So as everyone knows, Nicalis has posted this image on their twitter. Some games are obvious but word around the block is that a Cave Story 2 may or may not be happening.
Honestly I'm conflicted with it, on one hand Cave Story is one of the best platformers in the current decade, on the otherhand Cave Story ended so perfectly that a sequel wouldn't really make any sense. Perhaps they'll make a prequel and end it there, either way I don't see a continuation of the original game being done well at all.
Quote and some blue character? It'll either be Cave Story 2, Prequel or a port of the 3DS version with brand new weapons and levels packed into it. I'd only want 2 if Daisuke Amaya is the director and in complete control.
Charles Nguyen
Why?
Grayson Jackson
This is what I could make out of it, quote is laying next to him. Is quotes new partner a neon top spinning robo duck looking thing?
This could be a prequel with a service robot being by his side and helping him fight other robots, and repairing quote when he gets damaged.
Levi Bell
I don't really want a sequel to cave story. What do you even do with it? It was so neatly closed up and doesn't need any elaboration. At best you could explore the previous holders of the demon crown.
Brandon Campbell
It's just that Rodriguez spic hiding the porn games he added to his Steam library.
Mason Richardson
unless Pixel is the sole director and given complete control, my hopes are low.
I'm still gonna pirate if it's not, because cave story is special to me, but Nicalis is an awful company with a track record for taking talented people's projects and squeezing them to death.

Brandon Sanders

Asher Lee

Blake Harris
shameful, OP
Benjamin Bell
Cave story 2 already happened. It's called Kero Blaster. And even then
Connor Murphy
kero blaster is its own game.
Chase Price
Kero Blaster is the game he wanted to make after making Cave Story, while thematically unrelated, it's a sequel.
Samuel Richardson
ah, so quake must be a sequel to doom. and nights into dreams a sequel to sonic 3 & knuckles.
are you dumb?
Sebastian Davis
Is this Nicalis, as in, resell Cave Story 10000x over with minor changes Nicalis? It's probably just another "remake".
Camden Wood
Of course, It wouldn't be Cave Story without Amaya.

Charles Reyes
Would love to see how the gameplay could be expanded upon, but yes worried about to story/setting.
Jaxson Perez
Haven't you ever heard of movie sequels that, while narratively unrelated, share similar themes/motifs? Like how Oldboy can be considered a sequel to Sympathy for Mr. Vengence? Same concept here, but more in terms of gameplay.
Xavier Myers
That's a non sequitur.
Jose Baker
Yeah, a prequel is ideal.
Nolan Wright
Nicalis did not make Cave Story. Nicalis are kikes.
Carter Jenkins
Guess how much of a thematic relation Quake 2 has to Quake.
Jordan Howard
Yes they are, Satan.
Yes they are.

IT'S SHOVEL KNIGHT

I'll see myself out. Out of existence.

"B-b-but shovel knight is a love letter to 8bit gaming, with handcraft pixels and unforgettable chiptunes! Literally everyone loves it and made a lasting imprint in the vidya industry!"
Christopher Ross
Newfags ruin everything.
Xavier Gutierrez
It's worth repeating that Kero Blaster was recently updated with a hard mode, which reshuffles old levels and bosses, adding a quite hard new level at the end.

Shovel Knight has been in just about every indie game under the sun, with cross overs everywhere.
I'm sorry user. It's Shovel Knight.
Ethan Brown
Wait did they finally release Omake Zangyou mode?
Parker Morris
Time to buy Kero Blaster then Is there somewhere I can buy it DRM-Free?
Hunter Rodriguez
I think you can get a DRM free copy straight from the website.
Hunter Morgan
Thanks a lot, user! By the way, I've tried the game before and i works on Linux via WINE without problems
Alexander Sanchez
Just be warned though, I'm not 100% sure Playism sells drm free, so it MIGHT have DRM but I vaguely remember there being a DRM free version being mentioned.
Charles Rodriguez
Alright I checked, Playism is free and you get a steam key.
Jordan Murphy
(DRM free I'm retarded, sorry.)
Ian Morris
(noice) Don't worry user, I checked as well At least you got trips
Jace Wilson
Like a dog pet too frequently I became overstimulated and irrational Sometimes it's too much of shock to remember there are other stores.
Cameron Rogers
Playism feels like a Japanese focused indie store with (mostly) DRM-Free downloads. I hope they get more sales
Benjamin Bell
I ended up buying it from the Humble Bundle Store, since it also comes with a DRM Free download and it was on sale. Give the game a try, it's fun
