Daisuke "Pixel" Amaya, the man behind the massively awesome Cave Story, has talked to GamesRadar together with NIS America about their upcoming Cave Story overhaul. It appears that the WiiWare version was nothing more than a warmup, as they are now gearing up for a full Cave Story 3D set for the 3DS.
“The difference between the original Cave Story and Cave Story 3D is going to be the environments are going to be in full 3D, but we will keep the original style of the game, which is a 2D scrolling action game,” said Amaya.
“Primarily, this is based off of the original game. In a way, it’s almost like a true 3D remake from scratch,” added Tyrone Rodriguez, producer/music director of the project. “So we’ve added a couple of things that Daisuke and I have gone over, as far as some secrets and some Easter eggs that are going to make some of the original fans really happy, and it’ll also add some longevity for the game for anybody who’s playing it, and sees these grand new areas that we’re adding, as well.”
Sounds interesting to say the least, and is sure to give this fantastic title some more exposure. Cave Story was initially released for PC on December 20th, 2004 and later ported to WiiWare and released on March 22nd, 2010 in North America and December 10th, 2010 in Europe.
