– The EASY MODE can now be activated at any time without having to lose 2 lives in a phase.
– After you have beaten the boss you can now enter any single Rainbow Run or Boss phase.
– New info screen during sequences recommends use of headphones and informs about how to skip the sequence.

Bernd+ from BplusGames also gave some additional details about the new Bonus Level: Round Hill. In this one, you need to revive all the Pixel Flies in order to reach the portal. However, you need to unlock the Item Blocks first.

To download this update, you have two options:

– select BitBoy!! Arcade from the Nintendo 3DS Home Menu, while being connected to the internet. You should get a prompt, asking you whether you want to download the update;
– go to the Nintendo eShop > Other / Settings, and check for updates.

Elliot Quest – Ver. 1.2.2

Last week, Elliot Quest also got another Software update. What’s new in this version 1.2.2? Nothing, but several bugs reported by the community have been fixed. One of them involves the coloured switches, and another the graveyard (players could get stuck there after beating the Phantom boss).

To download this update, you have two options:

– do nothing and let the console do its thing if you’ve activated the automatic downloads;
– select the game from the Home Menu (not the Quick Start menu!).

To check that you have the latest version, simply launch the game. You should see this:
