Gametrailers Video Footage–Yes the Audio is WIP How Cave Story Came to WiiWare @ MTV.com
Oct 15

I was planning on updating the blog with a comparison a week. I’ll be in transit this Friday to Kyoto so this week’s comparo comes a little early. Amaya’s new version of King obviously has more detail so now you can see a bit more of a frown as well as his mouth and whiskers. It still uses the original palette, we just have more pixels to work with. He definitely looks a lot closer to the in-game portrait now.

    Ah, MUCH more detail in the newer model compared to that of Toroko’s transition. Awesome job, Pixel!
    And finally, he has a robe like he does in the end credits!

    King looks a lot better now.

    I think he looked a bit too pissed off in the original sprites.

    Oh, also, would the next comparison happen to be Quote? The videos posted so far don’t really do the art justice.

    I saw this in programming and shouted “Yes!” in the middle of class, thankfully the only person who heard me is also a cave story fan. Looking forward to more updates! (I like how you kept the same colour scheme)

    I wasn’t too big on the Toroko sprite, she looked too chubby, but this one looks great!

    Keep going, you guys are great!
