At the start of the game you'll be extremely weak (one or two hits will knock Quote out), but after a bit of exploration you'll quickly build up your set of items, upgrades, and levels. In the same vein as something like Super Metroid or Blaster Master (if you only played out-of-vehicle, that is), Cave Story is made up of classic pixel art, and is all about adventuring at your own pace, blasting the crud out of baddies with your newfound blaster. We often dig into 'underground' games when possible, and - like many of the more fortunate gamers out there - have already gone the distance with Cave Story on PC, but with a little help from a new WiiWare developer Nicalis, this cult classic PC title is now getting the star treatment on WiiWare, and yes, it's well worth your attention.Ĭave Story centers around a little boy named Quote, who wakes up in a mysterious world and instantly gets to work in exploring the vast land that awaits underground. A classic download freeware game for PC, Cave Story started hit the web in 2004 after over five years by developer Daisuke Amaya, or 'Pixel,' as he's known on the net. Chances are you don't know Cave Story, at least not yet.
