signature.

Yes.

Does the game have a Wikipedia page?

I don't want to give up and just say what the game is, but I'll loosen the rules a bit to speed this up: the first game does, the second game (which is to say, the game the song is from) does not.

...I'm so lost. Does the (original) game's name contain a colon?

Well, that’d be jus’ a waste. Why would ya want to deprive the world of such anomaly as yourself?

Just making sure, the original game was made by the same dev/company, right?

Was the developer Inti Creates?

No colon in the title, same dev, not Inti.

As an alternative to scouring Wikipedia, I'll give you one more hint: both games are listed on the Platform Game and Metroidvania pages.

Well guess what? I scoured every single page in that Wikipedia category and not ONE game fit your description. Which means either you answered something crucial wrong (which includes the fact that it has a Wikipedia page), or that you've been lying, the latter of which I doubt.

I checked myself, and it's on Wikipedia's list. Every single question I've answered to the best of my ability (and can explain each answer in detail, should it become necessary). There's only one answer that might possibly be off, and for the sake of argument, I shall amend it:

I answered "yes". I will change this answer to "yes, depending on your definition".

Well, a genuine thanks for checking and fixing one. I'll just keep going the path of least resistance.

Does the original game’s title start with a letter from A-M?

Forum signature.

Yes.

Does it start with a letter from A-G?

Forum signature.

A-E?

Well, that’d be jus’ a waste. Why would ya want to deprive the world of such anomaly as yourself?

No to both.

La-Mulana 2?

shouldn't his favorite genre be RPG and not point and click though

Round 520

• The song is from La-Mulana 2.
• The song doesn't play in an odd-numbered level (rather, these games don't have ordered levels at all).
• Unlike the game's title, the song doesn't have any hyphens or numbers in it.
• It's not a boss theme.

Explanation time!

The original La-Mulana was an 8-bit retraux game released in 2005, with a 16-bit remake released in 2011 in Japan, 2012 elsewhere. La-Mulana 2 is a sequel in the 16-bit style, released in 2018 for PC and later for consoles (including the Switch and PS4). Both games were made by NIGORO, a Japanese indie dev (and by "indie", I mean "is comprised of three people"), and published by Playism. Both games are listed on the Metroidvania and Platform Game pages. The first game has a Wikipedia entry, but the second does not (it's only mentioned as a sub-article on the first game's page).

I consider "La-Mulana 2" to be more than one word, but it depends on how you qualify numbers and/or hyphenated words, so it might be ambiguous. To the best of my knowledge, all the other answers I've given have been consistent with this information.

Well that explains it. I had forgotten that I had originally asked for when the rerelease was first released. In hindsight that was stupid of me and would've been better if I had just asked for the original's first release like I thought I had.

Does the song have any hyphens or numbers?

No. No.

Does the song have one word?

Can it be found on this page?
