Cave Story is coming to the 3DS

12.02.2011
At their annual press event, publisher NIS America announced that the indie hit Cave Story would be released for the Nintendo 3DS handheld. On hand was Daisuke Ayama, creator of Cave Story, and Tyrone Rodriguez of developer Nicalis who will be handling development duties.

Details are few and far between at this point--there wasn't even a release date announced--but the presentation did feature several screenshots and target renders of the environments and character models, which we've embedded below for your viewing pleasure.

Cave Story has already garnered an audience thanks to successful versions on both the PC and the WiiWare service, but the 3D feature might be enough to convince even old fans to revisit the title when it releases on the 3DS.

We'll have more details about the game as soon as they're made available.
