Cave Story already has a pretty damn good soundtrack, but as with all things, it can be improved by being dipped in liquid fire and rendered into heavy metal. Thankfully there's Erik Peabody, who has released his new 7-track album "Made of Metal" upon the world.

From NIS America and original developer Nicalis comes Cave Story 3D, a game that graphically overhauls a title that really needed no graphical overhaul. How'd that work out? Let's take a quick look.

I continue to find myself looking forward to Cave Story 3D on the 3DS—something about the game's look seems like it will really lend itself to both portable play and to the 3DS's screen (and hopefully, controls). In fact, I might just be looking forward to this game more than any other upcoming 3DS title except…

Fan's of Studio Pixel's original sprite-based indie PC hit Cave Story might be put off by the polygon graphics of the 3DS remake. Perhaps the game's 2D sprite mode will make the transition easier.
