Well, the normal games sorta have to exist or there would be no new characters for StB-style games. Unless ZUN just based it on the PC-98 cast but that's never gonna happen.
Aside that I was obviously not entirely serious:
The rule that StB can only include "new" characters is a bit arbitrary (and has been broken, would you call Reimu, Marisa or Suika 'new' from DS's perspective?). Why not include old ones if he has an idea for Medicines (annoying) poison or for coins, giant fists, dolls,
just wants to use that sprite again whatnot? Given he has ideas, there are just so many ways to make the player circle around the boss until all the pictures are taken...
Might as well reword my statement: eagerly awaiting the next one, whenever it pops up.
Actually more rage at myself than an accomplishment... well both, I guess, but since I'm already posting in here: gah Kinkaku-ji, I wanted to try just once. Yet I make it to the last phase on the first try tonight and died via running into the first bullet I could find; I was so surprised to be still alive that I had to end it myself if Kaguya doesn't feel like it. Yeah, I'll go with that, satisfying excuse. At least I had the initiative, that's my accomplishment! *sigh*
Obviously all the magic was gone when I tried again. Someday...
