I honestly can’t say much more than that without spoiling the experience. It’s amazingly in depth for what is essentially an indie title, and one of the most welcome surprises in the entire package. Through your interactions with them and short cutscenes involving other characters stuck in the same cave as you, you begin to unravel what’s going on around you as well who you are in the first place. As you explore, collecting weapons and items along the way, you meet with creatures known as Mimiga that call the cave home. Mystery is the name of the game with Cave Story‘s plot, and it’s for that reason that it works so well. And you don’t even know your character’s name or even why you were randomly in said cave.

However, on a handheld already so packed with ports and remakes, was this really the right move, or has there been enough improvements to justify a full retail purchase? Now, NISA has picked up the publishing rights to bring Cave Story to the 3DS. It’s the kind of result every indie developer strives for, and it’s downright impressive to see the kinds of doors this side project of Pixel’s was able to open for him.

From there, the game was then ported to DSiWare and the Mac OS, though there is a Steam version in the works for later this year. Soon after, a company by the name of Nicalis offered to aid Pixel in bringing the game to the WiiWare service. It was released as a freeware indie title over the internet and gained an immense following, even earning itself an English language patch. The game was developed by Daisuke Amaya, also known as Pixel, over the course of five years. If you’ve never heard of the game yourself, it has a very interesting backstory to it. I’m not against stepping outside my bubble and trying new things that look interesting it’s just that there are so many really good games out there that are being released at an alarming rate, and it’s simply just too hard to keep up. Cave Story was another classic tale of “I’ve heard good things, but I’m playing something else right now,” which you’ll find is a common theme in much of my writing.
