Cave Story 3D coming to Europe this summer

cavestory3D_1

NIS America has announced it’s to bring over Cave Story 3D to Europe this summer for 3DS. An exact date wasn’t confirmed, though. It comes as a US release date was announced yesterday as June 28. The platformer launched on PC back in 2004 before making its way to WiiWare and DSiWare, the latter version having not launched in Europe.

Cave Story 3D given June release date

CaveStoryQuote

Cave Story’s WiiWare edition may have taken its sweet time on the launch pad, but the little-platformer-that-could’s 3DS conversion seems to be making up for that in a big way. Speaking with Siliconera, NIS America pegged the game with a June 28 release date. Pretty snappy, seeing as Cave Story 3D was only announced a couple months ago.

If the words “Cave Story” and “3D” aren’t enough to coax your wallet out of its dark, lint-ridden lair, then grab a soul and check out this trailer.

CaveStoryQuote

Nicalis has seen fit to give us a quick glimpse of Cave Story’s bigger, better, fortunately-not-badass 3DS remake, and it’s got adorable quirk to spare.

We can pretty much guarantee this is the best video you’ll see all week of angry toaster man-related hijinks. And if it’s not? Well, we’d very much like to know what videos you’re watching. For, er, professional reasons. Check out the full teaser after the break.
