I can't decide whether to get Cave Story or LostWinds 2, I was going to get Cave Story for sure, but I didn't think that LostWinds would be coming out so soon!

Of course if Earthbound comes out on Monday I will get that.

I never liked Lostwinds 1, but if you liked it, you might like lostwinds 2. I've never heard of cave story.

Well, if you absolutely cannot buy both but are interested in both, you can always play Cave Story free. I highly doubt Lost Winds 2 will be half as fun as Cave Story, however. Cave Story is amazing and can easily stand toe-to-toe with the greats of the NES era like Mario and Mega Man. So if you're like me and don't really care for playing games on your computer, Cave Story would still be a good purchase.

This. Although ideally, I'll get both when they come out.

@pie4prez: Oh, come on! I just thought it was very slow paced, and I lost interest fast.

After playing LostWinds for about an hour I think I'm prepare to confidently say.... Go with Cave Story... Don't get me wrong, LostWinds 2 is a good game but Cave Story is just plain better.

Care to elaborate? Is it at least better than the original?

Yes, it is better. Or atleast it has a more complete feeling to it. The new gameplay mechanics are neat too and gives the game another dimension. However, it's built on the exact same engine and all the things that might have frustrated you in the first game, it's gonna frustrate you in this one too. So nothing has really improved, they have just added new things to their old mix. Personally, I'd rank Icarian/NyxQuest quite a bit above LostWinds 2 too and Cave Story is better than Icarian aswell.

Or if I put it this way... LostWinds 2 is the SNES version of Aladdin which is a good platformer, no doubt about that. It's just that Cave Story is Super Mario World...

LostWinds 2 is bigger (more levels, more unlockables), better (better gameplay, better challenges)... but maybe it lost the soul. In the other hand, Cave Story on PC is a absolute gem. My vote goes to Cave Story.

Cave Story is a work of art. Lost Winds is a great game. Your choice.
