Cave Story 3D Coming August 9th

Alright! 3rd buy of a free game locked in!

Also, that box art is incredible!

There are officially too many games coming out this summer for my wallet to handle.

ballkirby speaks the truth..
(although for me this isn't one of them.)

@4 agree.
I think, they were better off, making this game cel-shade.

I'm excited about this. And I think the box art is average, not terrible and not amazing like the european LoZ:OoT box art.

Has...there even been a trailer yet? o_O

I think I'll buy this as soon as it's out even though I don't have a 3DS.

Nothing better than a remake of a remake of a free game. And the 3DS continues to live up to it's great fame of remakes.

That box art is... fugly. :/
_{how on earth can you make Curly ugly, I mean srsly!}

What, Europe doesn't have to wait a year this time? O_O

Lol, well, maybe I overstated the box art. I still think it's pretty good, could be worse, but I do agree with pix on Curly. What the heck happened to her? XD

@AlexSays: Yeah, yeah, we get it. You've said the same thing on every other comment thread about a remake game.

Cant wait!

Thank God. This give my wallet some time to recover!

A remake. I love remakes.

Please make more. I like seeing people annoyed for petty reasons.

Then comes the possibility of a Cave Story sequel

Srsly, like what happened to this gal? This new art looks... ugh. No likey.

Whooo! Looking good! It can't come soon enough. Cave Story... <3<3<3

"We'll keep you posted on any new developments with the game and we'll have a full review for you when the game releases in August."

When it releases in August? This is Cave Story we're talking about here. Surely there will be at least one delay.

^ He means August 2013, d'oh.

Would I like to have Cave Story 2? Very much so.

Am I happy to have a definitive, retail version of this game? Very much so.

Call me crazy if you like; I've called myself worse. Bring on CS3D~

It could just be me, but I would rather have more games than my wallet can handle, then sitting around waiting for somthing id really like to play to come aorund. Of course I trade in games to get new ones also.

im not to concerned about box art ill be getting this though ive never played this from what ive heard its a classic

wait now it's a 40 dollar full retail title..?

I mean...it's a good game...but come on It's like 3 hours...

I really don't care about the price. I've skipped getting it twice, so I think third time the charm.

Before you all jump to the conclusion, that this is going to be the definite version of cave story and settle with possibly paying 40 bucks for this remake, take a break and head over to IGN's screenshot section of the game:

http://ds.ign.com/dor/objects/100256/cave-story-3d/images/cave-story-3d-20110428012355709.html

I do neither know from when those wip screenshots are (IGN posted them yesterday), nor how far the game has progressed from there. Now, if these were pre-alpha shots of a running prototype, that might be ok, because although they look hideous now, that would mean they had enough room for improvement. The trouble is the release date.

I don't think there is even room to argue, that this is not actually what we would expect from a full price remake of Cave Story. It's also not even near what their concept art of the levels looks like in terms of atmosphere. At this point, I'm not completely faithful, that Nicalis can turn this into a quality remake before the release, even with the delay.

Here is hoping they don't this up. But with the release rather close and their track record of taking ages for bringing Cave Story to WiiWare (and even that was bugged), I'm doubtful at the very best.

Unless they push this to the end of the year or possibly beyond, we're probably in for a massive disappointment.

Will i cave in to it ? I don't really know yet. The normal price i pay for graphical remakes is 15 € so i don't think i'll invest much more on this game.

PS: It would be interesting to know if this release contains a version with the original PC or DSiWare graphics _{and sound} too.

Meh. Retro graphics suit this game better, I think the 3ds visuals look square-ish.

The environments looks okay but the character models look pretty bad.

@14
LOL, yeah remakes are fun and it's funny how much it annoys people (looking at you Alexsays).

Anything that gets even MORE to notice a great game is fine by me. It sure beats having "Petz this version" and "Imagine that version"

so many games coming out, my wallet will not like it. my wife neither. i will need to make a list and buy the titles now and then... but why making them 40- 45$ ?????? make them 30-35 and ill buy 2 instead of 1 !

The boxart is HILARIOUSLY BAD. That doesn't matter to me though, one of my favorite games ib eing released and it's published by one of my favorite publishers!
secret Disgaea character boss fight, anyone?

Maybe the box art is "bringing us back to the past" when all the NES boxes had terrible covers?

Anyways, I can't wait for this!

I have a bad feeling about this... hope it turns out well

YES! Can't wait!

Pretty rad.

Please make more. I like seeing people annoyed for petty reasons.

Why would it annoy me that you like playing the same games over and over and over?
I couldn't care less. I have other gaming devices that I use much more frequently than anything Nintendo because they're regularly supported by NEW games.

And I don't even have time for those! Heck, if you Nintendo guys ever get a new game that is actually decent, I'll have even less time!

I'm really not digging the boxart. Its too anime-ish, and doesn't seem to do the original characters justice. And I don't know how in the world they can justify paying $40 if the only updates are the graphics, sound, and a slight expansion of the world. While it is indeed a great game, it only lasted about 8 hours for me on my first playthrough, and there's NO WAY you can justify $40 with only 8 hours of gameplay.

I'm pretty excited about this game; I never got to play either the WiiWare or DSiWare one

Actually, this already is a delay, isn't it?

Box art is meh, hope it doesn't represent the graphical quality of the rest of the game. Much more excited about SAGA for obvious reasons, but this still has the potential to be amazing as well.

ohh yeah ....cave story..bring it all back!
