VVVVVV lands in the 3DS eShop across North America next week for $7.99.
Terry Cavanagh's retro-styled action platformer lands on the service courtesy of Cave Story publisher Nicalis, and arrives with its original stages, music and art style all intact.
Nicalis also promises "future content updates" — could this be the first 3DS download to support DLC?
VVVVVV is out in North America on 29th December for $7.99.

Hmmmm. I love this game and all, but will it have enough new content to warrant another $8 purchase?
I thought this was going to be an Early 2012 release? Oh, well the more releases the better.
Got the soundtrack in a Indie bundle and it was great. Def going to pick this one up after I get a new SD card.
Wow, only $8? This is the cheapest game Nicalis has ever published on a Nintendo platform, no? Provided I get an eShop card for Christmas or my birthday, I'm definitely picking this up as a late Birthday present for myself.
Also just noticed how much eshop content i've bought or gotten.
Nice! Seeing NoA make the effort to communicate dates in advance is awesome.
Not sure if I'm buying after picking up VVVVVV in the recent Indie Humble Bundle, but looks like a great game. Maybe trying the PC version will convince me to buy here also?
Way overpriced considering it's available on PC for much less, but who cares, VVVVVV is easily one of the best platformers ever made.
I better get two Eshop cards for Christmas...
From the looks of the game, $8 seems pretty steep. Maybe they could win me over with a demo.
"could this be the first 3DS download to support DLC?"
Isn't that Zen Pinball?
Can get this on steam for...$1.24 (though temporarily, regular price is $4.99)
xDDDDDDD
But hey if the 3D effect is great and there is new content worth checking out. Just....eh...maybe.
Never played it before, so I'm definately checking this one out.
Next week, portable VVVVVV, for $8?
Consider me sold.
And again, Nintendos rigid pricing scheme is going to cost them sales.
I'd get this for maybe $4, $8? Nah. For one thing, every computer in existance should be able to play the PC version which is dirt cheap right now, 3DS seriously needs game prices to be changeable by the game creators and not stuck as nintendo decides forever.
First thing that came to my mind when I saw the screenshot

At that price they only MIGHT include a level editor?
YES! Can't wait! Too bad I only have $8.05 in my eShop account. Dang, so close! Need a new point card.
I don't care if it's 8 bucks and I already have it free thanks to zez I'm still getting it. D:
8 bucks? to much for me. i already own thin on the computer, i was thinking 5 bucks tops. I don't even like it that much. I might get it if the content updates are any good though.
VVVVVVery expensive ? Well, while the pricing seems strange considering the other original eShop content i hope it has something to do with free DLC later. Would make buying that much easier if it comes to Europe.
uhhh!!! VVVVVV 8 Dollars!! uhhh i better two ehop cards then, and yeah if you're wondering people if i've gotten Mighty Switch Force Yet?, No, I Haven't, Because I Spent The Eshop Card Money On Two Dsiware Games, uhhh again because i got the eshop card on my birthday which was december 6th and i was saving up for pushmo, did i get it?, well, yeah i did, but i felt like i should've saved up a bit more!!, uhhh C'mon Christmas
Why no WiiWare port as well?
VVVVV-Very Expensive!
Future content updates... Reminds me of the Mac App Store and Steam :3
Applause
Even though I think VVVVVV is excellent and I encourage everyone to try it, I can't see anyone buying it for 7.99 $.
Just get it on steam.
Wow, that's kind of expensive. I'm not too familiar with this game, though.
It's a good game, but it's definitely not worth $8 when it's available much cheaper elsewhere. Pass.
Screw you all. Insta-buy.
I want this. But $8? Mayyyybe.
I recently got it off Steam... for free.
8 bucks? No problem. I'll get what I paid for! It's a nice, improved version, and will still improve! It seems pretty fair. It seems to fit in the $7.99 section well, I say.
8 dollars? Seriously? No thanks, I'll pass. I want this but that is way overpriced.
However, I might reconsider it depending on the review and impressions.
Wait, so this IS in 3D, right? If it is, then that will be $8 well spent.
Seems to me that "retro" in this game is just an excuse for bad graphics... Retro City Rampage is a good example of retro, maybe this game is just "antique"?
Prolly wont get it I just got the humble bundle pack, and this game was in it :3
This game is awesome and easily worth $8 in a vacuum, but ... c'mon, I bought it on Steam for $2.50. :/ I think I've been spoiled...
I just watched a gameplay video of this and I must say, wow. It looks very interesting and I think that if it's not too expensive I might go for it. (I live in Europe though, so).
no but I will get Cave Story DSiWare soon, I want a not 3D portable version of Cave Story
Just got it off of Steam for less than $2 so I'll pass on the 3DS version for now.
Whatever happened to Ikachan being released on DSiWare?
looking forward to this
A bit pricy. . . . I'm glad I got the Humble Indie Bundle 3, so I won't be getting this. (I just finished it a few weeks ago)
Eight dollars?!?!
Maybe... maybe not.
Another one of those who got it off Steam...
Screw the price, because I'm still buying it!
im rich so i can afford dis mess
