Does this mean that it's a timed thing or does it unlock forever when that happens?

Seems like a timed thing; it's actually kind of a bummer since I'd love to have been able to unlock those costumes!
Lovely package... cover/inside art is nice, manual is of superb quality, game looks and plays great. Like Binding of Isaac and Shovel Knight, it's nice to have a standard physical edition that has some nice goodies inside, giving you something to look forward to vs. the flimsy zero-weight fare of most modern releases.
Edit: Story of Seasons 3DS was also a nice surprise in that regard.

Bought this today thanks to a BB welcome to GCU $5 off $30 game coupon, so right price at the right time. It was $19.99 after the 5 dollars off and GCU!
And thanks to the recommendation of this thread. I've played about 30 minutes and already love it. My daughter (2 yrs) fell asleep on me watching me play, I think the awesome music relaxed her to sleep.

My package got stuck in customs even tho I paid the expedited shipping. Gotta love the Canary Islands and its fucking import fees (we even pay fees to order things from the rest of Spain)
Amazon refunded the import fees and said they will refund whatever extra fees I have to pay. But this is stupid. I should just have my game by now.

Oh, I'll take you up on that offer!
The entire game becomes halloween themed when you play on halloween. Halloween Curly puts on a Samus costume.
There's a Christmas theme too.
Awesome, thank you!
Does this have the 3DS OST too? I know the Steam version does, that´s my favorite version of the game´s music. Have CS3D on cart as well, but not really into that version´s graphics.

It'll spoil the first... hour of the game? It tells you what weapons you're going to get. I would just look at it after you finish the game if you really don't want to get spoiled by anything.
Yep! The "remastered" soundtrack is that one. One of the best IMO.

Edit: Whoa super late response. Carry on.
this game is so difficult fsahiugbansmk
It's terrible because I don't have
Spur
Darn it Curly.
Nope, there's only one in the game and I believe you can't retrieve it anymore once you've saved after the
Zombie Core
It's not impossible to beat him without one, but it's extremely tricky. I've beaten this game a thousand times but I still need one. You should aim to get to him with much more HP than that though, ideally you want to be able to at least get past a couple of his forms before resorting to the life pot.
You can recover some HP in the room with the statues after fighting that giant block though.
Edit: Wow, never attempted it without the spur. That does sound impossible lol.

This really has me considering getting the normal ending and moving on. I'm all for a healthy challenge but I don't want to be broken.
Best ending is not nearly as hard as people make it out to be, it's just that yeah, if you used your life pot before reaching the final area... You're in for a bad time.
If you saved it for that section though, it only takes some practice.
Also aiming for the best ending lets you get the normal one if you want too. You could always follow the steps for the best one, get the normal ending, reload your save, and this time attempt the last stage too.
Nope, you can play everything in the main story on Easy. Only challenges have a set difficulty.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
I played through the game a second time, but must've messed something up along the way, because while things were starting to change this time around, I got the same ending as before.
It's telling, though, that I'm still having a great time just playing through the game again and again.

There's no pic of the Samus costume?
Did you
enter the abandoned house when escaping with Sue? If it was blocked with debri then you probably did something wrong, but you have to enter it instead of escaping to alter the ending.

Yeah, I tried to, but it was locked
Ow that sucks. Did you get the iron bond from Curly at the Plantation? Missing that is the most common mistake, I think I had to aim for the best ending my third time because of it too haha. It's so fun though that I didn't mind.

She remains with her head exposed after that fight.

I think the mistake I made was
that after I used the tow cable to haul Curly back, I put let her rest in that one room, but didn't read the book or whatever it was.
At least, going by what the manual says.

But it's fine. I'll just start a new game tonight and see if I can't figure it the fuck out.

Yeah, sounds like I fucked up.
I used my life pot during theZombie Core fight.
Now I'm in...is it the end after that or is there more forms?!Hell and barely manage to reach the fucking boss at the end with all these fucking cherubs in the way
If you mean the
giant robot thing that charges its laser
you're not even close as you've got 4 more boss fights after that with NO CHECKPOINTS
If you mean
Ballos in his giant ball form with the spiked floor, spinning platforms and cherubs surrounding it, then you're at the very last boss
LMAO
Better start over then, and me who thought I did everything perfectly.
No big deal though, game is highly enjoyable.

If you don't get the spur and nemesis don't even try to take on the true end

I've heard this game mentioned A LOT of the past few years, but have somehow managed to not play any version of it, or really learn anything about what kind of game it actually is.
Just got a Switch though and am thinking about picking this up.
What is this game all about exactly? Just looking for a general description of mechanics, etc.

It's a 2D platforming adventure game that plays a lot like Metroid but more story-driven. Your character shoots with a variety of guns, you explore the environment for power-ups and secrets, and there's challenging boss fights.

Ha, you're the same as me. I just got a Switch and looking for something else play, and I got this on the recommendation of this thread.
I only gave it a test run of about 30 minutes, it was fun so far! Looking forward to getting more into next week
The Nemesis is a flat out downgrade to the Blade. If you're right on top of an enemy, level 2 blade will come out as fast as you can mash which gives it insane damage output and makes it a great boss killer. If you know what you're doing (or don't know what you're doing but have a life pot) you can use the blade to end each of the final boss phases in seconds.
Spur is better for the true end but machine gun is manageable. By the time you're good enough to beat it you probably won't be taking much damage along the way anyway.

Glad I'm not the only one setting this to easy. Gonna have to ease into this lol.
Game is fun just didn't expect it to be so difficult.

Sooo... the final segment
That's pretty rough. I was (I think) close to the end... but I think a bit of practice should sort this out.
has to all be done in one go? No save points or anything?

You can farm hearts at the mini boss, and you can destroy the statues after the mini boss for a chance to get hearts. Having a life pot up to this section and make things significantly easier.

While this is technically true at the highest speed running level, for a first time player nemesis is a much easier weapon to have for that point in the game since odds are they're gonna take hits and struggle to keep the blade at level 2.
