Cave Story+ Coming To Nintendo 3DS eShop, Separate From Cave Story 3D

Developer and Nicalis CEO Tyrone Rodriguez has announced that Cave Story+ will be coming to the Nintendo 3DS eShop. Cave Story+ is apparently a remake and a completely separate game from Cave Story 3D which was released on Nintendo DSiWare.

A version of Cave Story+ launched on Steam, but Rodriguez says that this iteration is different. The 3DS version of Cave Story+ can’t handle the ‘Steam HD art’ or new music, but the sprites will be rendered in 3D. The game will feature the originals soundtrack.

“I fought really hard to try to get it to be just a ‘simple’ update; I feel that Nintendo wanted the same thing too, but the logistics behind it are pretty huge. The good thing is that if you already bought the DSiWare version on your 3DS and ever delete it, you’ll still be able to download it. The update won’t stop you from playing the prior version of the game.”

Nintendo has admitted that there’s room for improvement with the Nintendo 3DS eShop but the company is adamant that it’s on the right track. Nintendo wrote the following in its recent financial report to investors:

“We know that the Nintendo eShop still has room for improvement. However, we have a strong feeling that the foundation for us to deploy our digital businesses has been properly laid out. Good games are one thing, but realizing that this is only the foundation is the first step in a process toward a fully realized digital platform.”

Supervillian Studios has announced that the immensely popular Order Up!! is finally coming to Nintendo 3DS in North America as an eShop title. The studio has already finished development of the game on the Nintendo 3DS and they are currently busy preparing a demo of the game. Sadly there’s no release date pinned down at this precise moment in time.

“[Order Up] is now coming exclusively to the 3DS eShop as a download. The retail scene is brutal unfortunately, so there have been some changes in plan.”

“I think the demo is just ASAP after Nintendo approval, and the game would follow soon after.”
