Yelsraek, is there a chance to put coop for Arcade in Normal Beginning and Normal Floor 33? Prolly the main goal for coop still comes along by getting 1 CC and/or continuing.

Is there a specific reason for the 1CC requirement? Seems like it cuts down on the number of people wanting to run this game (myself included)

Ellimist, are you asking about Arcade in general or for Co-op specifically?

In general I suppose. I am a co-op player and the 1CC requirement definitely turns me away with my arcade friend, but I am sure its the same for various 1P runners too.

Magic Sword has always been known as a difficult game, so I believe the 1CC is meant to reflect that.

That being saidm 1CC really isn't that bad, especially if you know where the health items are.

Keep in mind that 1CC arcade begins with 3 health bars. MAME emulator starts you at 1 health bar so you'll want to increase this to 3 if you are playing on MAME. Reason being, the arcade version on Xbox starts with 3 health bars, and they have no way of changing it.

It feels great just finishing a 1CC run. I think you'll grow to love it.
