BEST GAME EVER!!!!!

^ Have a wallpaper for posting about this.

I would say to check the archive for threads already posted, but...
Admittedly, the first thread of this topic was old and nobody responded to it.

OTL

Anyway, Cave Story was a fantastic game. It exceeded expectations greatly - I thought it was going to be a very simple game, but it expanded into something pretty great. Fun gameplay, a better story than I would have predicted, and to top it off, wonderful 8-bit soundtrack.

Out of curiosity - have you beaten Sacred Grounds?

I LOVE CAVE STORY !

The first time I played this, I didn't know about the whole saving-Curly thing, and ended up feeling like an asshole when that shutter closed. Second time I wasn't able to restore her memory. Damn you, Pixel, why make it so hard to save the sidekick?

I know, I did the same thing.

It was all worth it when you got to duo the crap out of Sacred Grounds though. Picture related.

Just started playing this game, seems pretty cool so far. Does the story expand a lot? I like games with a rich back story :)

It expands, depending on your in-game choices, but there isn't much in terms of BACKstory.

>>7 Cool, I guess it'll be a game with a lot of replay value then, since you can make different choices affecting the story each time you play.

>>2 I have - and it's totally worth it. The best ending may disappoint you if you were expecting something very epic, but it's acutally kinda funny.

Anyway, the real last boss is a pretty hard one. Good thing - find games with real challenges is becoming harder everyday. Even as the fact that after dying you have to restart the Sacred Grounds all over again is the hardest part against it, he still feels a lot like the final bosses from the first Castlevanias.

There are only 4 endings, and you'll have to look up how to get them, or you never will. Especially the best ending. You have to do a lot of unexpected shit for the best ending.

I managed to beat the Sacred Grounds, but it took soooo long to beat it under 6 min. (Kept on dying over and over again, so memorizing helped a lot.) Funny thing is that I beat the main story to Cave Story in about half a day. (Already got normal ending, decided to go for secret ending, so I already knew where to go from my first run.)

Also, Cave Stoyr 3DS? Not entirely sure about that one. I'll stick with the free PC version.

Bumping thread. How do you get that one mushroom when you have to go out with the Mimiga mask? I know where it is, and I know that I need it to save Curly's memory, but I don't know how to actually get it.

bumpin'.

Talk to it until you get the badge, inspect that useless thing, then talk to him again.

Good luck getting the best ending!

buuuuuuuuuump

Does anybody have any tips for the first core fight on Cave Story+ hard mode? I'm starting to think it might be impossible.
