@mushi I actually have that picture saved on my computer, as well as a few other Cave Story pictures by the same artist
-
@northernnarwhal i didnt know the game was avaliable for 3DS
-
@mushi Yeah, Nicalis did a 3DS port with new graphics. It's pretty good, though I find the quaint nature of the original pixelated graphics to be especially striking.
-
@mushi Scratch that, Nicalis did the Wii and DS ports, Nippon Ichi did the 3DS port.
-
@northernnarwhal hm, i woul dpreffer playing on the 3Ds if i can when i have one again i might see if i get the game again
-
@northernnarwhal Actually, scratch that. Nicalis developed the 3DS port, it's just that Nippon Ichi published it. Okay, that's right.
-
@northernnarwhal hm, maybe i could check the version for DS
-
@mushi If you still have a regular DS or a Wii it's available on both of those too.
-
@mushi It should be in the eshop as far as I know
-
@northernnarwhal i have a wiiu, but it doesnt accept my credit card, so i might check if the DS does
-
@mushi Can you buy Nintendo Points anywhere in Brazil?
-
@northernnarwhal they dotn sell those in brazil
-
@mushi Ahh, so you're stuck with your credit card then. I'm surprised your WiiU doesn't accept yours, my brother has used his credit card on his WiiU in the past.
-
@northernnarwhal maybe it doesnt accept because it is set for USA, then it becomes international purchase, and if i format it and set it ot brazil i lose access to the e-store. But that is werid, i bought child of light with the credit card for wiiu onc
-
@mushi *once
-
@mushi Yeah, my brother just has it set to Canada and hasn't had any problems. Not sure why you lose access when you set it to Brazil.
-
@northernnarwhal brazil doesnt have access to the wiiu E-store
-
@mushi Oh, that sucks. Does it cost more to make an international purchase?
-
@northernnarwhal The dollar is costing nearly R$3 right now, so it is pretty much the same price now for most of the games
-
@mushi Worst case scenario, didn't you get the PC version of Cave Story?
-
@northernnarwhal i had, but i lost it the last time i formated the laptop
-
@mushi It and the translation patches for it are all still free if you want or if you can't get the game elsewhere.
-
@northernnarwhal yeah, if it where cheap i'd preffer paying for it on one of my consoles, but now i'd need to pay R$60 for a 15 dollars game. meh, someday i might download the game again, maybe
-
@mushi That's the spirit. How far in did you get when you first played it?
-
@northernnarwhal not much far, i had just reached that mimiga city
-
@northernnarwhal Is the version on cavestory.org legal?

@mushi Did you get to the first battle with Balrog there?
-
@northernnarwhal i fought someone there, i do not remember who it was
-
@mrmattimation Yes, the version on that site as well as the translation patches on that site are all entirely legal. The original PC version of the game was released as freeware by the creator.
-
@northernnarwhal Neato.
-
@mushi Did he look sort of like a blue box with big eyes?
-
@northernnarwhal i dont rememebr >_>
-
@mrmattimation Yeah, it's actually quite amazing to think that the guy spent around 4 years developing, designing, writing the story and music, as well as everything else all on his own and just releases it for free.
-
@mushi Yeah, you weren't far at all into the game.
-
@northernnarwhal Stuff like that happens more often than you think. Particularly in the old Click communities, 90% of the stuff made there was freeware. (Granted, around 80% of it was junk, but there was some pretty legitimately good stuff.)
-
@redenchilada True, though I'm not just impressed that it's freeware but more so that the guy put in 4 whole years and did everything for the game, then still released it as freeware. I seldom see games of Cave Story's size, scope, and quality released for free.
-
@northernnarwhal It's definitely on the higher end of quality for freeware games, yeah. On an unrelated note, have you ever played Knytt Stories?
-
@redenchilada I haven't played that game in particular though I am familiar with Nifflas as a developer and have played as well as enjoyed some of their other works.
