This makes me want this game so much more now. 

There are plenty of new rooms, but only two new fights. The reason for this is because I spent most of the time trying to get the shop and World Map to work, but I think I got everything working. Since adding in EXP n' shit would make this too complicated for its own good, I decided to make currency and EXP the same thing. Basically, you go to Brem's shop, and you can purchase a number of upgrades with the score you've racked up. Here are the items with the prices:

Sticky (2x damage): 2000 points

Announcement (3x damage): 4000 points

Banhammer (4x damage and not destroyed by projectiles): 6000 points

Double damage (Self explanatory): 8000 points

Safeguard shell (50% chance you'll take damage from projectiles): 4000 points

Invisibility shell (No more instant kill from enemy collision): 8000 points

Party upgrade x2 (Increases the attack of all party members by 1): 5000 points each

Hot Pocket (Restores health; repurchasable): 500 points

As for the new encounters, one of them respawns every time you re-enter the room, so you can point farm and get more items (If you're willing to waste your time doing that, of course). The other encounter is Tails Doll, who is going to be the hardest (Optional) boss in the game when it's finished (In future versions, I plan on his defeat unlocking him as the game's strongest summon, as well). You're probably not going to be able to defeat Tails Doll right now (Unless you somehow obtain all of the upgrades), as he has 1000 health.

Back in September, I had the pleasure of introducing a new face to the PlayStation Nation through our “It Only Does Everything” ad campaign for PlayStation 3. You’ve blown us away with an outpouring of positive feedback to the campaign and for Kevin Butler. In fact, the response was so great that we invited Kevin to E3 where he brought down the house. We also showed the first glimpse of a new campaign featuring Kevin’s new apprentice, Marcus Rivers, who wants to help spread the word about fact that the PSP and PSPgo are the only true solutions for those gamers who want to play the best, richest and deepest games on the go. Today I’m excited to share with you more of this new “Step Your Game Up” campaign, currently airing on over 19 networks as well as during several high-profile events.

The “Step Your Game Up” campaign is all about providing a deeper look into what makes a PlayStation Portable gaming experience more complete and enjoyable than anything else you’ll find on the market. This campaign introduces a new, younger voice to the PlayStation Nation, the fast-talking, quick-thinking, quasi self-appointed Marcus Rivers. By now you’ve probably seen the first ad in the series, “Step Your Game Up,” where Marcus officially steps up to the plate, giving Kevin Butler a run for his money as well as reason to offer him the job. Marcus makes it clear from the start he’s taking no prisoners — he’s a gamer looking for real games to play on the go.

We’ve always known the PSP is for gamers and gamers have high expectations when it comes to content. A skinny app just isn’t enough when you’re used to full-length franchises, exciting storylines, and great graphics. With PSP and PSPgo you can take your console experience with you anywhere with blockbuster titles like God of War: Ghost of Sparta, Patapon 3, SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo 3, Twisted Metal: Head On, ModNation Racers, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, MLB 10 The Show, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep (more), Madden NFL 11, Fat Princess and more. Not only can you enjoy a true in-depth gaming experience wherever you are, but with PSP you can also access your favorite movies, TV shows and music wherever you go. Moving forward, PSP fans can look forward to a series of ads that carry on the tradition created by Kevin Butler, showcasing the value and innovation behind PSP and PSPgo while inciting a few laughs along the way.

We gave you just a sneak peek of the new ads at E3 and can’t wait to share more with you over the course of the next several months. Keep an eye on the PlayStation.Blog as well as www.marcuspsp.com for more details on what’s to come. In the meantime, here’s another look at what we have in store for you — for more of the latest ads, head over to www.marcuspsp.com.
