Cave Story was a S+ ranked Indie game way before it. Not only that, but the developer of Cave Story made it without any money, did it during his free time(alone), and made it free. Cave Story to me will always be the golden ticket of Indie games. Games will be close, but most will fall short in some way. |
The crazy thing is this game is still home console and handheld exclusive to Nintendo yet Nintendo hasn't tried to market this game at all during the recent indie boom. If I was Nintendo, I would negotiate with the creator to make more games for them and fund all of them if they continue to be as sucessful as Cavestory.
