"Cave Story," an old-school 2D platformer created and produced by Daisuke "Pixel" Amaya, is one of gaming's biggest indie success stories.
But Amaya hasn't seen a dime from his work on "Cave Story." He released the game as freeware on the PC. Once people fell in love, they started porting "Cave Story" to others platforms - PSP, Mac, everything.
There had been no movement on producing a proper port of "Cave Story" until Nicalis Inc. head honcho Tyrone Rodriguez decided to make Pixel a pitch.

Alex S. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Last week we took a look at ten games that, while great in their own right kind of represented what most people think of when they think of DSiWare; small games that offer fun, but limited experiences. And while that's definitely a defining feature of DSiWare games the service was also home to some surprisingly deep experiences that you can take on the go. And that's really what defines the best games for the service, games that went above and beyond what people expected from it."
Starting today, Cave Story+ is free at Epic Games Store. The free game offer runs until December 10 at 11 AM Eastern. Once you claim it, it’s yours to keep.
don't do it unless you want epic spamming adds at you while you try to enjoy your game.
Seems interesting, Megaman 9 may be part of the retro-revolution but the revolution is yet to see a figure head.
I don't see the point in this, to be honest. I'm more inclined to find out Pixel's paypal account and give him some money for the freeware version on the PC.
