As seen here on Kotaku.

What would NIS do with our beloved game? A PSP/PS3 port sounds unlikely, as Nicalis could easily port the WiiWare version (or even the DSiWare version)

A prequel? A sequel? (despite Pixel saying otherwise) Voice acting? Crossover with Disgaea? Let the speculation commence!

...unless NIS is really Variant Interactive...? (and holy crap, they still exist)

NIcaliS

Also, it can't be a PS3 port, because Nicalis owns the rights to publish Cave Story on every current gen platform.

I have never heard of NIS or played any of their games.

But I think we're looking at a remake here people. Possibly involving whatever "Prinny" is.

NIS is short for Nipon Ichi Software, a Japanese game developer most famous for the tactical-RPG series Disgaea (where Prinnies come from) and JRPG series Ar tonelico. Check out the trailers linked to see what they're about.

As for a remake of Cave Story, that would worry me a bit. In my eyes, the stuff that NIS has done doesn't match up with what Pixel's work. Humor and otherwise.

Considering that Nippon Ichi Software's main specialty is the RPG genre, perhaps it's a reimagining of Cave Story within RPG gameplay?

I'm not sure how that would come out, but if done right it wouldn't be that much of a stretch, considering that the game already has plenty of dialogue, an EXP system [of sorts], and even shows how many hit points you've unleashed on a foe.

I guess that pic is just a sign that NIS is going to publish the 3DS CS remake.
NIS has nothing to do with the actual game remaking process, I think.

From the comments section:
Pokemon Hat and Bag, Scarf, A Penguin and Captain America Gun.
Obviously, this is going to be the best mashup game ever made.
I sure hope this kid is being sarcastic.

So according to him it is a mashup of knitted products, antarctic wildlife, a comic book hero, and Pokemon.
