So I submitted a 2 player run under NG but I had the AK unlocked for some reason. I deleted the save files and everything, as well as de-syncing the game from the steam cloud. My friend deleted the save files and it worked for him, but for some reason I couldn't get a fresh save on my computer. I know what NG and NG+ means but I was trying to run the NG category with my friend. Would it still count as NG even though I have the AK unlocked or would it technically be NG+?

I checked the video in rob's thread post but that site just leads to viruses being installed onto my PC. Is there another way to get it ported to my PC? I have the wii version, but using the wii remote is very difficult and would rather use the PC.

I know that there's an American and a Japanese version, I was wondering if there is a difference between in speed between both versions. I want to get into speedrunning this but I need the faster game.
