For those of you who don't know, Doukutsu Monogatari I.E. Cave Story is being remade on the PSP by a group of developers known as Variant. Thankfully, they are experienced cell-phone game developers so they know how to work with handheld programming. The remake features sharper, hi-res graphics, music that takes advantage of the PSP's sound chip, and better sound effects as well as a more western friendly dialog that isn't filled with unintentional non-sequiters like the fan-translated game had. In addition, the original game is included complete with limited color palette and odd sound effects. Let's all give a Balrog battlecry "HUZZAH!"
For those who haven't played it, Cave Story is a very addictive freeware metroid style action platformer game. It's pretty awesome and features a corny but loveable story. It's free and higher quality than most games released today so give it a spin here: http://www.gameflaws.com/cavestory/
The release date for the remake is slated 2007.

This has me more excited than the Land Stalker remake. Cave Story was a great game but it's primitive graphics, interface, digitized music, and odd jump height bogged it down a little bit.
