Requesting: eshop Cave Story, Hard Mode at the final boss with machine gun
Here is my tale of woe and sorrow:
My ex has my 3DS (you know where this is going). About a year ago, I broke it off with her because I had to move to another city for my job (among other reasons...), but I didn't want to be a total jerkface, so I thought I'd be a gentlemen and let her BORROW my 3DS so she could enjoy Tomodachi Life (it was around xmas time and she really loves that game). I said, "yeah, you can enjoy it for a little while, and I'll ask for it back when Majora's Mask comes out.
". Well, about 4 months went by, and I decided to text her and see when I might be able to get my 3DS back. No response. Eventually, I got into weekly routine of calling her house, asking her parents to pass on the message about my 3DS, etc. After 2 months of that joy, she FINALLY texts me back stating that I will have to go to her house (7 hours away) and pick it up, "if you really want it that badly". I say sure. When can I come by and pick it up? No response again. I even offer to pay for FedEx to pick up the 3DS and ship it to my address. At this point I'm just desperate to get it back.
Well, after 2 more months of texting a brick wall, I decide to take matters into my own hands. You see, Cave Story is the one game that I had downloaded onto that ill-fated 3DS, meaning I can't recover the save file without the 3DS. And you can take a wild guess as to where I was in the game. Yep, the final freaking boss(es) (with the purple chick, then the crazy doctor, and then that giant seed thing that is impossible to kill). I made it to the final boss.....ON HARD MODE. This means I beat 99% of the game with only 3 hearts (first playthrough).
You pretty much have to get through each area and boss without getting hurt once. Everything is an insta-kill.
I tried so hard, and got so far, but in the end MY EX HAS MY ******* 3DS!!!!!
Anyways.....I bought a random 4.5 firmware 3DS on ebay, bought the gateway flash cart and all that jazz. My 3DS is setup to play roms; I'm all ready to go....except for the save file...
Has any other human being on this planet been insane enough to play Cave Story 3DS on hard mode?!?!?
And if so, do they have a save right before the final boss that they are willing to share with a foolish gentlesir of the internet? Hell, I'd take 50% completion at this point (as long as it's passed Monster X.....never again).
