Moved Nintendo Hard to here from main tab.

* NintendoHard: The original ''LISA the Pointless'' was hard enough, this fan-made expansion takes it up to eleven. While there's tons of extra areas to explore, you aren't given that much extra items to keep your party alive, and a majority of the new enemies you fight have a generous amount of health that will take a while to defeat if you're not familiar with the ''Pointless''' formula. Additionally, some saving graces like the tree bearing infinite Rotten Fruit on Garbage Island, or the meat seller in Downtown Olathe have been nerfed to not give you as many free options for HP and SP recovery respectively. Not only that, but every item seller in the game has limited stock now, so the merchants will actually run out of stock and prevent you from buying any healing items in bulk.

** A minor example is the short conversation Alex has with Xerosik Courtly, the taser using jerseyhead in the Sweet Breeze Hotel if Alex decides to tell him the truth and say [[ViolationOfCommonSense that]] [[BrutalHonesty he's ugly]], which spares him.
--> '''Alex''':...Sorry, but you're actually pretty ugly.
--> '''Xerosik''': I knew it.
--> '''Xerosik''': Mom was lying to me the whole time.
--> '''Alex''': That just means she loved you in spite of your appearance.
--> '''Alex''': Sounds like you had a good mother.
--> '''Xerosik''': Y-yeah.

** [[spoiler:The Fishman Elder is a brutal combination of an EarlyBirdBoss (since he’s more often than not fought with barely any healing or revival items and not enough mags to buy more and at a point where Alex doesn’t have a weapon or Joel may be lacking in bottles to throw, hurting your offensive potential) and a WolfpackBoss (he’s accompanied by two other fishmen, with the parasol carrying one buffing his allies and the red eyed one scaring your party and knocking down party members)]]. All three targets are fairly sturdy, and the main boss has a [[ThatOneAttack very strong electrical attack that can hit dodging characters and strengthened by his flunky’s skills that will more often than not kill them instantly]]. Thankfully, the three are [[BonusBoss an optional encounter]], but if you want either a RegeneratingHealth stance for Alex or a stance that increases bottle power for Joel, prepare to suffer.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
** Wily Knight has a unique quote for all of his subordinate's deaths:
--> '''June the Goon''': "[[NauseaFuel Dismemberment is my fetish!]] There, I said it!"
--> '''Wily Knight''': "Oh, I knew it! Nasty bitch!"

--> '''Cecil Flairs''': "I ate coal as a kid."
--> '''Wily Knight''': "Maybe that's why you were so God damn ugly!"

--> '''Scooter Screwloose''': "[[NauseaFuel God, I am harder than concrete.]]"
--> '''Wily Knight''': "[[CrossesTheLineTwice You'll be real hard when the rigor mortis sets in!]]"

--> '''Ygor Melody''': "... [[TerseTalker Fin.]]"
--> '''Wily Knight''': "[[ElectiveMute So you COULD talk!]]"
** Even better, Wily also has a unique quote if you kill him first:
--> '''Wily Knight''': "This is all wrong! I'm the main character! I can't die!"
** One of the blood-lusted jerseyheads, Hank Abner, wields another franchiser as [[GrievousHarmWithABody a flail]]. Whenever Hank swings his "weapon", the poor guy [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl shrieks in horror.]]
*** If you defeat Hank without harming the other guy, he'll thank you for saving him and give you some items, while complaining about how crazy the Franchise is.
--> '''Basto Angel Jr.''': "Never knew just how bonkers those jersey guys were 'till I saw them up close."
--> '''Alex''': "If you didn't want to be around these guys, then why are you wearing a jersey too?"
--> '''Basto Angel Jr.''': "[[AchievementsInIgnorance Man, I just thought we were all gonna play some b-ball!]] I didn't sign up to join a murder cult!"
** One of the jerseyheads in the Sweet Breeze Hotel is named ''[[UnfortunateNames Seamus Gobshite]]''.
** One item you can come across is a mustache trimmer, which seemingly has no use. However, you later find out you can use it on The Kent.
--> '''The Kent''': Hey... that's my mustache trimmer! You bastard! Give it back!
-->''Alex uses the mustache trimmer, completely removing Kent's mustache.''
--> ''[[SuddenSoundtrackStop The music stops]]''
--> '''Bepe Stormer''': Uhhh...
--> '''The Kent''': You... You...! YOU CUT OFF MY FUCKING MUSTACHE!
--> '''Bepe Stomer''': [[TooDumbToLive Come on Kent, it's just a mustache.]] It will grow [[KilledMidSentence bac-]]
--> ''Kent kills him in one hit.''
--> '''The Kent''': [[UnstoppableRage YOU'VE JUST MADE THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF YOUR LIVES!]]
--> '''Derb Wesley Jr.''': Uh... [[ScrewThisImouttahere Maybe I'd better go...]]
** Around the mountain area, you'll find a bench, which you can use to rest, like the campfires in [[VideoGame/LisaThePainfulRPG Painful]]. One of the possible random events from sleeping there is waking up and finding a [[ImpersonatingAnOfficer franchiser dressed as a cop]], who fines you for "loitering". Alex gets so distraught over getting a fine that he suffers a stat decrease.

* BetterThanCanon: The game is arguably better than the original, due to adding a mountain of new content to the game and giving players a stronger reason than ever to explore the world of Olathe as Alex, due to featuring many new areas, enemies, and side content, even in the Endless Wastes, which was a relatively bare-bones area in the original, gets a huge amount of content in the form of a cave system that leads to multiple new areas, such as a the Twilight Plaza, the home of the Marauders who appeared in the first screen of Downtown Olathe, among other things.
