Sup. y'all. Gonna do some work to the OP here for Cave Story.
Originally a freeware game released to the public back in 2004, it quickly gained popularity for it's style of gameplay - it ran in a similar fashion to Metroid and Castlevania. Back during that time, freeware games were below average, so this game was gaining much popularity for it's high-end quality.
Developed by a single man who goes by the alias Pixel, the game stars a silent protagonist attempting to save a race from being used for experimental intentions and as a means for power. I'd go into detail, but I'd rather not spoil it.
The soundtrack is amazing, the graphics are great, and the gameplay is astounding. All for free in the PC. The game gained translations and ports across platforms (PSP, for example, if you had the means) but wouldn't receive a priced release until 2010 when the game saw some improvements and released on the Wii Ware. It saw an updated graphical interface, multiple files, a redone soundtrack, new modes such as Boss Rush and Time attack, and the ability to play as Curly Barce (One of the game's protagonists). Months later, a DSi version was made. It had all but the Boss rush mode and Time attack of the Wii ware version.
In September of 2011, Cave Story would find itself on the Mac App Store. It included updated graphics and music.
November 2011, Steam received a PC port of the game with a new level designed but Pixel, himself. "Wind Fortress" which includes some scrapped music originally intended for content Pixel wanted to include in the final version, but didn't get to it.
Cave Story 3D is a complete remake, in 3D of the game. Released November 8th in NA, this game sports a completely redone engine and a remastered soundtrack and sells at full retail price of a 3DS game ($40). It's probably the most expensive of the versions available, but it is the most impressive looking of them.
--------------------
That's the cut of it.
The game's ****ing amazing. Go play it.
