Cave Story 3D is one of those games that makes me bang my head against my desk, dreading the fact I do not currently own a North American 3DS. Either way, Nippon Ichi Software America have announced that their newest release, Cave Story 3D – a port and remake of the original Cave Story side-scrolling platformer is now shipping to online and store retailers across North America.

Be warned that unless you own a Nintendo 3DS console from North America, region locks will not permit you to play a purchased copy of the game – thus why I will not be bringing you a review of the game until a currently unannounced ANZ version of the game is released.

Cave Story 3D is a side scrolling action adventure game inspired by the fan-favorite 2D original. Now in a full 3D world, Cave Story takes the proven 2D action, exploration into stereoscopic awesomeness. You wake up in a cave with no idea who you are or where you came from, but you know you must help a cute race of rabbit-like creatures beat the crap out of some crusty old doctor.

As you advance through the game, you’ll learn the origin of the Mimiga world and even your own. Like the critically acclaimed Pixel masterpiece, Cave Story 3D is a combination of high-speed shooting action scenes with heavy emphasis on platforming, exploration, light puzzle solving as well as a deep storyline.
