Thinking of getting this. I love 16bit games (I love 8 bit games as well but my patience for them has grown less over time).
For someone who grew up playing games in that era is this something that is a no brainer? I have been playing the Shantae game and Switch and it feels empty. I assume by praise that the gameplay is far better designed on this correct?
I like them both, but Shantae and Cave Story are two different animals. Cave Story is absolutely a no brainer if you haven't played it before. It's much more Metroid-esque.Thinking of getting this. I love 16bit games (I love 8 bit games as well but my patience for them has grown less over time).

Cave Story is easily superior. Its looks is much more consistent (And better, too), the music rules, and yes, it's so much better designed than any Shantae. Really satisfying gameplay, and it's fun to replay too. It's a real treat and in my top 3 favorite games. I can't recommend it enough.Thinking of getting this.

Cave story is only about a 5 hour game but trust me you'll want to beat it more then onceSo should I get Cave Story or Axiom Verge ?
Either have more replay value or better overall ?

Based on the awesome buzz here I decided to preorder this game and am looking forward to starting my first play through tomorrow. I also really like the manual and box art.
So, anyone who got this at Gamestop, what character keychain did you get? I was kinda hoping to get Balrog, but got Curly. Which is fine I suppose.
I'm really happy to see people new to CS purchasing this new version of it; you won't be disappointed, it's truly excellent, and this will be the best version of it easily! The graphics are so crisp and having it both on the go and in HD is so damn good.Based on the awesome buzz here I decided to preorder this game and am looking forward to starting my first play through tomorrow.

I got Balrog.
The instruction book is AWESOME. Has some great art. I appreciated the spoiler warning as well, lol.
I didn't even realize this was out. GS is the worst, hate that they have an exclusive edition on this. Didn't get a call or text.So, anyone who got this at Gamestop, what character keychain did you get? I was kinda hoping to get Balrog, but got Curly. Which is fine I suppose.

Don't quote me on this but I wouldn't be surprised if all first print copies have it.
I picked up my copy from a mom and pop import store in NYC.
Fucking Amazon.com screwed me again with a game delivery. First the Switch got delayed on me even though I ordered the damn thing within minutes of it being available on their website. Then Zelda BOTW also got delayed on me. Now I was supposed to receive Cave Story today and at 8am this morning I get an undeliverable as addressed notice from both the USPS and Amazon. They have the exact right address that they use all the time to send me shit. The order says it will be delayed but it is still showing an 8pm arrival for tonight. I did the chat option with customer service and he said he notified the carrier for redelivery and I will definitely get it tonight lol. I was like the package was 120 miles away when that Post office said it was undeliverable as addressed and was being returned to Amazon. How the hell is it possible it will be here in a few hours now especially when the post office hasn't updated what they did with the package yet. He gave me a link to the post offices redelivery form lol. So pissed off, I am a fool for thinking the first 2 problems I had were flukes. I am now going to use Best Buy exclusively.

Keychain sounds nice but I've blacklisted GameStop due to their practices so I picked up my copy at Target today.
I did, thanks for asking. No drama in the store. I'll only go there if there's no alternative, and Cave Story is a game I'll spend as much money as possible on forever.Damn... I'm sorry to hear about that. Were you able to still get your copy?
I can totally understand and respect that. The way treat their employees and customers is pretty shitty. Can't say they are my favorite company, but Cave Story is one of my all time favorite indies, and they had the thing I wanted.
I get that it was a freeware PC game once, but Pixel wasn't a game developer in those days. He deserves compensation for his art, and a lot of love went into this edition.Really wanna play this but $30 seems really steep.

I got Balrog, which was the one I wanted!That's good to hear! Which character key chain did you end up getting? And I totally agree that this edition totally warranted the purchase. Just enough new stuff, goodies and having the physical copy is nice.
Yeah, that's the only thing holding me back, especially since I can get it cheaper elsewhereReally wanna play this but $30 seems really steep.

Obviously your home address confuses the postal services. You should move
I'm just gonna say, Nicalis has got me good. After Isaac and now this, if their other physical releases are anything as good as this I'm buying them all. SO glad Blade Strangers is getting one!
I died the same frame as the final boss, there was no health bar left, you should've died
Oh I agree. My point is simply that the game is worth money, and this edition doubly-so. A beautiful instruction book (which shouldn't be an extra but sadly is these days), a soundtrack mini-CD, a nice keychain, and a cool little pouch.The game is $15 on Steam currently. They might mean there are cheaper places to play the game.
