Especially if you enjoy finding all of the little differences in each version. In the end, the 2D+ version is worth it, even though it was my 3rd personal purchase of the game for the DS/3DS system.Īs this game has extremely high replayability, for another lousy $10, you won't be sorry if you add this to your collection. You can always turn the 3D backgrounds off if that bothers you and just enjoy the widescreen. However, the 2D+ version on the eShop for 3DSWare download (NOT the DSiWare version) includes Curly Story and widescreen support for the 2D version of the game as well as 3D backgrounds, text, etc just to add a nice bit of polish. The 3Dfull version is gorgeous and the soundtrack is to die for, the option of the quasi-2D sprites is also a cool feature. While the 3DS full-3D version is by far the best, it is recommended that you play the game in one of it's 2D incarnations first so that it can be fully appreciated. Note: Nintendo DSi owners can purchase the 2D version of Cave Story via DSiWare. And all the other stuff you love: over 20 epic boss battles, 15 levels to explore in the vast world, 10 unique weapons to find and upgrade, four unique endings.Additional Challenge modes (including Nemesis Challenge, Boss Rush, Curly Story, Hell Time Attack and Wind Fortress!).Multi-layered 3D depth (and lots of it!).The original 2D pixel-based Cave Story is now on the eShop as a native 3D game!Īdditionally, Cave Story for eShop supports widescreen and original 4:3 modes, two button configurations and MORE Challenges! In fact, not counting this eShop release, publisher Nicalis. In 2012, Cave Story needs no introduction. He released the game in 2004 and licensed it to Nicalis for port and remake development around 2009.
