Is the Word of the Living/Dead transition inspired from the holiday Dia de los Muertos?
Also love the Skeleton Charro.
Wish I had PS3/Vita/Money for this :c

It's more related to Flamenco than bullfighting really (at least originally), so yeah I'd agree it definitely is more of a Spanish thing.
It'll be on Steam at some point. (Once word got out, the listing was changed to one of the generic ValveTestApp flavour.)
And that is why I said in my follow up post that there is a subtle difference in context and pronunciation, even the way you write it (in Mexico it is "ole" vs "olé" in Spain and Argentina for example). And yes, while the expression is used in many ways (it is meant as praise, an Arabic expression phonetically related to saying Allah), it is still mainly related and original to Flamenco. Bullfighting in Mexico still has very Spanish ties too. Believe me, I know, I live 20 minutes away from the bullfighting ring you are mentioning and my grandparents are Spanish as well
Edit: I'm turning into one of those guys I hate (the ones who talk about other things instead of the game in OTs) so I'll leave it at that.
I have no idea what this means (or what it is), but I wonder if the inspiration comes from the Prime games? Considering Metroid is the main inspiration for the style of the game it seems sensible that they'd take some of the aspects from Prime as well.
Ask them on Twitter, I'm sure they'll answer.

Mexicovania?
I'm not liking how that rolls off the tongue. Luchavania sounds a bit more fitting I think but that's just me.
Anyway, this game flew completely under my radar so thanks so much OP for bringing it to my attention with the great OT!

buying it now ;0
There's a bunch of references to other games and internet memes.So are there a bunch of subtle and not-so-subtle Toronto and/or Canada references in this game like Mutant Blobs? Or do they strictly abide the Mexican theme?

What does it mean if I buy two copies?

Had no idea this was reviewing so well. Might buy it.
Man. I wish you hadn't posted that last one. I'd have lost my shit if I just stumbled upon it in the game.
Watched the Quick Look... it's kinda weird how the co-op seems REALLY tacked on. Like, some of the platforming puzzles look downright annoying, even almost broken with two players. I'm going to be playing solo so it's no real bother for me, but yeah...
everything else looks great so far

Memes and video game references everywhere
It's like i'm playing TF2 again

Played this game a bit at PAX and talked to one of the devs, hyped to buy it. The PS+ discount just keeps paying off sale price on a first day release is an interesting move.
EU stores don't update til early tomorrow afternoon
How sad. It could be worse, I guess.
Wait, the store hasn't updated? I thought it updated in the morning. Well, that would be my problem, haha.
I dunno... All I know if that I can't find the game.

Random time between now and tomorrow GCT (Grace Chen Time).
Must have confused it with Steam or one of the hundred other digital stores. When does stuff usually go up on PSN?
Wait is it out?

I may have to pick this up. Definitely interesting, even though I've been a more 360 person than PS3 as of late.

So hyped. Kinda went radio silent until today for this game.
I was born ready for this.

Thanks!
I appreciate that! I scrolled by earlier, but kind of glanced at the shots, and didn't really look at what they were, so it's all good!

Well, I'll just wait on the PC version, then. Unless of course it becomes a PS+ freebie at some point.
