The editors liked
Some new additions to the core game
Excellent 3D renditions of backgrounds
Game is still freakin' awesome.
Everything good about the original game is still the same in this version
The updated graphics look amazing on the 3DS screen
The remixed score works extremely well
And helps to set the pacing of the action
Excellent platforming and shooting
Lovely 3D visuals
Quirky
Mysterious story.
New 3D graphics and presentations
Can use 2D character and enemy sprites
Multiple difficulty levels
Multiple endings
Great background music
Lots of weapons to collect and quite a few choices to make. Bottom screen shows the map (when you unlock it) and inventory. Beating the game unlocks a Time Attack mode.
The editors didn't like
Perhaps not enough new stuff to warrant the price
Character models don't look nearly as good as the environments
Some puzzles and ending requirements are difficult to figure out.
No New Gamemode means you start over from scratch every time you finish
Like all 3DS titles
You have to hold it just right to enjoy the 3D fully
No option to switch back to the original
Unmodified soundtrack
Depth and darkness can obscure level details
Little extra content over the original.
Even the easiest difficulty level can be quite hard
Especially since some areas don’t have enough save points. Sometimes jumps and boosts don’t feel as precise if you use the circle pad for controls instead of the D-pad. The DSiware version of Cave Story isn’t included.
Abstract: At first blush, the very idea of Cave Story 3D seems redundant at best, ridiculous at worst. Don't get me wrong; Cave Story itself is a great game. That's the problem. Created almost entirely by a one-man team called Pixel -- a shy, unassuming fellow b...

If you haven't played Cave Story before and want to see what the fuss is about, or are a die-hard fan who needs to have it in every form possible, you simply can't go wrong with Cave Story 3D. But if you're even a little bit on the fence about the pric...
Abstract: I am a huge Cave Story fan. I adored the freeware original on my computer and gladly purchased the Nicalis updated Wiiware port. Yet, when it came to Cave Story 3D , I was skeptical. I was such a fan of its classic, 2D presentation that I seriously wonder...
Ach, was habe ich mich auf „Cave Story 3D“ gefreut. Schließlich zählt das Orignal wohl zu meinen Lieblingsspielen der letzten Jahre. Leider muss ich aber zugeben, dass die 3D-Umsetzung zumindest für mich verlorene Liebesmüh. Nicht nur gefallen mir die ...

Abstract: Så sent som förra vintern fick vi en alldeles förträfflig konvertering av indieälsklingen Cave Story till nedladdningstjänsten WiiWare. Nu är det dags igen, men den här gången rör det sig om mer än en uppiffad version när spelet dyker upp i boxad 3D-utgåv...
