Re: Cave Story 3DS Announced!

Cave Story is one of those strange series were you want a sequal, yet there really isn't much to base a sequal on that's in the original:

-The red petals only work on Mimigas, which only [apparently] live underground
-Misery and Balrog turned out to be good, so they can't be the antagonists
-The Doctor died in a bloody mess
-They left the island

Whatever he'd make a sequal on, it would most likely be an entirely new enviornment with a new antagonist and a different Mimiga culture, if Mimigas are present elsewhere to begin with. The only thing I can think of that could be used as a plot hook would be if Ballos didn't actually die during the explosion, which, considering how badly he [literally] fell apart, probably isn't likely.

So who knows what it will be about.

Re: Cave Story 3DS Announced!

I get the feeling another Cave Story game would be a prequel because of all the unanswered questions about the past. For instance, the game could be about Quote and Curly arriving on the island and taking on Miakid. That would even allow for multiplayer.

Re: Cave Story 3DS Announced!

CS' backstory has all the makings of a great prequel.

@CF: Although Quote and Curly's role back then was quite minor, so centering a prequel around them doesn't really make sense.

andwhyisit;]Although Quote and Curly said:
Well, it could, but only if they expand it. With what we currently know about the two, it's not nearly enough to get a good story rolling.

Another thing I would have liked to have explained would be the world governments and their role. Was their last interaction with the island with Miakid's come to power, or even further back? Heck, where are the government forces for the most recent crowning of the doctor?

Chibis? In MY Cave Story? It's a much worse idea than you think! Why? Because when you move something from 2D into 3D, you're not supposed to make it more cartoony. Perhaps Nicalis hasn't heard of the uncanny valley.

Perhaps you don't know what the uncanny valley is. To invoke the uncanny valley, they would have to make the characters realistic. Making them chibis is a good way to avoid the uncanny valley.

Re: Cave Story 3DS Announced!

Hmm. The Chibis unnerve me. I drink my graphics straight and realistic. But what is the alternative this time?

I hope this isn't going to be another Cavestowii. I think I'd like a complete re-do this time, not a half-baked one.

First learn PROPER gramar.Second if you hate cave story i ask what are you doing here infact i dont see how anyone could hate it.And 3rd chibi i believe is when you shrink characters and give them cartoony looks

example:
diph.php

And i MUST ask why this game suck or are you a next gen gamer who thinks that just because a games graphics are old school makes the game suck.

Re: Cave Story 3DS Announced!

So I figured out something that was bothering me about this. The lines on Quote's face and his general chibification make him look kind of like a doll and so now I'm reminded of all the shitty fanart that tries to draw him like one :/

Well, now that he's in 3D, it's hard for me not to think of him as a fancy Sackboy!

Also, press release of Cave Story 3DS. Haven't watched it yet myself.

... Good grief, how long has it been since I've last been here? Three years? The moment I heard this news, I came over to see if anyone was talking about it. Turns out nobody was, so I decided to spread the word.

Basically, Nicalis and Pixel are developing a fully-3D version of Cave Story for the new Nintendo handheld, and published by NIS.

And to top it off? Pixel says that a sequel is likely. Yes, a sequel.
