Cave Story is a brilliant game, and it will still be a brilliant game when it arrives as a retail title on Nintendo Switch as Cave Story+. It was arguably a trendsetter, and will go down in the annals as one of the best 'early' Indie games.

It must be really good because we sure are tempted to buy it again, which is something we've said a few times over the years. At $30USD it'll offer HD visuals, multiple modes and some new weapons / content. Now it's been confirmed it'll also support local co-op on Switch, with more details promised along with a neat GIF.

Sadly there's no loyalty card bonus for Cave Story, so it's not a case of buy 5 and get the 6th free. Oh well, we'll buy it anyway...
