You mean like Brock in Pokemon? :p

I can't think of ten right now, but smash attacks in Super Smash Bros, as well as the percentage "life bar" that increases your chances of getting killed the higher it is. Seriously, how did nobody think of this before me? It's one of the most unique mechanics out there (even though I guess we...

The weird same-colored frame that looks awkward is a 'feature'. right. Good luck selling your shirts if that's the kind of rude language you're going to use with potential customers. As for me, I'll be taking my business elsewhere (or not at all).

Interestingly enough, that seems to apply to books as well. They often say that authors of childrens' books are the best writers, and it shows in their content. Dr. Seuss is considered a genius for example, and his books are among the craziest thing out there.

Precisely. Whether the ports are buggy or not has no bearing on whether 12 year olds are brought to the forum. That's all I'm saying.

It's SOMETHING, you're right. Even better. What's the point of putting blame on a thing? It can't feel bad, it can't fix what's wrong. There's just no point. Life is a WHOLE lot easier on everyone when you realize that sometimes, bad things just happen and no one in particular is at fault. But...

Does anyone HAVE to be blamed at all?

Yes, but you can't blame them for an unfortunate circumstance that occurs by default as a result of going mainstream. It would've happened regardless of who made those ports, so you just can't blame them for immature kids getting into the game. It's as simple as that.

That actually makes a lot of sense... especially when you consider all the different frames of animation for the sprites.

Hm. I think I can understand that. :) That said, I don't really think it's fair to blame Nicalis' ports for that. It's just an unfortunate circumstance as a result of the game getting more mainstream. But that's just my opinion.

Yep. The eShop version is the one I have, and there's no toggle. But at least from what I see, the only seasonal changes the eShop version brings are to Quote's sprite.

I guess I can't really speak for the first bit since the eShop version is my first experience with the game. That said, it plays fine to me (at least with the Curly fix update). As for the second part, I hate to break it to you, but 12-year-olds play CoD, so "cartoony sprites" likely has very...

I'd like to think that someday I'd be one of those people who breezes through Hell speedruns, but it's so hard to imagine.

Curly as Samus is just awesome. That said, I wish there was a way to disable the season-themed sprites. They're cool, but sometimes I just want to see plain-old Cave Story without any special recolors and stuff.

Ok, fine. One of the MORE elitist things I've heard. :p

how are "good" ports different from "milked" ports? And how the HECK can they purposely spread the game "only" to what you consider "mature" audiences? No offense, but that's seriously one of the most elitist things I've heard.

That doesn't make sense... why would they not have enough space for a "true" classic Cave Story (which is what, 5mb?), but have enough for sprite models?

This would actually be a really cool idea, for two-player co-op. One player as Quote, the other as Curly, and it would count as a game over for both of you if one died, to make up for the lost difficulty on having two players. Though personally, I think this would be better suited for a...

I'm pretty anal about saving missiles and other weapons with limited ammo for bosses in games like Metroid, and that habit kind of followed me with Cave Story. So unless I'm absolutely desperate, I rarely use missiles outside of bossfights.

I really don't understand why people are complaining about Nicalis milking cave story, or suggesting that it's somehow "not one of the best indie games anymore" once Nicalis got ahold of it. Umm... last I checked, the original game is still available for free on PC. So why complain? I'd...

Having neither the Spur nor Nemesis myself (I traded my polar star for the machine gun), i'm stuck, too. But I insist on beating this the old fashioned way! :p
