Overview

Cave Story 3D is a remake of the game "Cave Story", which was originally for the PC. It has been remade several times, including on the Wii Shop Channel, DSiWare, and the Xbox. The player controls a character simply called Quote, who has lost all of his memories and awakens in a big cavern in the middle of a floating island.

Goal

On the island, there is a certain type of red flower that causes the island's inhabitants, the Mimigas, to go out of control and crazy. Quote has to defeat the Doctor, the main antagonist of the story, and Misery, another antagonist, to prevent the two from using the red flowers to take control of the Mimigas to have a massive army that could beat anything, and to restore peace on the island. The Doctor also is after an artifact on the island that has a huge amount of magical powers, called the Demon Crown, and eventually gets it; the Demon Crown, needless to say, makes him extremely powerful.

Gameplay

In order to progress throughout the game, the player must get through platforming levels that involve solving puzzles and shooting down enemies that get in the way by either using an equipped gun that Quote always carries around, or missiles. Later on in the game, other guns will be unlocked and can also be equipped on Quote. When defeated, some enemies release yellow energy shapes in the shape of the triangle. These triangles will power up the player's weapons, and can eventually level them up, although weapons can also lose energy by taking damage from enemies. There are three levels of weapon energy available to achieve, and health along with missile upgrades to the amount that can be carried can also be found as powerups hidden throughout some levels.

Release

On the 12th of April in 2011, Nintendo of America confirmed in their spring/summer 2011 games line up that Cave Story 3D is to be released in the USA on the 28th June. Cave story was delayed untill August 9, most likely so it wouldn't clash with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D. In Europe the game was released on the 11th November 2011.
