Reloading a saved game no longer restores your health.
The PC port includes the Hell Temple and Time Attack DLC for free, slightly modified.Due to WiiWare file-size limitations the Hell Temple is now only available as Downloadable Content.The layout of the ruins and distribution of items, traps, and enemies have been modified and a number of new rooms, items, and enemies have been added.Encounters with Sub-Bosses and Guardians have been modified to in many cases be considerably more difficult than they were in the PC version. Traps in the ruins deal a dramatically higher amount of damage to the player and the number of instant-death events has been increased. Conversely the difficulty of the gameplay has been increased to compensate for the above.Some puzzles have been removed altogether and replaced with new rooms and/or puzzles. In the spirit of making the game more approachable to modern players the difficulty and complexity of some of the original puzzles have been decreased.In their words, "We are trying to make changes in areas where it's more trouble than fun."
The overall difficulty of the WiiWare version has according to the developers been "decreased" from the original game, however this more applies to specific elements of the original game that might have been intentionally obtuse or unfair such as to emulate the style and difficulty of the classic video games that La-Mulana was modeled after.The MSX has been renamed the Mobile Super X and all references to MSX games have been replaced with references to original games created by NIGORO. All references to the MSX Home Computer and its software have been removed, possibly due to copyright-related issues that neither Nicalis nor NIGORO would be interested in facing.The developers have stated that the music in the WiiWare remake is based on the MIDI versions rather than the SSCCÂ versions of the original soundtrack. The game's audio too has been redone to match the fidelity of the visuals.Although the base gameplay is largely identical to the freeware PC version of La-Mulana the graphics have been enhanced from an 8-bit imitation MSX-style to an appearance and color-depth that more closely resembles 2D 32-bit games of the mid-1990s, such as what might appear on the Sega Saturn or Sony PlayStation.
