Ugh. Just beat it. Man, Cave Story is awesome, but getting the best ending is hard. If I didn't end up using a walkthrough, I never would have even guessed the right actions, never mind actually beating the Hell level. Seriously, it's taken me weeks to reach Ballos, and I would have never beaten him if I didn't watch the You Tube video with the missile launcher.

This is my first major 8-bit game in years and the first game of any real difficulty (besides Pikmin). I'm glad to say that I'm enjoying an actual challenge, while enjoying good art and a captivating storyline. Studio Pixel, thank you for being a good example of what can be done through a lot of hard work. I'm also glad that I can finally stop playing and return to my studiesgrin.

you'll then have a grave in the clouds where you won't lie too cramped

There haven't been news since quite a while now, it's getting closer and closer to Vaporware status...

And that's how I ended up in the wardrobe. It Just Bugs Me!

i suppose thats what you should expect when the same company ports 2 games at once, and a hardcore fanbase that'll be hard to please. (la-mulana+cave story)

That was beautiful. It would sound really stunning with a professional player, but no matter.

I agree, Penguin. For that matter, I'd like to hear a version of this done four-handed with professional players.

I'd also like to know how this person managed to get a HQ video on Youtube to clock in at 24 minutes.

I wish Marasy8 would try his hand at this piece ;_;

I don't know how to read those new-fangled Youtube channels, but I think that if he has a Director account from back before they stopped giving those out, he would still be able to post videos without the 11 minute time limit.

Also, you can download an mp3 of the song on his website. Same guy also recorded a 2-piano version of Moonsong.

I'll probably print out some of the sheet music in the future. Not used to playing in the treble clef, but I can read it.

Meta Four: that's technically a 1-piano, 4-hands version. But amazing nevertheless.

I wouldn't mind Nicalis' slow progress on Cave Story Wii if he actually posted pics/vids/previews when he says he's going to.

P.S.: Cave Story Rule 34 can go die kthxbai.

*facepalm* Considering what I've accidentally stumbled on before, trust me, that's probably not what Charlatan's talking about.

Anyway! Has anyone heard anything on progress with the Wii update? Particularly on improvements on the mess the music was last time, I hope.

@Goggle: Lemme put it this way—King seems to get assigned the role of Seme if what I unwantedly glimpsed is any indication.

Sue had a slightly annoying personality and the physical appearance of an anthropomorphized rabbit.

No, I was not furry for Sue. My apologies.

I happen to like her attitude, but more along the lines of "she's got spirit and would help out in a pinch."

Did anyone else get the impression that some of the humans didn't really see the player character  *

as an equal, just as someone it's okay to exploit? What made me think there may be something there:
  • After you rescue Kazuma, he and Booster jump on the bike and fly off, and leave you to trek back through Grasstown on foot.
    • Though Kazuma isn't too bad. Later, when he thinks the only option is to run away, he offers to take you with him.
  • Upon discovering the Doctor's plans for the Red Flowers, Professor Booster explains why it's far too dangerous for any of them to go into the Sand Zone, and he volunteers you to go instead.
  • Momorin Sakamoto takes your jet pack without so much as asking. "Aha. I just need to borrow this."

Is there something there, or am I just reading too much into it?
