I didn't even use Missles that much in Cave Story...

Heck my favorite weapon was the Bubble gun.

I rarely ever used them until the twin-dragon boss. Then I really learned to appreciate them.

Missiles: For when you absolutely need to kill things dead.

Really, when fighting a boss in any given action game, my strategy is pretty much a combination of "attack the weak point" and "FIRE EVERYTHING".  Abusing invincibility frames from taking damage also helps.

 The problem with missiles is how much they obscure the screen. You can guarantee that when you fire everything in a second the screen directly in front of Quote is gonna be hidden from you for a good two seconds.

 Enemy projectile heading towards you? You won't even know you were hit because of all the smoke.

But for those 10 seconds, you'll appreciate the sheer amount of death you have just unleashed.

I played hard mode all the way up to the 'good' ending, though couldn't beat it, so I had to switch to the normal difficulty and play through again.

One of the puppies you rescued starts talking to you and gives you a health bonus. Hes in the 'farm' area, right under the gauntlet of those crushing things that you get past by using some sort of jet booster thing. Honestly, I don't remember half the vocabulary for the game, but you should get the idea. Did I mention he starts talking?

He's supposed to give you a life pot if you used the one you got earlier, but since Life pots aren't very useful in hard mode you probably didn't use it. If you kept it for all that time you get a life extension instead.

I suppose they forgot to fix that.

The Wii and DS versions get that too...

[Sowelu]

That's nice?  I don't have either of those systems (and many others here don't), so this is all very new to me.

Unless I missed some posts about those features earlier in this thread last year :/

It is supposed to put in the dialogue that you were assumed to be saying to Curly. Yes, you are not actually mute.

Still pretty jarring. Like what if your playing The Legend of Link one day, slashing pots as Zelda, then you get to Link and HE TALKS BACK.

Wait, never mind. That's not an entirely great example.

Why is that spoilered? xD

Anyways, I am pretty sure the Desura version is not the one with the extra features, unless something changed since last month or so.
