NG+ info (obvious spoilers)

[Tetsuo9999]

- All items, levels and statue progress carry over. The game does scale the enemies up, but I had a much easier time leveling up Kunio in NG+ than I did on the first run because they also scale through story progress too.

- There are 25 collectible cats in NG+ that I (hopefully) assume have a better reward than the statues did.

- There is a secret shop that has two items worth $5000, so most of your NG+ income will be funneled into this provided you play with Kunio or Riki. Quest completion money is shared between all four characters, so affording one or both items at the end of the second run shouldn't be difficult. I've enclosed a video showing the location of the secret shop.

- Kunio's Up+Circle move is one of the most broken ones in the game, as it launches everyone (even bosses!) and OTGs as well. So far this has allowed me to bypass the annoying random blocking that the bosses do, and has made the game more fun as well. I recommend trying to level him up on NG+ if you haven't already.

Here's the video I mentioned.

Phew thanks, trying to upgrade Kunio in Loiter mode has been a nightmare.
