Cave Story 3D is a Nintendo 3DS video game released by NIS America and developed by Nicalis. Atlus assisted in the manufacturing of the product. It is a remake of the popular freeware video game Cave Story completely redone with 3D graphics. This is the third iteration of the game released on a Nintendo platform, and the first one to be released through retail. Every aspect of the game has been revamped, turning the popular sprite-based characters, objects and locations into 3D polygons. The developers admit that with the original Cave Story, there wasn't much they could do with layers because of its 2D style. With 3D, however, they were able to add several layers and accordingly include more background objects, thus increasing the 3D depth.
A map is placed on the bottom screen to assist in the navigation of the game's world. Daisuke "Pixel" Amaya, the game's creator, claims that this and several other enhancements were made because of player feedback from the WiiWare and DSiWare versions of the game, saying that he felt that it's "important to have an understanding of what players want, and assess whether or not something improves the overall experience."
3DS eShop Description[]
Cave Story 3D is a side scrolling action adventure game inspired by the fan-favorite 2D original. Now in a full 3D world, Cave Story takes the proven 2D action and exploration into stereoscopic awesomeness.
You wake up in a cave with no idea who you are or where you came from, but you know you must help a cut race of rabbit-like creatures beat the crap out of some crusty old doctor. As you advance through the game, you'll learn the origin of the Mimiga world and even your own. Like the critically acclaimed Pixel masterpiece, Cave Story 3D is a combination of high-speed shooting action scenes with heavy emphasis on platforming, exploration, and light puzzle solving, as well as a deep storyline. Also you can experience the original indie hit with exclusive "paper" 2D pixel mode!
