For someone like me that’s a handheld gamer first and a console gamer second. What version of Cave Story is best for you largely depends upon the way you game. The eShop version of Cave Story+ will be identical to the DSiWare version of Cave Story that many are familiar with, but it has improved resolution built for the 3DS, the stereoscopic 3D that fans of the system love, and levels and features from the WiiWare version of the game, as well as those of… Cave Story+ (Steam) So, that’s $9.99 that handheld enthusiasts will have to shell out, same as what the DSiWare version is currently listed at (but not for long!).
#3D CAVE STORY SOUNDTRACK UPDATE#
The update won’t stop you from playing the prior version of the game.”Īlso: “It can’t do the Steam version’s art or music, the former because of resolution, the latter because the file size would get massive.” I fought really hard to try to get it to be just a ‘simple’ update I feel that Nintendo wanted the same thing too, but the logistics behind it are pretty huge. The good thing is that if you already bought the DSiWare version on your 3DS and ever delete it, you’ll still be able to download it. Instead of talking about this version of the game at length, I’ll offer a bit of news that makes me sad: I should just skip right on passed this version of the game because Cave Story+ that’s about to hit the eShop will render it inferior (so much so that the DSiWare Cave Story is probably going to be removed from the eShop itself, leaving only DSi owners / early adopters that have migrated to 3DS to experience this version of the game). And, of course, resolution is scaled down to fit the DSi. It’s the PC version with a revamped interface to suit two screens, as well as a Jukebox to freely listen to the game’s (original, unaltered) jammin’ tunes. By Jonathan Higgins / September 29th, 2012
