`-';;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

it solved the fact that for sure and certain we now know that igor wasn't working for any of the known characters. and I have the funniest feeling that the sky dragon-raising professor had no importance to the story at all other than he liked sky dragons and decided to create a big-ass lab in order to raise them properly, and igor the plain ol' mimiga found it and decided to help ou, which happened to become an important plot element LATER regarding people who wanted to escape from the island via these dragons.

In the article, pixel said if he could completely remake cavestory, he woul completely redo the main character, quote. So that means...
Pixel didn't like quote?

But Quote doesn't have a personality.
So does Pixel want him to look different, or does he want to make Quote a real character?

"Giving him a personality" makes a lot more sense, I think. I don't think anyone's ever thought Quote isn't a well-designed character as far as how he looks and all that.

And even if he did want to even physically redesign the main character, it probably doesn't mean he dislikes Quote, rather than he just thinks he could do something even better or more fitting?

It'd be cool if he did sort of 're-imagine' Cave Story down the line but in a way that you can still enjoy the original, though I doubt that's likely for at least awhile.

Apparantly the demon crown isn't the slumbering power on the island or something, because curly says they were looking for that, and also the demon crown if I read it right.

It's the core.

Core = heart of island, according to what Nicalis puts in Misery's mouth.

And reminiscing at my fanaticism of the blog a while back, I noticed some things:

The interview with Pixel was on the Nintendo Channel March 14, 2010. This is a 11 month delay when they first announced it back in April 21, 2009.

Comparing to the final version, this part of Bushlands back in April of 09 seems to be identical, music and all (save for the Polar Star).

I have to wonder what delayed the project as much as it did...

Or other unforeseen consequences, along with the ones we've already been told about *Cough*Nintendo*Cough*, that we cannot begin to speculate on.
I wouldn't be so quick to jump to judgment, unless, of course, you've actually done something like this before :)
{Physically you, remaking an obscure, foreign platformer for an entirely different system, and while updating it and keeping it faithful to the original}

Guess there is someone that doesn't know how Nintendo play their cards.

To be honest, have any of us had experience with Nintendo and their methods when handling these WiiWare titles? I understand games take time to get approval, but almost a year? Either Nintendo is crazy strict about what goes in their library, or they're lazy bums. Signs point strongly to the former...

Ah, I'll leave it at that. Seems like all I do is rouse up the place unnecessarily.

Pronouncing some words in certain ways can lead to the implication of an implication of an innuendo. This is too much for nintendo.

I thought it was kinda funny that they changed the credits art if you get the mimiga mask ending, but not if you get the curly ending. When I finished with curly it showed pictures of quote in the Mimiga mask doin' all this stuff.

what?

uhhh, can someone explain this to me? How do you even get an ending with the mimiga mask, going back to Kazuma? Or can you actually go into the Final Cave if you ride a stumpy up there now?

When they finish the rocket, just don't talk to Momorin and steal her rocket like it's nobody's business.

Given, it makes things harder with no booster pack, but it (at least for me) made it more fun at the end. Going this route also locks off hell (if you had 2.0).

Awesome! So, uh, could I get the v0.8 on purpose for an easier Final Cave since I'm not totally sure the Hidden Final Cave would be possible for me without the 2.0?

You don't do the hidden final cave if you keep the mask.
It's not too hard.
And anyway, if you get the 0.8 you'll still have to give it to her and not get it back.
