The last metroidvania with so much platforming to truly be worth your time.

Even the remakes are good, if you can forgive the way they slaughtered the charm of its actual translation.

I wanna fuck Curly Brace.
The game is good too, really challenging and pretty. I dropped it because I couldn't get past the boss rush at the end, though.

I want to fuck Chaco

brilliant for 1 playthrough, tried to play it again at a later date and couldn't find any motivation to do so.

I want to cum inside Curly Brace.
This game is such a classic, I've played it so many times over the years and have it on just about everything including the 3D version. I wish I didn't lose my save file on Hard Mode, I got decently far in that.

I beat Hell the first time today. That was fucking hard. Great game overall.

it's good

cave story is not a metroidvania.

>see a major character falling to their death in front of you
>if you go investigate it you can't get the good ending :^)

What was he thinking?

I like it less than Kero Blaster.

I'll probably never get around to beating Hell.

I used to bounce back and forth about which game is better, but after recently replaying Cave Story I think it's better than Kero Blaster because of its plot. Stuff like revisiting the Egg Corridor is so much more interesting and tense than anything in Kero Blaster. It's a shame since Kero Blaster has a lot of atmospheric areas and little moments that could've amounted to something if the Amaya actually gave the script a shot. He wanted to make a silly game, a lighthearted game, a tone befitting the mobile platform. And I think it weakens the game just a tad. A tad! Kero Blaster is still godlike and features fantastic level design and better level setpieces.

you know you didn't beat hell if you used MG

i want to fuck sue

I used the upgraded polar star.

also no health refill allowed

Fuck you!

Cave Story's plot has weakened for me over time. The replay value of the game is at odds with how the story is structured. I can't enjoy making choices for the Bubbler or Nemesis if I have to sit through the same tired sequences like Sand Zone every time.

love it, pixel art that doesnt suck, tight controls and good music. never played the + version

Curly Brace thread

But the MG sucks dick. That thing is hard mode compared to spur or snake.

One of my favorite games ever. Replayed it a few months ago on the 3DS and it still holds up just as I remembered it.

Pixel is a genius.

Kero Blaster is fun but Cave Story is better in every single way. Things like weapon variety, level design, music, graphics are vastly superior.

you can propell yourself upwards by shooting down

Kino

Fucking this.
>Spur rips Ballos' asshole wide open
>Snake practically cheats for you while you're running Hell
They're 'hidden' weapons for a reason.
I legit got the Snake on my first blind playthrough because I thought Curly would get fucked over and/or die if I stuck her with my shitty Polar Star.

I also want to fuck Curly Brace. Go beat the game you fuckin' weenie, it's not that hard.

I played it on 3DS. It's good for a game made by one person, but hot damn is the beginning slow and the ending doesn't really tie together the loose ends or questions to my liking. I remember it being unfulfilling since I didn't know what choices I was supposed to make with Brace and I never got to fight the super hard bonus boss because I didn't know what I was supposed to do. It basically ended on a cliffhanger, such that I need to replay it to get the whole experience. That's cool for an RPG or adventure game like Shovel Knight, but the game was linear all the way up until the end.

I suppose one must value the context that this was all made by one guy though.

>it can do a shitty version of what your actual jetpack can do by the time you get to Hell in return for average damage
Oh man, just completely removes the challenge entirely.

Good game but I've lost all my skill related to it, I used to be able to beat Hell in less than 4 minutes but now sometimes I die.

>playing cave story on the inferior plus version on the 3DS' hand-cramping controlls with terrible clicky dpad
3ds is not good at all for action games t. day1 owner

The jetpack doesn't have infinite fuel though. If you have the turbocharger and hammer the fire button instead of holding it down, your ammo replenishment rate comfortably outstrips the ammo consumption while still giving you enough recoil to slowly drift upwards. It still does make hell harder since you don't actually need infinite flight, you need the damage output instead.

Yeah, but I like the pixelated feel. I tried pirating Cave Story+ on Wii and it didn't feel right. It was too polished. I wanted to go back to 3DS.

Pixel's art style is fucking great and the gameplay is fun. Same goes for Kero Blaster. I wish he made more games.

>metroidvania
Why does nobody know what this word means?

It truly was the Under Tale

Good game, amazing music and atmosphere
Mimigas are cute

Cave Story's weapon variety has no depth if it all boils down to immediately switching to whatever new one to level it up. Kero Blaster tying weapon upgrades to the shop lets you have more leeway with repeat playthroughs.

...

>that one itadakicat doujin of them

It's also worth noting that the indie game scene used to be very different in 2004. If Cave Story came out today, it'd just be one of the many good indies out there, but back in the day the sheer scope and polish were kind of a big deal and it was enormously influential in shaping the scene.

Got half way through and my eyes felt like exploding. I finally understand why people complain about white text on black BG's now.

here's your normal version, eyelet

Sue was my original waifu
then I ended up gay

who's your husbando then? kazuma? ballos? this guy?

Either Santa or Jack, can't make myself pick one
those eyebrows mang

Posting my favorite moment. This, the map message and the Gunsmith words never fail to make me smile.

Undertale ripoff

I've always been interested in it, what version should I get? There's like a dozen of them.

1) Download the pre-patched original English version cavestory.org/download/cave-story.php
2) Run it with NXEngine (available as a Retroarch core)
3) In the pause menu be sure to set the FPS to 50 so it runs at the correct speed

Free PC version is always a solid pick.
Otherwise you should just go by looks or convenience of system.

>you have do this and that in a very specific part of the game and if you don't you'll miss on the secret weapon/powerup and the true ending :^)
Yeah, fuck that. Got the first ending and never looked back.

Why the fuck would you need NXEngine instead of just playing the original game?

wtf I want to fuck Curly Brace now

its good, kero blaster is better tho

Still my favorite game of all time but I hate that nicalis has control over it and does nothing but rereleases.

Better video options, better controller support, and multiple save slots.

it is to this day the gold standard of indie games against which all others are judged
also in the top percentage of platformers in general desu. just the way it handled bosses would make it a 10/10 but there's so much more going on. i have no idea how amaya did it and i'm not sure he does either

>>translation
>charm
EOPs deserve death.

i can't get over how fun the co-op mode is on switch

What is the closest thing to a Cave Story the West has? Spelunky? Spelunky was pretty influential to roguelites. Iconoclasts is looking really good even if it doesn't seem very innovative.

You know what? I'm starting to think Cave Story's writing might actually have been polished off by Aeon Genesis, like they made it better. The scripts of Cave Story+ and Kero Blaster really doesn't have the same punch to it.

...

Hey.

Bought it a pile of times on top of playing the original pc version. Eventually got the physical switch edition and I love having it on my shelf. Wondering If I could send it to pixel somehow to get it signed. Great game. Work of art.
