Japanese indie adventure Cave Story has seen a lot of iterations over the years with relatively straight ports on WiiWare and DSiWare, a full 3D remake on 3DS, and a spruced up Steam release with extra content called Cave Story+. This final - and arguably definitive - rendition of Cave Story was released on 3DS in North America way back in October 2012 (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-09-17-cave-storys-retrofitted-3ds-version-coming-to-the-eshop-in-october), but its European version has been MIA for a year and a half. Now, publisher Nicalis has revealed on Twitter (https://twitter.com/nicalis/status/456851812801183744) that the long delayed product will reach European shores on 1st May.The publisher later noted (https://twitter.com/nicalis/status/456906976853630976) that it will release pricing details next week.When asked about an Australian release, Nicalis said that it had received a rating by the OFLC (https://twitter.com/nicalis/status/457012192181616640), Australia's rating board, and that it will eventually go to that territory at an unannounced time.Cave Story on 3DS includes a new Wind Fortress stage as well as a host of graphical improvements over its DSiWare counterpart like support for widescreen, higher resolutions, and of course, it will actually use the handheld's 3D effect.
