![]() The real takeaway here, though, is Cave Story is great and you should play it. I do miss the ability to switch graphical styles, but it’s really the only regrettable absentee. However, a second attempt was successful!Ĭave Story+ isn’t the definitive version of Cave Story-I think that crown still belongs to the WiiWare version, but then again, that version isn’t portable. I thought this was not the case, as the D-pad and face buttons didn't work the first time I tried it (but the Pause button did). UPDATE: The game does support the Pro Controller. That level is masochistic.Ĭave Story+ feels great on the Switch, though unsurprisingly, the map feature is nigh-unreadable in Handheld and Tabletop Mode. There are people who speed-run the Blood Stained Sanctuary (in fact, it’s a time trial), which seems impossible. I will say that, although this is my fourth or fifth time beating Cave Story, this is the first time I’ve attempted to earnestly tackle the Blood Stained Sanctuary, a brutal sequence that hides the “final” ending. As you accomplish different things in the main game, you’ll unlock time trials that are…sort of fun if you want a change of pace. Finding Curly Brace’s panties (sigh) unlocks Curley’s Story, which plays a little differently than Quote’s campaign.

In Cave Story, you’re an amnesiac who’s been dropped in the middle of nowhere. It looks and plays like an old-school 8-bit game akin to Castlevania or Metroid.

It's not for youngsters, but if you think your kid can handle it, you're giving them one of the best video games ever made.The game uses the WiiWare game’s updated graphics, but no option exists to switch between the original and updated styles, something the WiiWare game allowed. With that said, don't let that keep you from playing this fantastic game. Also, the Evil Doctor who is kidnapping Mimiga, force feeds them red flowers, which as described by one of the Mimiga: "Causes their blood pressure to skyrocket as they drop dead." Not to mention that one of the Mimiga, Arthur, is killed while trying to save the Mimiga from harm.

Cave Story is an amazing game and one of the best on 3DS.
