After many speculations about Pixel's Cave Story, Variant Game Studios has finally confirmed that they are currently developing the game for the PSP. The game will have the same story and features as that of the original game. To those who aren't familiar with Cave Story, it's about a young boy, who has no memory of who he is. He found himself in an underground cavern wherein he meet a resident of a town of rabbit-like creatures called Mimigas. The Mimigas' name is Sue. Together, they try to save the Mimigas from the mad Doctor's evil experiments.

Cave Story debuted as a freeware sidescrolling adventure game for the PC. The PSP game features a vast, adventure-filled area where characters have multiple endings and lots of items and weapons to acquire. Variant  also released the official box art of the game as featured here.

We wonder if people who have downloaded the free game would be willing to pay for a PSP version. We'll find out when the game is released in 2007.
