My first version was the psp homebrew one. It was the first version with widescreen but the cutscenes were not made to support it.
mine too, but it supported cutsenes
me too. i learned about this game because it was downloadable in ppsspp, and i loved every second (even if it was running at like 2/3 speed)
@@enthusiasticgeek7237 me too
@@enthusiasticgeek7237 lol same
Same but idk if it did support cutscenes
4:46 That's funny, because the Mimiga Mask ending has existed since the original 2004 version.
Oh, really? I had a feeling it might be possible, but not implimented. More of why it kinda sucks that Nicalis talks about how it's a new ending for their version of the game, haha.
It existed, but didn’t have credits art
My first time playing this was on roblox lmao. Somehow someone actually managed to port the entire game, and it seems to work just fine.
Lol me too
Same, and only in a week before
Me too LMAO, ROFL, LOL, HAHA.
Cave Story+ on Switch definitely has some neat things that come with it that somewhat justifies its existence, whether it's the music selection in the Options menu, the return of the Jukebox feature from the WiiWare version, a graphical toggle between Cave Story Classic or Cave Story+, a CD of the Famitracker soundtrack and a full-color manual made as a reference to the NES era!
I originally played on the 3ds eShop original port as a kid and I played that to death it’s so good. I love how after beating the game, I got to play it all again with after learning about all the secret weapons and the best ending on the internet. I’ve started speedrunning it now would highly recommend
The eShop port, to this day, stands as one of, if not, my favorite port of the game. It truly rocks
My first playthrough was on Wii. It blew my mind when I went back to it at Christmas and everything in the game was all Christmasy.
It's great! I love the effort, that's for sure! :D
This game has such a special place in my heart. My dad and I used to take turns playing it when I was a kid. I’d play most of the main missions and he’d do the boss fights because they were too hard for me
$40??? Insane Also, please keep posting Nerdieo. Loving the content
Lucky my parents paid for it instead as a kid
I still have the cartridge with me to this day
AND IT'S $60 SECONDHAND ON EBAY it's nuts! And thanks, Ace!! I appreciate it!
KEEP IT! It's definitely a neat piece of Cave Story history, just not good in comparison to the others, IMO. If you enjoy it, dont let me ruin your fun!
@@Nerdieo I do admit its definitely inferor to any other version, however I can appreciate what they tried to do with the graphics, giving it an overhaul to a semi realistic look
I do prefer the 3DS ost over any other version, as controversial as the sound is for that port
@@GothicSnowLeopard THE MUSIC IS PHENOMENAL, OH GOD YES
For my money, the Switch version is the best way to play the game. Setting the graphics and music to original basically gives you a perfect version of the freeware version with 60fps and widescreen. Plus all the quality of life changes are also present, the biggest one being the cutscene skip option. I've seen all those conversations a million times, so being able to skip them vastly improves the pacing on repeat playthroughs. That single QOL feature is enough for me, but combine that with all the soundtrack options, plus the enhanced graphics option with changes made just for the Switch version like dynamic water and lighting, I really don't see why you'd want to play any other version instead. The only thing the OG freeware version has (besides being free) is the popular fan translation, but even that can only matter so much when doing a second playthrough since you already know how the story goes. I just wish they'd port these changes over to the PC version, but with Switch emulation being a thing, I can only be so mad.
"i need a wii u port"
Let me tell you about a little something called 'CSE2'...
😶
Read this comment a tad too late...but thank you anyways, haha
Yes
I’ve been wanting to play cave story for a while so honestly thank you for this video!
No problem at all!! I hope you enjoy the game when you play it!!
@@Nerdieo ok I’ve just finished it (my ending I got had me with the mimiga mask and sue, safe and saved but with curly sadly dead, despite being put in the cabin.) and I must say, despite this game messing up sometimes, yeah I love this game and it’s probably a new favorite and is probably in my top 5-10 favorite games without a doubt
Weapons: Machine Gun, Blade, Fireball, Bubblin, Missile Launcher
yeah, I played the cave story wii demo and thats how i found out about cave story
Same! It seems like the WiiWare version was the gateway to many Cave Story fans, myself included
I kinda wanna get Cave Story 3D and get the true ending on it lol
I'll have to stream that one day, haha
My personal favourite is the 3ds port because that’s the first version I ever played although I prefer the aeon genesis translation
It's just the most neat way to play the game, haha
The first version I've played is the original freeware version. Is curious how I met Cave Story with a game called "I Wanna Kill the Guy".
Switch version is nuts, dude. It's got co-op, man!
The Switch version does go crazy, haha. I forgor to mention co-op and the new lighting effects, sadly!!
When i was a kid and downloaded cave story on my dsi just because the box art looked cool, turned out to be a absolute masterpiece for like 5 bucks
I love the DSiWare port, haha, it's so rad!
Just last week I downloaded the 3ds port off of hshop and played the game for the first time. Haven't finished the good ending yet but it's a great game! Might pick up the switch version at some point if I ever feel like replaying it so I can see exactly what was added/changed
I really like Cave Story 3D, it's more detailled and organic
cool vid!! been wondering which version to play and this helped me narrow it down
edit: i was mean for no reason so i changed what i said
This was one of my first videos on the game at the time and when I made it, I had assumed everyone had played the game by now given it's nearly 20 years old. It was a dumb decision by me, I prioritized getting a definitive list of ideas and thoughts over the ports rather than the spoiling safety of the game.
@@Nerdieo if im being real i was in a bad mood when i watched this, & i don’t even remember what the spoilers were. im sorry for bringing that energy here :/
3:56 actually there *are* quite a lot of notable differences between the pc and switch version, one being that the pc runs at 4:3 while the switch at widescreen, and the new water particles on switch which in my honest opinion looks horrendous and waaaay off, the "lightning" system which is just a semi-transparent white sprite, and of course the coop mode. But overall yes it pretty much adds quality of life improvements.
Funny thing is that I was BOMBARDED with this correction and it was a massive oversight on my hand to say the two were the same, haha. I was aware of the differences, I'm unsure why I didn't dedicate a section to it. At the same time, tho, I also write all my scripts at 2am, haha
Protip: Daisuke is pronounced like "dice-kay". Also at one point in the video you said "slice of life improvements" when you meant "quality of life improvements" and I thought that was kinda funny.
who asked
@@bizanagi5378 Lol, are you OP's alt account?
"Dice-Kay", sounds about right. Good to know.
played a CS demo on Wii when I was young. Got Plus as a Christmas gift one year and realized this game WASNT a huge fever dream I made up lmao
I played the 3ds the version the most growing up, probably my favorite version and most nostalgic
Am i the only one who thinks that the physics in Cave Story + are different?
You're not wrong, but technically wrong. The game's physics are technically the same, however due to the game being at 60 FPS rather than the original 50, the gameplay is sped up about 20%. While the physics are the same on a technical level, it probably will feel a bit different.
Again, they aren't different, but only technically.
I'm not too sure as I haven't played the game but weren't there a bunch of spoilers in there? Especially due to the short length of the game thatd suck for ppl who came in here trying to know which version to play
There TECHNICALLY are, and I apologize for spoiling the game! However, only one segment of the game is spoiled and I feel like there's still plenty of secrets hidden in Cave Story. Really, you'd be amazed how much there is to spoil about the game, haha.
I'm sorry for ruining any experience you have with the game because of my video! Please forgive me as I didn't even consider there would be newcomers to the game after so long! I still hope you enjoy the game!
the port that introduced me to cave story was the roblox one lol
Lmaooo that's very funny, haha. I'm glad the port is kinda poppin off!
@@mafialuciano same
For me, my favorite version of Cave Story is the one I made for myself on PC, where I took pictures from the Nintendo Switch version via the Data file, and with the doukutsu-rs remaster, it became something very wonderful 😉🙂
Just found your channel yesterday and your opinions are top tier. 3ds Eshop Cave Story ftw
I appreciate this a ton! I don't really have an "upload schedule", but I've been wanting to make Cave Story content for years! I am working on the next one already, with more to come after that, but no promises on the dates.
AND HELL YEAH 3DS ESHOP IS THE BEST.
cave story 3D is so hot
n o
Y E S
n o
Cool video dude, very informative
thanks so much! I try to be and will do my best on future cave story video essays :D
I started playing the game last year to know what all the hype was about.
Cave 3d is better if you love the 3D feature. Really separates the background and foreground.
The 3D feature is very fun, haha. It is pretty neat to see rivers in Mimiga Village flow from the background to foreground and small stuff like that...but it doesn't redeem CS3D for me, haha. It is pretty neat, though!
@@Nerdieo 3d includes classic mode too I believe
Classic Mode is cool, but still doesn't change the lighting problem and sometimes the spritework just doesn't fit in the remade world, but I would definitely only play CS3D with classic mode activated
The Game was a Killer App for all platforms like Doom did and possibly one of the best to just play on any platform.
This is cool. I didn't know someone else made a cave story video on each port. :)
I'm trying to make a video on EVERYTHING Cave Story, haha. Thankfully, some community members are helping me with future videos, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!
@@Nerdieo Nice. I wish you the best. I decided to stop my video reviews at just the games.
I'm gonna look at your merch video next.
I hope you enjoy it!! I'd love to check out your reviews later today!! More Cave Story content makes me happy lmaoo
Kinda wish they made another Cave Story 3D port for Steam with better lighting and graphics that makes the original so much harder to play.
I got Cave Story 3D (for 16 dollars with the special Holographic card on eBay) and I don't consider it bad but not as good... I prefer the Pixel sprites instead that 3D but isn't horrible in my opinion
Recently, a 60FPS mod came out for Cave Story 3D and it makes the game quite a bit more bearable to play, but all my complains still stand, haha. I'm glad you enjoyed it though!
my first time playing Cave Story was Cave Story 3D and it's not that bad tbh but I agree that the regular 3DS version and CS Plus are way better versions of the game to play, especially now a days
The first version that a played and beat was the psp homebrew. It's just sooooo good for a homebrew for psp.
That port is genuinely amazing, haha. I'll have to make a video on unofficial ports one day!!
My first was the original freeware windows version, then the cse2 nds port
slice of life improvements :)
I KNOW I'M A WEEB I MEANT QUALITY LMAOOOOO
@@Nerdieo Been there lmao, I noticed that it's one of your older ones so it definitely adds to the charm
I appreciate this so much omg you have no clue haha
the Wii demo was my first but then I found the freeware version and PSP version
The WiiWare version was also my first!! I love it a ton, haha, but basically only for nostalgia reasons now!
Curly looks off because of her right eyelash. Took me about 10 seconds, but I think that’s it. I know it’s common in anime for brows and lashes to show through hair, but at that low of resolution, I think they (he) should have stuck closer to the original look and just let the hair cover the eye a bit.
Took me longer to notice, but I’m also not super satisfied with the mouth. Might be the biggest change to how you feel when you see her. I mean it’s OK… but maybe a more neutral expression would be better given the heavy moods at certain points… (like remove the bottom two black squares, and perhaps use a lighter color… if you must include a mouth).
I got cave story+ as part of Epics free game giveaways but for some reason couldn't get the game to recognize my gamepad. I thought about getting the switch version but it's 30 dollars 😬 I'll stick to the 3ds eshop version instead. I also have the dsi version and 3d on the same 3ds 😅 this is still my go to game
The 3DS is my personal favorite port!! I also claimed the game for free and I will take every port I possibly can
Hey Nerdieo, have you thought of livestreaming some of your cave story gameplay? After all, you have to get this gameplay somehow and I would LOVE to see you play it!
Maybe I'll stream in the near future, but nothing planned or promised!! I'd love to try it again!!
Okey so there's a good version on the 3DS that isn't the 3D remake. I'll play that one then. Thanks for the warning about the 3D version!
No problem!! AND YES, THE 3DS ESHOP PORT IS AMAZING, I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT!!
I played the homebrew sega genesis port and completed it through the sega genesis collection on steam through the mods section
This sounds amazing, haha
1:10 That explanation makes absolutely no technical sense whatsoever.
It's an official one from Daisuke Amaya himself. Also, you have to keep in mind that the technology in 2004 wasn't really made for anything like motion interlopation back then, so forcing a 50FPS game to run at 60FPS can definitely cause problems. Even nowadays, the Cave Story+ ports don't run a perfect 1:1 because of they run 60FPS. The game is about 20% faster and much morr strict purely off this change alone. Yes, it's entirely possible, but excuse my poor explanation. I tried putting it into layman's terms for my video
@@Nerdieo It sounds like he didn’t explain himself properly or something was badly lost in translation. There is no practical reason I can think of to program your game to run at 50fps. The vast majority of monitors run at 60hz as their default refresh rate, and 50fps doesn’t divide evenly into any other standard refresh rate, even higher ones (typically 120hz or 144hz).
Honestly, the most practical reason to make your program run at 50 is if your hardware displays 50. It's not uncommon in Eastern countries for displays to be 50htz, especially in that era. Hell, it wasn't until tech like HDMI and Composite cables that those regions were able to play 60FPS games. For quite some time, 60FPS home gaming was a western exclusive luxury
@@Nerdieo He’s from Japan, they used 60hz displays. You’re thinking of PAL displays.
@@gamingblowsofficial Honest mistake. Either way, while it could be lost in translation, it is an officially translated interview from Nicalis. Not sure why they'd distrubute inaccurate responses, but it certainly wouldn't be farfetched.
This guy's cybershell but instead of sonic its cavestory
This is the best compliment I could've ever recieved
i don’t understand why u skipped going over the switch version considering how it adds water physics and a co-op mode, like for a channel that largely just covers cave story related things - it’s one thing to not cover some of the interesting unofficial ports (which you probably shouldn’t have done anyway) but to skip over the most recent release is just really silly to me lol
Simply put it, an oversight as this was one of my first videos covering Cave Story in this manner. If I could, I'd redo the entire video, but digital footprints are a b*tch
worth mentioning the new soundtrack by Ridiculon in the switch ver goes so hard if u like guitar and drums
The Ridiculon version is a very interesting take on the soundtrack and I love it for that, but a lot of these songs were not meant for guitar and drums, haha. Ridiculon is great for maybe a couple tracks at most, but guitar and drums aren't really the best for songs like Quiet or Balcony
to save toroko, look up the 4th ending mod and play it
I already know about 4th Ending, haha. I love 4th ending, but an official way would always be better
5:40 I see what you did there.
UM BUT YOU FORGOT THE SEGA GENESIS ONE
You're not wrong, but this video was only meant to cover OFFICIAL ports of the game! The SEGA Genesis port was done by fans!
@@Nerdieo it's official in my heart :(
sanctuary time attacks at school
I did the same thing lol, but i played the original PC version on the school computers
It was the perfect game to drag around on a USB, haha
I like PSP port. As i remember this port is official
PSP port is not official, haha. Nicalis has only ever ported CS to Nintendo consoles and PC
bro didn't even mention the psp version
Bro didn't watch my video. It's only official versions, not fanports or homebrew ports
would love a list of unofficial ports
One day!!
Only Cave Story
yes
Roblox does not count ☠️
Thank you lol
There’s a Calculator port too. Nspire
I'm aware, but this video was just OFFICIAL ports, as I state in the video!
i could have sworn there was an original xbox version
What about the flash version?
This is only official versions, not fan-made recreations or unofficial ports. I state this in the beginning of the video!
ok bro
I love Cave story 3D because it was bad looking 😂
make a video about the different ports of yunk it 5
I'm sorry?
@@Nerdieo yunk it 5 was ported to a ton of different consoles each port with their own quirks i think it would be an interesting video
Maybe one day, haha, but as of right now, I'm just doing Cave Story/Personal Interest content. I love the interest, though!!
Cave story on any ds RIP your thumbs and just literally your hands in general
As someone who has played it countless times, yeah just play console or PC, haha
SPOILER AT 1:59 WATCH OUT
1:59 Nerdieo! HaydenStudios made a Happy 4th Ending Mod. I suggest you see that video before you get the mod if you haven't played it already.
OF COURSE I'VE SEEN IT IT'S THE BIGGEST DUPE IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF CAVE STORY
@@Nerdieo Yeah, but at least it features an ending that some people (such as me) wanted, especially since Toroko is my favorite character in the game. I personally see it as nothing more than an add-on.
I know it does, haha, I was saying I've known about it for years now
@@Nerdieo Nice!
I was first introduced to this game through the Wii Demo version.
The WiiWare version changed the game, haha, I found it the same way!
All possible because of NXEngine :)
REALLY wish i spent my money on the switch version of CS+. i know it doesnt seem like it but theres a LOT of differences between the PC and switch ports. first off, you cant hold multiple puppies at once, or jellyfish juices. You can't play in widescreen (this is a feature i DESPERATELY WANT). There's no cool lighting. There's no jukebox. There's no Sand pit. Half the shit that's in CS+ for the switch inexplicably isn't in the Steam version.
I realized the differences after making the video, sadly, haha. All the new improvements really just felt so natural when playing the game, it's kinda crazy! I would highly recommend playing it any way possible, it's great.
We have it for ps vita?
Not officially!
Was hoping you would talk about cave story MD for the mega drive/Genesis. Not sure if that was Ported before you made this video though
I mentioned that I'd only be mentioning the official ports, I'll gladly make an UN-official ports video if you'd like!!
@@Nerdieo yea that would be great!
I'll keep it noted!! I'm actually editting a video as I type this and I'm working on the script for one after that, but I love taking video suggestions!!
This year it got ported to PS1
It's been ported to a lot of things, but these are only the official ports!
@@Nerdieo I thought it was official, some indie devs release their games officially in discontinued platforms like Retro City Rampage and Shakedown Hawai being both ported officially to the Wii in 2020, and along the Wii port they also ported Retro City to MS DOS of all places, also the Shantae devs releasing a new Shantae game to current platforms such as Switch, PS5 and PC, but to the GBA along them, or how about a not so indie game being McDonalds making an official game for the Gameboy Color for the Grimmace Birthday trend, there's many examples of that
@CrocoDylianVT I appreciate the devs for doing this, especially all their other works, including the Cave Story port of they managed it, but I simply describe "Official" via community definition. "Official" ports are any ports managed by Pixel himself or Nicalis, who "officially" own Cave Story. Sorry for any confusion!!
Cave story has as many offical ports as mc.
Almost, honestly, haha. Maybe with time
