I have Cave story + for switch and I noticed the graphics looked different today when I booted it up. I was surprised to see its a halloween skin...I just randomly bought the game vaguely knowing about it for the past 5-6 years...I'm super sad I didnt get to this game sooner as its one of the best games I have ever played...With that being said I know the skins change around Christmas as well but are there any other holidays? I cant find any well documented info regarding the holiday skins.

I'm pretty sure that it's only Halloween and Christmas that are different in CS+.

I can imagine holiday skins for Cinco de Mayo, Independence Day, Easter, and Thanksgiving.

Here's an idea for you, Tyrone ;)

Easter maybe, but the rest hold no significance with the rest of the world.

I mean I never heard of Cinco de Mayo, and Independence Day is naught but an alien invasion film to me. I have no idea what they are about.

All I know about Thanksgiving is that it is the Turkey eating day and something something indians.

Yes, but the point is that everyone has heard of those holidays and have a general idea what they are about, regardless of if they actually celebrate them. Hence they work as visual themes.

The point is to use universally recognisable date-based themes. Cinco de Mayo ain't that.

Despite the previous post being a joke, that could be expected of Nicalis to do, considering they have nothing better to do with the game.

Um, not like fixing the Mac version or leaderboards or the broken achievement?

Fun fact: to fix the broken achievement, just use a hex editor and change “ENDGOOD” to “ENDBEST”. Nicalis has neglected this for 6 years

Yep. Fixing the leaderboards ain't so easy, since NICALiS never activated them; that's something they gotta do.
Well, even if we could fix the leaderboards, they would be useless, considering that only a few people would have access to them defeating the purpose of a leaderboard.
