Cave Story 3D (3DS)

The history of Cave Story is just as interesting as the game itself. It started off as a one-man indie project you could download on the PC a few years back. It looked like something you could have played on the NES. 8-bit graphics and sound, and simple yet compelling and challenging gameplay reminiscent of titles like Metroid and Mega Man. And the game was pretty darn fun, too. Later, the game was so well recognized and received that you could download it on some consoles like the Wii and DS. And now you can enjoy Cave Story in a new way on the 3DS.
