Cave Story gets a new story
Cave Story - New Story
When Pixel (Daisuke Amaya) created Cave Story, he intended it as a tribute to two classic favorites, Metroid and Castlevania. The influences of each retro game can be found in this 2004 freeware platformer that was created for the PC. Although it was an Indie game, it garnered a reasonable fan following, enough to make Nintendo sit up and take notice.
It was first brought to Nintendo’s WiiWare in 2010 with the help of an independent video game company, Nicalis. While it doesn’t quite look 8-bit in its original format, it is definitely retro and has what Pixel terms an old-fashioned feelĀ. Hoping to ride the games popularity, Nintendo revealed in February of 2011 that the archaic appeal of the game is going to be remastered.
A new, enhanced version of the game for Nintendo 3DS is on the slate. Read more about it at Gamasutra.
