I know, I'm bumping, I think it to be better to resurface an existing thread than create a new one.
Alright... So this is officially out for DSiWare for 1000 points. Is it actually worth spending the $10 on, or am I going to just shelf it like I did to the other stupidly hyped retro-styled games? |

That depends, do you like Cave Story?
I haven't played either port, personally. What I do know is that the wii port had absolutely horrible music. They decided, for some reason, to re-do it. It was terrible. The DSi port has the original music intact. That's about all I know about the ports. |

The reason I'm asking if it's worth the money is because I haven't played either preexisting version, and I want to make sure I'm not getting jipped. |

Well, if you haven't even played the original PC one before, then it's probably worth it to get the portable DSi version. Otherwise, I suppose it depends on how much new content is actually in it, if any. ____________________ |

Well, if the DSi version is based on the Wii version... it depends really.
The main criticism I heard about the Wii version is about the music not being as good. And it feels silly with a game going more "HD" when the orginal game was supposed to be a bit retro.  ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

I broke down and bought it soon after bumping the thread, and I'm pleasantly surprised so far. I kinda like it. I actually played it at work today.
I just wish that taking damage didn't decimate your own damage output. * Trelior shakes his fist angrily at Frog Balrog for dropping his Polar Star from Max to halfway back to level 1 in two hits. I'm working on the dogs in the Sand Zone... I have no idea where to take them. |

You take them back to Jenka. She's the old lady in the house. |

I figured that out... After looking at the map and seeing a section I hadn't ventured into.
King's blade is BROKEN, albeit a pain in the ass to power up and keep strong. |

Posted by KP9000I started playing the DS version, then went and downloaded the PC version. Having went through and got the good end in both, the only thing I noticed was different, besides resolution, was minor dialog changes. Based on what I've heard about the Wii version, changes from that are that there's no Curly Mode or Boss Rush. |

Posted by TreliorI think way diffrent translators was involved. Orginal Cave Story was fan-translated, while the DS/Wii was translated commercially. ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

Direct translation rarely works out well ; I know it varies from translator to translator, some knows it's better to change puns and names around to fit the English language better, while others goes for the direct translation route, which usually wind up sounding awkward in some cases.____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

I completed Cave Story around a month back, took me 14 hours. The secret end stage took me some time.
It's a great game, very inspiring, and rather amazing to think that it was done by one person. ____________________  |

So I'm at the Undead Core on my three heart run.
Just throwing this out there. The Doctor's souped-up form is peculiarly weak. ____________________ we're currently experiencing some technical difficulties |

In case any of you weren't already aware, Cave Story is being remade for the 3DS.
Here's a link to an article with a rather disappointing first screenshot. I love the look of the concept art, but to me the screenshot seems to ruin some of the visual charm the original had. |
