Cave Story Review

Written by DG 

 

 Cave Story is a beautiful little genre blending RPG shooter that took Studio Pixel, a one-man show by Daisuke Amaya, five years to finish and polish. And what did Pixel do after devoting so much time to this game? Why, he gave it away for free. Since it's release, Cave Story has received fan translations and ports. If you are literate and own a computer, you can probably play Cave Story. Just recently however, in March, Cave Story was officially released on Wiiware in english for 1,200 Wii points ($12) (see fan translation/official version differences). Pixel however continues to endorse the circulation of the free PC version and all fan works.

If you didn't know that Cave Story Wii came out today, well, you should be ashamed of yourself. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. It's in english and costs 1,200 Wii points ($12). Before I go on, this is an article for people who played the original Cave Story already. I love Cave Story, and I couldn't possibly recomend it enough, but this is not a review of the game for newcomers. This article is only about the changes to the original in this new version. Grab your Polar Star, and let's get started.
