Yeah, but it definitely shares that element of "a lot of time spent doing just one thing." I have spent too much time on both the XBLA and PSP versions trying to beat just one particularly annoying level. But it's fun though, and the triumph makes it worth it, just like beating the final boss on a fighting game. Triumph over adversity!

I felt I was more "in control" of my fate with N+. The challenge was immense, but it ramped up appropriately and not out of nowhere. The more I think about it, Prinny's inflexible jumping mechanic may be primarily to blame here…

This game really is beyond brutal.. but it’s oh so sweet. (I answered yes to both questions without a second thought.)

Yeah, I don't see myself playing this game. 167 lives wasted on 3 minutes of gameplay? That's just…mean. There's a reason why stupid old-school challenge died off, it's because we no longer have to artificially lengthen our games by making them impossible to beat. But then again, it is fun to see those types of games every once in a while. I'd be reloading my save file A LOT if I wound up playing this one, though. On a similar note, did you enjoy N+?
