Cave Story + updated to bring the switch features to PC and now allow coop
>coopneat
>>736907228Eh?
>>736907253Basically new music and a widescreen mode. It honestly should have been standard on steam
>>736907228Too little too late.They said this update was gonna drop in like 2018, what took them so fucking long?
>>736907228>game updated to make it a shittier version updating games should be illegal
>>736907379Did they ruin the music?
>>736907429The Steam version was already shit since launch.
I don't like the nicalis translation so I shan't be playing it
>>736907456The music was ruined back in 2010. Luckily you can just use the original 2004 soundtrack.
>>736907456With this version there's like, five versions I think?>organya (Original)>cave story+ (Wiiware)>remastered (3DS)>famitracks (RushJet1 remixes)>ridiculon (the two guys doing music for the Edmund McMillen games)Honestly Ridiculon is pretty fucking overproduced for a game like this, sounds horribly out of place and blows out the audio a bit without turning the music volume down.
>>736908993Allegedly Nicalis only gave Ridiculon one week to do the entire soundtrack.Probably why a lot of it sounds samey.
>>736907228Cave Story has been re-released more times that Skyrim.
so outside of the original versionIs there an actual good version of cave story?
>>736909419Yeah.The fanmade ports of the original freeware.
>Co-op CavestoryFUCK YEAH>2 player4 player would have been chaotic.
>>736909550There's a way better multiplayer mod for the freeware version anyway.
>>736908993So what's the best choice for a newfag?
>>736909592Original. Always has been, always will be.
>>736907228>Coopthis is actually quite unique for a metroidvania.
>>736909592organya if you want the old flavor as the way it's always supposed to have been, remastered if you want something that sounds more modern, famitracks if you've heard cave story OST a million times and want a fresh take on it. + kinda sucks ass and ridculon is.. a gimmick appeal i guess.also they announced the update on like saturday, but it wasn't supposed to release til today, and looking at the modder beta for the update>october 29 2012 for the last PC update>march 19 2026 for the latest for modders to prep ahead of timejesus they really did abandon this shit ass PC port for nearly a decade and a half
>>736909701I really wouldn't call Cave Story a metroidvania. You can revisit some areas for extra collectibles and need to for the best ending, but it's very hubs and stages in flow.
>>736909717>>736909630thanks
What is pixel even doing nowadays
>>736909701It also kinda ruins the story beats.>Oh no! Toroko is dead! ;_;>Oh nevermind, she's standing right next to me as player two.
>>736909879Drawing his cat wives.https://x.com/oxizn
>>736909952I can respect it
What's the deal with the 'intended' speed for the game? Was it actually meant to run faster, or did Pixel already adjust the speed of everything when he made the original 60 to 50 change?
>freeware gameHonestly the only worth thing of the Plus version is the Wind Fortress.
>>736910682trvth
>>736910829Oh no?!
>>736909419i'll say doukutsu-rs as there was so many QoL needed https://doukutsu.rsbut this update might put cave story + as the best version
>>736909897helping a friend to do their gamehttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4145380/__Captain_Patchwork/
>>736907253Reh
>>736907943You can just mod it out now that it has mod support but you can play whatever you want anon
>>736911695I shan't.
>>736911492I assume you meant to quote this >>736909879
i kinda wish cave story add a steam workshop
>>736911947
Ever since the update I'm just getting this window and if I ignore it, the game opens but has no sound. Great update, guys.I tried verifying game files, re-installing the game, re-installing/repairing all those Visual C++ thingies but nothing worked.
>>736912247My game hasn't even updated so you're already ahead of me.
How did it take them 9 years to do this
>>736914217NicaLIES isn't competent
>>736914217Probably because only one guy cared enough to work on it. Which is what I think the "Fred" in the patch notes refers to.
>>736909952based
