I didn't want it on my Switch but whenever I found out about the Mega Drive/Genesis version I was floored at how great it was on a 16-bit console. Anyone who thinks that it's dumb to make new games for older consoles aren't retro at heart.

I haven't played this game in almost 15 years. I still remember it having a profound effect on me after I finally completed the Hell run, but I can no longer remember specifically why. I barely remember the female robot's name was Curly Brace I think? I don't remember anything else about it except for flashes of the characters and bits and pieces of the earlier parts of the game which I repeated several times. Little talking dog things that get kidnapped, a boss shaped like a big TV, some sort of lab that gave off a Mega Man Dr. Light vibe. A "bad ending" involving escaping the big floating island on a dragon or something. It's been a long time.

I don't love Nintendo a ton as a company or even like any of their main series, but 3DS is a solid piece of hardware with tons of good games and I seem to be one of the few people around who's eyes aren't fucked and the 3D effect is awesome.

Before I knew jewtendo was going to sue over fanmade games I bought a 2ds myself really early just to play golden sun 3, a link between worlds, megaman zero collection, and dawn of sorrow.

But it was a 2ds because I'm not guilty of being a faggot unlike some people.

I had forgotten Cave Story on the Genesis was a thing so I decided to check it out. Shockingly good aside from some graphic glitches that show its still a beta.
Was this game always so easy, though? I seem to remember it being harder. Maybe this is just the power of the 16 BIT Sega Genesis and its superior controller, versus whatever shitter controller I was using to play it last.

I have it on Steam but I'm downloading the Wiiware version to play it at 240p on my CRT. I absolutely love this game. Such memorable characters and music, on top of just being really fun to play. It might not seem so special now with the wave of retro inspired indie games, but Cave Story is one of the most important indie games made.

Most computer advancements are actually just shitty gimmicks and to buy, actually literally BUY into them is faggot enabling capitalist shit like feature creeps. We should have full body vr now, not a pop out shit that the 3ds did. It ads nothing to gameplay nor makes it more immersive.

I'm on /vr/ for a reason is what I meant buy that and people like you, gratuitous though they may be, should probably fuck off and take the redditor moderation with you.

Finished the Genesis port, I died against the doctor at the moment his death animation started, which stuck me at 0 health, making me invincible (and invisible) for the final core battle. Does this bug exist in the regular version of the game?
Also, this isn't done. Background layers disappear not too infrequently. 95% amazing though. If it gets finished, I'll play again.

What game uses the same power up system with the little collectible powerups enemies drop that you lose on hit?
What game lets you propel yourself with a machinegun?
Hell, what platformer has the same kind of airboost?

For a game that got praise for being (kind of the first) retro throwback game, it actually had a fair number of new ideas.

It has "improved" graphics, remixed soundtracks, and some bonus content like Curly Story (which is the same game but you play as Curly) or the Wind Fortress, which I've heard was supposed to be in the original game but got cut, but I've never found a source for that. Just download the freeware version, though. The graphics in the Nicalis ports aren't bad but the original graphics are cute and charming. Soundtrack in the original BTFOs Nicalis's shitty remixes. There's quite literally no reason to buy any version of Cave Story before playing the freeware version, the only good change about the ports is the inclusion of the Wind Fortress.

The actual 'beginning' can be completed in about 6 minutes.
Egg Corridor is a blast
Grasstown is the slog, but I would say everything after that is good until you get to the Farm, but then the boring part of the Farm can be completed in about 6 minutes, it's just unfortunate that it's such a 'non' area.

Honestly, the game is very dense with perfection. People bitch about small things way too much.

I played the original back when it was fairly new and quite liked it. Then got the DSi port but only got mid way through before getting distracted by too many other things to play and that it was the same thing again. I find I very rarely replay games even if I liked them a lot but it's been long enough that a slightly different version might be enough to hold my interest.

>> No.7083564

>>7080239
Yeah, this too.
Fan translation:
>As far as I can tell, he's still looking for them.
>We can only hope he doesn't find them.
vs Nicalis:
>The Doctor is still searching for the red flower.
>It's good if he hasn't found the location yet.
The Nicalis translation is serviceable, but it sounds stilted and awkward compared to the fan translation.
