It’s not a “land” in any reasonable sense of the word. “Grasstown” was so named because the whole area is grassy, and that there are a couple mimigas living out there. So when I load the game up and see things have been changed around for no clearly defined reason, I turn up my nose at it. But it had a unique charm to it that I grew to love, possibly as a by-product to growing to love the actual game at the same time. Granted, Cave Story‘s only available English up to this point has been a fan translation, and it’s not like the fan translation was spectacular writing. Neither am I a fan of the new translation. (And no, it doesn’t say much about the quality of a port when your favorite feature is the ability to turn the upgrades off.) In any case, you can play the game with the upgraded sound and visuals turned off, if that’s your pleasure. This is one of the things I was looking forward to most about this port. I wish I could hear what the remixes are supposed to sound like. I’ve read this is not the composer’s fault the dudes in charge of the port managed to screw up the implementation of the new tunes. If you have heard Cave Story‘s soundtrack before it will actively piss you off. If you’ve never heard Cave Story‘s soundtrack before it will just sound like a random muddle of notes. It’s not the game I’m bellyaching about… it’s everything else.
#CAVE STORY BUSHLANDS PC#
It’s the same game I’ve been playing on my PC since 2004, and I’m glad I can play it on my TV now. To hammer the point home: the game itself is fine. That said, outside of this version of Cave Story being Cave Story, and Cave Story being awesome, this version is pretty bad. Slap some Wii Points on the table and never look back. If you have a Wii, and you have twelve bucks, you should buy it immediately. So: this game is amazing and it is twelve bucks on your Wii. It occupies a spot in the upper echelons of sidescrollers along with classics like Super Mario World, new favorites like Mega Man 9… heck, I’ll even put it up next to my beloved Super Metroid. Forget all this talk about what a “great indie game” it is it is a fantastic game period. Let me preface this post by saying: I love Cave Story.
