To be honest you can get Cave Story for free already since it's open source and in many distro repos. Also I think the publishers kinda ripped off the original creator so the guy who actually put the work making this masterpiece isn't getting anything

I love cave story but cs+ plays better and has many more creature comforts than the original. I'd never encourage someone to buy it over the original, but at the low price of free, vs. an already free game it's hard to say "play the original." You're right that the original dev got fucked over by Nicalis but my understanding for free games on services like this is the devs get a big lump sum from epic or Amazon or whoever else is distributing them and they move on. In that case, they already have their payday so why not just take advantage of that to play one of the most important indie games ever made with like. Remappable controls and actual 60fpa (the original ran at 50 lol)
Amazing game. I'd recommend it for everyone.
Wow, I remember playing this waaaaaay back in the day on PC. And then I heard it was coming to the 3ds and got it there.
duplicate?
Yes, from December 2020.
Doesn't appear to be, at least from Beehaw's perspective. It's possible you saw another post on a separate instance, as it was crossposted to several instances.
Oh no I meant the game was already given for free in the past
