Great Interview!

But Quote is a Robot (an android/humanoid, to be more exact), not a Cyborg XD

When I think about it, both heroes could be cyborgs. I haven't heard of robots that can metabolize medicine (or mushrooms!) and receive the same benefits from it as organic creatures. (assuming both Dr. Gero and Cthulthu didn't know Curly was a robot) How can a simple pill help repair mechanical damage, or a mushroom that can repair memory banks?

...then again, Pixel's already stated that both are robots, so that logic might as well be thrown out the roof.

Actually Pixel requested for all unfinished ports to be temporarily put on hold. So Cave Story DS development is at a standstill right now.

Ah, that's why I said future approval. Maybe I should've said re-approval... (do you guys remember who took over the project?)

It'd be quite possible to emulate human organs, etc. artificially. This appears to be the case with Quote. Though this discussion belongs in the Theories subforum.

Ya know, if the people here didn't know about the Blog, they'd think you're talking to yourself, andwhyisit. (assuming they already don't think so) Linky, so nobody's confused!

Actually, Tyrone himself linked to the article a few posts above you:

You mean two posts above me. I didn't see that as it was quite smaller than andwhyisit's massive space...!

Sorry!

You're right, but considering that andwhyisit has a signature that is about as long as Tyrone's section, it was easy for me to miss...

Oh, that explains it. I have signatures hidden, for that very reason.

They said on the blog they're probably not going to release any DLC right away, but they're keeping it in mind, and are working/have worked on making the game compatible with future DLC releases. So I'm pretty sure you'll get your downloads, just not in the near future.

Hey everyone,

The 29th is Pixel's birthday. Please log onto the Nicalis blog and wish him a happy birthday: http://tinyurl.com/happybirthdaypixel

Tell your friends, too! I plan on sending him the link later tonight, showing him how many of his fans wished him well.

Thanks!

Ah, so it really is on the 29th! I've already posted my best wishes to the man. (You guys should do the same!)

...but doesn't that mean that his birthday already passed? As of my posting, it's already 5:46 AM on April 30th over there...
