Cave Story Review

Cave Story
Nintendo Wii
Cave Story is an independent title developed not by a studio, but by one man; Daisuke "Pixel" Amaya. Over the course of five years, Pixel created and released his game over the internet in 2004 for players the world over to enjoy. The game was well received and garnered the attention of publisher Nicalis who wanted to update the game with better graphics and port it to console systems. Daisuke accepted the offer and a little while later, Cave Story would be released on the Nintendo Wii as a downloadable WiiWare title. But, with the updated version, has the game lost some of it's charm?
