Something about Cave Story and a prinny

[Johan_H]

No idea what's going on but I'm guessing it may turn out to be relevant to the interests of some people here.

[odditude]

perhaps an announcement from NIS that they're going to publish Cave Story on PSN?

[grinvader]

this better be better than that, dood

[odditude]

given that it was just published on WiiWare, it wouldn't surprise me.

...are we going to see a prinny brace next?

[Johan_H]

Didn't see this one coming.

Yet another reason to want 3DS.
Boxed retail copy? Pixel talking about a sequel? Sweet!

In related news, his new game looks like it will probably be fun too.

This looks... bad.
Low-res polygons is almost always a poor aesthetic decision. And this is the kind of blatantly gimmicky use of 3D that gives the feature a bad reputation. Simple depth on parallax layers would be a better use, IMNSHO.

Only plus is the potential that the game card can include the original as a bonus feature.

I agree. Phenomenal gameplay aside, Cave Story's most memorable features are its neo-retro visuals and music. They create a very distinctive style, and really add to the feel of the game. Swapping the old-school blocky look for bad 2.5D cannot end well.

[diminish]

Yes, thanks that I could replay it in English a few days ago!

[Johan_H]

OK, bumptime.
Might get this since it'll be out on a platform available to me this time. And hopefully it's not terrible and broken and unfinished as I hear the Wii version was.

[sweener2001]

your information about the wii version is old. it was updated and just about every issue was fixed, and then some.

this mac version will bring those changes to the table along the mac specific extras.

[odditude]

only problem i had with the wii version is the wiimote sucks. classic controller ftw.

[kode54]

Cave Story+ doesn't detect my joypad. :[

Oh, and the new music is provided as 64kbps Ogg Vorbis files.

[Rashidi]

must be low budget stuff or something ...
