I doubt that anyone here HASN'T heard of this game, but just in case here's a short description:

Cave Story is retro-styled action-adventure-platformer-metroidish game. In it you play as a robot with

amnesia and go through cave after cave and watch the story unfold.

 

The game's been released and rereleased various times. It started as a freeware PC game, then was ported to WiiWare with updated graphics and music, then was ported to DSiWare without any extra features but a speedrun challenge for a level, then then was re-ported to PC with the same new graphics and music from the WiiWare version plus new game modes, then was REMADE in 2.5D for the 3DS, then the original version was ported to the 3DS eShop with some of the features of the WiiWare version. Needless to say, this game's had a lot of ports.

 

I freaking love Cave Story. I own both the original freeware version and the PC re-port, and I'd like to check out the 3DS version.

 

I've beaten the game about 5 times since my discovery of it last month. There are so many factors that keep me coming back. Some people think Cave Story's overrated, but I really think not. Ingenious level design, fantastic music, lovely retro graphics (made even better with the double-resolution graphics from the WiiWare port), and freaking fun gameplay. Oh, and the story. The story is great. It all unfolds in the most interesting of ways, starting relatively simple and over time turning into something actually pretty deep. It's not called Cave STORY for nothing.

 

I really MUST recommend this game. It's one of the best things I've discovered in a while. Check out the original freeware version then get the Steam version. It's worth it.
