Cave Story: The Five-Year Quest For Cute

Kotaku AU

In 2004 billions of files were uploaded onto the internet, destined to be forgotten. As these files drowned under each other, one small game created by a Japanese office worker crawled out from the swirling pool of images, text, music, and cat memes to become something of a phenomenon. The game was Cave Story, and this is the Cave Story story.

Thirtysomething gamers will recognise plenty in this isometric pixelated depiction of the original run of Kenner Star Wars action figures from the first film to Return of the Jedi I remember Luke Skywalker: Bespin Fatigues.

Cave Story Wii isn’t the same Cave Story you already know and already love. For starters, it’s getting a graphical facelift, character art and all. But that’s not all; it’s also getting downloadable content.

Meet The New Cave Story Hero, Same As The Old Cave Story Hero

Remember that Cave Story graphics comparison we ran a while back? Showing how the upcoming Wii version was making some slight, yet tasteful, changes to the way the game’s characters looked? Got another one for you today. And it’s probably the most radical, not to mention important, of the lot. Look at his little nose! And his little haircut! And the cute little details on his cute little cap! Melts the heart, it does.

Cave Story Wii Makes Me Want A New Wii

My current Wii doesn’t get much use. OK, it gets no use. But that’s not to say I wouldn’t turn down the chance to get another one! Though it couldn’t just be any Wii. If I had to get a new Wii – and Nintendo wouldn’t let me have one of those HDD-equipped ones – I’d want this one. Because if I got it, how many other people could say they owned a Wii that had been doodled all over by Pixel, the dude who created Cave Story? Doodles of Cave Story characters, all over both the console and the controllers? Not many people, that’s how many.
