One of my favourite downloadable titles of last year was the WiiWare version of ‘Cave Story’. Rather than try and explain the bonkers plot, have a look here for a better explanation – although it contains heavy spoilers. The good news is that Cave Story is heading to the 3DS with a “from scratch” remake, with full 3D environments (whilst keeping the 2D scrolling gameplay).
An example of the visual upgrade that is trying to be achieved can be found below; the first screen is from the remake, whilst the second is from the original.
I can’t wait to have a go on this and see how the 3D can be incorporated.

Sounds like a perfect fit for the 3D functions and the handheld market.
