This is why hot-blooded characters are no good...

yup....the squadrons hates him because of his attitude ...

Actually, that is semi correct, but Google translate has it like that, supposedly a word conjuncture with Ebisu+Hoshi.

Anyways, there will be more stages to come out soon. As these EX stages seems to test your skill within the difficulties associated.

@NeoStrayCat Thanks. To say my Japanese is not very good would be giving me a ton of credit, so I just went with the translation I was given :)

Yeah, I had a feeling there would be a good number of EX stages (I heard 8 somewhere). These are a lot of fun though, and way more difficult than the non-EX stages, loop number being equal.

[NeoStrayCat]

@Korszca Exactly, Gamestone forums already hinted that, lol.

@NeoStrayCat I checked out the thread there just now (I never heard of Gamestone before you just mentioned it) and I'm sure I got the info on there being 8 EX Stages second or third hand via that thread.

BTW (and this is pure conjecture) I think they used Yae as the boss because she is in many ways the real leader of the Goemon team. She also has the ability to turn into a mermaid, an ever-common boss in Parodius and even in the first Otomedius (as you already know).

@Korszca I see, well, welcome to the forum there, and we'll see what surprises are in store for the other stages soon.

I need to get this, this looks like a blast. :)

[Korszca]

@MightySquirrel Yeah, these EX stages add a nice bit of difficulty to them and are really very fun to play.
