If you happen to have a PlayStation Vita and haven’t picked up La-Mulana EX yet, you’re missing out on a few things:
- Your character dying while getting attacked from all sides by cheap enemies.
- Your character dying during a boss fight with something over ten times your his size.
- Your character dying after you missed a pinpoint jump because you panicked and jumped again to certain doom (oops!).
- Your character dying because you’re really not that good at these retro action/platform games but keep playing them anyway.
Get the picture? Okay, I’m only partially kidding. This game is hard as heck AND I’m not as fast on those buttons as I used to be. Pygmy Studios’ handheld port of this excellent throwback to the MSX days is out now and I have a spare code to give away. If you want it, just post in the comments below and I’ll RANDOMLY pick ONE winner. You need a Vita as well as access to the North American PSN shop, as that’s where the code needs to be redeemed. I guess that’s US and Canada entries only. Unless there’s a secret Canadian PSN shop I don’t know about. Let’s see now… it’s Wednesday, correct? Let’s shoot for a contest close of 11:59PM on Friday. I’ll pick one of you guys or gals at random and shoot you over your code. Get it? Got it? GOOD> Now, go enter already! No need to post an essay or reason you want to win at all, folks. Just an “I’m in!” gets you a chance. Good Luck!

La Mulana Ex sounds fantastically evil to me, man! I’d give it a go!

I think I’ll need to brush up on my foreign language skills, but I’m pretty sure it means “The Mulana” in Spanish. Count me in!

Amusingly enough, the game has a couple of language selections (English, Japanese, Spanish, German, French, Russian), but I’m sure La-Mulana means “your ass is kicked” because the game can be pretty difficult 😀 You’re in!

YES! I want this so very badly! I’ve been trying to find someone wanting a Borderlands 2 code (Vita) willing to trade for the PSN credit, but no luck thus far. I’m in!

Hmm. I’m surprised you still have that Borderlands 2 code. It’s not as if it’s a bad game at all…

Oh, no – I quite enjoy the Vita port of BL2! I actually purchased it upon release last year, however I recently made the change to a Vita slim and received an additional code for the game in the bundle!

Well, if I’m still awake, I’ll get to it and run a post after midnight. I’ve already put names on strips of paper and tossed them into a big box, so all I need to do is reach in and pick one. Hopefully I can stay awake that long, lol. It’s be a hell of a tiring week here… 😀
