Should I play the original Cave Story or the 3D version? Why?
Original is free.
Original is what everyone played.

I've managed to run CFW on my 3DS so the price is not a factor.

don't play the 3d version with the ugly models then

Okay, so I guess i'll play the original then.
I've been hearing a lot about how awesome the game is, hope /v/ is right for once.
recently played the 3DS version
>characters look like 3D lemmings
>animations for simple things are laughably bad
>hitboxes are iffy and not as reliable as a sprite's
>only music option is cave story+'s "remastered" version which doesn't have half the charm or fidelity
>environments don't look that much better
>"loading" pops up whenver you change screens
>can be somewhat disorienting
>paid
Just go with either the original or cave story + (which is also the eShop version, not cave story 3D)
Play original, then when you love the game, play 3D.

I don't even think it's that special. It's just simple and charming, plus back when it was released it was still very uncommon to see a professional looking game made by a single person.

Cave Story thread?
Fuck this guy on hard mode, and fuck the segment before reaching him too
>>323704468
why not just cheese him with the sword?

Original one in my opinion. It's fun and free. Also is that picture only censored? I looked on Google and couldn't find an uncensored version

3DS version makes dodging shit incredibly difficult, especially directly before the fight with him. Mix this with OHKO and getting past him is a bitch.
I have probably died 100 times trying to wipe out that cave before hand, but have only really fought him 4 times.
Also OP, get the PC version.

The watermark is annoying though

it is.

Play it for free, then buy it later because Pixel is one of the few indie devs that deserves a lot of money. He really put his love into Cave Story.

Pixel only got paid from the initial sale of the game rights over to Nicalis. He doesn't get a cent from people buying any of the ports or remakes.
>>323704468
iirc this was the first big challenge on hard mode. it only got worse at core, though sword was cool for both i guess
Never played the 3d version, just played the old one on 3dsware and definitely had no issues. depends whether you prefer pixels or not

Original or plus
Stay away from 3D and the wiiware version
