Hm. My anlysis thread didn't get as many posts as I hoped for. Too intellectual I guess.
Anyway, I'm a HUGE fan of Cave Story. I started out with the NA WiiWare version, which was the first game I played without ANY form of magazine or walkthrough. Resultingly, the story, music, and gameplay felt nostalgiac yet original. The graphics were smooth and nice to look at, the gameplay was solid in the Metroidvania mechanics, and then the music; it's the greatest soundtrack ever. Everyone hated it, saying they were poor remixes, but I thought they captured the atmosphere, and alongside the graphics, story, and gameplay, made the Cave Story WiiWare NA patch feel more like an engaging experience than a game. They recently updated the WiiWare patch to the EU version and fixed things that were glitchy and buggy. The only problem; they made the music crappier. First of all, the percussion that they added detracted from the atmosphere, emotion, and magic that the NA patch had. Next, the title theme was changed to a slow one that, while it still sounded pretty good (and fit well at the last NPC area) didn't sound as dark and lively as the NA patch. But now I'm rambling.
Do any of you guys have any experiences with a version of this game?
