I agree that if they aren't going to add anything whatsoever to the game, it would probably be much better suited for DS. Or more likely, GBA. Touch-screen capabilities not required. I could rant on and on, though, about how there should be a remake... with multiplayer functionality....., and our music.
lol

Maybe they're remaking it?
@corran: Yes, i know the games on PSP are mostly bad, but so are the ones I've seen for DS. I think DS overuses the touch screen. I've seen too many games that use it as a main part of gameplay. It should have just been used to move cursors and stuff.
| Quote: | | Anyway, sorry for the rant. I am a bit jaded about the lack of support for ANY Nintendo console. My local Gamestop has a whole wall for the xbox, and then a little corner about 3 feet wide of new and used Gamecube games. And then there is a big PSP display and then the DS section is facing backwards into a wall on a little stand. Which is awful marketing considering DS is selling so much better than PSP...idiots. |
Yeah, i know. But, you know, i'd rather go to a game store filled with NES, SNES, Genesis, and other classic games rather than DS, GameCube, X-box(360), and PS2, 3 or P. I hate most new games. They replaced good, lengthy, creative gameplay for graphics. Even the music is horrible now (I could've sworn that Mario vs. DK had MIDI songs in it!)

That is why I shop at Rhino's now. Screw Gamestop. I never go there except when I need a new game or to peruse their (small) used DS section.
And yeah, GBA would be a better system for Cave Story. Maybe DS depending on features. |

| Dammit I hate the Guest system. Anyway, also, I think the point of using the touch screen a lot is because it's there to use! A mean, Kirby's Canvas Curse is completely touch screen. I thought I wouldn't like that but actually it's awesome. Not using it at all defeats the purpose...I think there has to be some use of it in every game. |

Hi folks,
I don't mean to interrupt the discussion. I'm the CEO at Variant Interactive, I'm sick at home and was going through all the site referrals on our tracker because I'm stuffed up and bored, and saw this thread.
It's not a hoax, we negotiated with Pixel to get the rights for the game on whatever we felt we could do.
The boxart is legit, yes it was originally fan art but I liked it so much that I struck a deal with Alpha, the artist, so that we could use it.
Anyway. I'm glad to see that there's talk bubbling about what we're doing. I hope it means more people will play Pixel's original masterpiece, it deserves as big an audience as it can get, but hey, I'm preaching to the choir here, huh?
Best,
-cb |

This is rather wacky!
But I am curious.

hey cb! it's pretty cool to hear from you here. be sure to check out the remix project when it's completed 
you're totally right about Cave Story deserving as big an audience as it can get. that's why I'm kinda disappointed that it's only been announced for PSP; I think it'd reach a lot more gamers on the DS platform. of course, it's cool to see Doukutsu getting this sort of attention nonetheless.
anyways, from what I read, you guys are going to give the game's graphics a complete overhaul as well; is this true? how about sound? like Gwilym, I am highly curious!
anyways, get well soon. I've got a cold right now too; it's pretty lame.

| Well if you're actually the CEO, seriously, dual-release it for both systems. DS has sold more handhelds than PSP, and it seems to me this game caters more to the Nintendo crowd (what with the classic graphics and music). Even a dumbed down port would be okay. With the map on the bottom screen? |

We're not very good at thinking cost-effective here, huh? lol, We're talking like we're in the company's meeting room. Seriously though, cb, when do you think we can get some screenshots of the port? And I wasn't sure if I'd looked hard enough, but is there a release date?
(Who am I kidding? He may not even reply.)

Hey guys. I feel terrible, horning in on your forum like this. It was kind of unprofessional of me, and I probably oughtn't have done it.
Aaaanyway, pop by our forum (www.variantinteractive.com) or heck, even the Doukutsu Livejournal community for all the answers you need and then some. The news kind of exploded within the community today, so discussion's been fairly heavy.
My typing's been pretty erratic because of the flu meds, they gave me the shakes (thanks for the well wishes, btw!) so it'd be easier on me personally if y'all went to check out the site and the LJ first.
And I certainly intend to check out the remix project. I love remix projects, I've got this one bookmarked at home. Can't wait! |

Well if you ask me, being part of a video game community is probably the best hobby a video-game designer CEO could possbily pick up. Market research and all that.

We could argue over the authenticity of our mysterious poster all day, all i really know is that he's probably somewhere in michigan from his IP addy.
That being said - i'd like to put our best foot forward and say Thanks for taking a positive interest in the project and laying down some news about the game - we're all die-hard fans of Cave Story and very-much appreciate this sorta stuff, im sure we'll all buy it when/if it is finished best of luck cb.

... Actually nevermind, I'm sure I already begged enough about our music lol. Maybe something like, "Rockstar Custom Tracks" could be incorporated? To play the remixes over the ost? -_-; Yeah, I just might be a lil obsessed.

I don't know about anybody else, but I'm arranging my song to be listening music rather than soundtrack music. It wouldn't work in the game at all.
If I was arranging it to be used in-game, I would've approached it completely differently. Surely I am not alone?
