Nicalis considering more Cave Story ports
Nicalis and Daisuke “Pixel” Amaya (Cave Story’s creator) are reportedly considering more console adaptations for Cave Story beyond WiiWare. Neither have announced specific platforms they’re leaning towards, but it’s not like there are dozens to choose from: XBLA, PSN, DSiWare, and Apple’s App Store are the likely contenders.
A commercial portable release would be especially welcome — remember how RavenWorks was working on a sanctioned Cave Story port for GBA and then DS a while back? The demo he put out (no longer available) had a lot of promise! From what I’ve heard, the game’s homebrew PSP port is quite nice, too.
Nicalis has also mentioned bringing more of Pixel’s games (e.g. Guxt, Ikachan) to consoles. The studio is playing around with the original PC version of the Cave Story for something, and “the very different, rarely seen Cave Story Beta”, too. It’s great to hear they’ve got more in the works than just NightSky and La Mulana!
No word yet on when Cave Story’s European release or a fix for the music problems. The studio did show something secret at TGS, though, according to Destructoid…
