The vast world of the original game was rebuilt from the ground up with various tweaks made to the gameplay and presentation:* Visually the game now resembles 32-bit 2D games of PlayStation and Sega Saturn era; The soundtrack was rearranged with different instruments in tone with the new presentation; Many puzzles were altered to be more accessible and some were removed all together, while the difficulty of the actual gameplay was generally increased; The location of many items was modified; new rooms, enemies and items were added; New sub-bosses were added; many of earlier sub-bosses and all the Guardian bosses were significantly modified (both in terms of presentation and behaviour patterns); In-game software system was tweaked, all references to classic MSX games were removed); Many control issues and minor gameplay elements were corrected based on players' feedback.
This remake was first released on Nintendo's WiiWare service.
Due to the file-size limitations it didn't include the optional content - Hell Temple area and Time Attack mode, which were later available as additional download in Japan.
The later PC port includes this content within the base game.
The PS Vita version, called La-Mulana EX , features further improvements to the gameplay as well as new bestiary and rearrangement of several item placements.
About PlayStation 4
The PlayStation 4 (2013) cemented Sony's dominance of the eighth console generation, with a library exceeding 30,000 titles once indie and digital-only releases are counted. Most PS4 games remain affordable for collectors, but limited physical print runs — particularly from smaller publishers and later in the console's life cycle — are starting to see steady price increases as digital storefronts eventually wind down support.
Gamevaro tracks La-Mulana for PlayStation 4 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding La-Mulana to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS4 release dates back to 2012.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for La-Mulana, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation 4 titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
