Glad to see that they're indeed confirming this great title coming to PSP. =) It's great they'll be updating the graphics, but it's even better that they're including the original, unmodified version. ^^ (As far as i'm concerned anyway)

yeah, the hell ending pissed me off. Couldn't pass it :(.
If it came out on PSP I will buy it for sure. A homebrew version would have been possible, though. This is sort of old news though.

Theres already a nice cover and summary. Found it like a year ago :P.

So Pixel's getting money for this...that's good. But what's going on as far as the translation? Remember that Cave Story was originally Japanese-only, and can only be played in English thanks to the efforts of Aeon Genesis Translations. Will Aeon Genesis' translation be used for this port (and consequently, will they be paid for it) or is Variant Interactive going to re-translate the game for their port?

It would be nice if Aeon Genesis got royalties (they made a fantastic translation), but I wouldn't be surprised if Variant did their own. The business side of things always suck.
In fact, I'm kinda disappointed there isn't more apparent effort to "add" to the game. The updated graphics are a plus (as long as the retro "cuteness" is somehow maintained -- that's part of the game's entire appeal), but maybe some more secret areas, optional side-quests, etc. could be added. I know that Pixel has pretty much put the game behind him now, so I don't honestly expect any of these things to become reality.
This entire effort is one big balancing act between the opportunity to add improvements and the preservation of what many already consider gaming perfection.

» When freeware games go commercial..
Just strikes me as kind of a *****ty concept...I'm sure if it's a first on the PSP, it's still not the first time it's happened, though I can't think of another example...A game that's been around for a while and available for FREE on your PC is going to come out on a UMD that'll likely cost a minimum of 20 USD? YAY! Someone should bust out a homebrew version of this...Shoot, y'know, I haven't checked gp32x or whatever, in a while, maybe there's already a version out there for that...

» Freeware games HAVE gone successfully commercial.
Every Extend is a free PC homebrew game. It got picked up by Q, and is now a fantastic PSP game.
