Cave Story looks well beyond most 8bit games with its original graphics, nevermind the redone stuff for the WiiWare version. Awesome retro type pixel art isn't necessarily 8bit people... MegaMan 9 and 10 are 8bit:


No comparison... Gameplay is more complex than most as well. I dunno why people make NES comparisons and not SNES at least, though it looks better than most of Super Metroid as well (more the environments than the characters which are smaller in Cave Story I guess, but really art style wins here, Super Metroid is crude by comparison), while your character is also more agile having a more modern feel to his movements (not quite Metal Slug agility, but close enough I guess) than such games. Why's it cool to say 8bit, not 16+?

8-bit is better.

Gaming is an art form, anyone that doesn't agree to that is some old fart that doesn't know better. 

 Define art.  Then define game.

I'm gonig to pass.  I think I'll get enough out of the original DS-Korg. Plus I don;t have a DSi yet.

If you've already got it and don't have a dsi then not much point. Like I said it makes the process a bit more streamlined, but without dsi doesn't do much else. If you're really serious about it what you'd do is get the dsi, korg+ and connect it with your DS. That would leave you with 6 sytnhs and 3 drum machines!

is it based on different korg synths/drum machines or does it just have more features?  i wish they would do DS versions of more of them. those things have become impossible to afford

Based on the same synth. The main feature is basically you get 4 synths and 2 drum machines instead of 2 and 1.

Also, it's just so amazing how a 16 year old game has a more immersive atmosphere than 98% of all the current gen games out today!

And there he goes again. King of Hyperbole.

Well, it does!

Dead Space is nothing compared to the 16-bit masterpiece that is Super Metroid!!!

"The PlayStation Move is going to allow developers to immerse gamers into a world that simply is not possible on the Wii. The Wii is an impressive console, but it can never deliver lifelike graphics like those found on rival consoles. MadWorld and No More Heroes  are clear examples of how developers, who wish to target the mature audience, must do so at the limitations of the Wii, which typically result in cartoonish style environments. Unfortunately, as gamers we simply are not buying it (figuratively and literally).

I fully enjoyed Ping Pong with the Wii MotionPlus, but there was an additional element of excitement playing nearly the same game on the PlayStation Move. The PS3 version removed the Miis and had richer graphics, and it just felt more mature; it felt like something I wouldn’t be embarrassed playing when my friends come over, which is why my favorite feature of the PlayStation Move has nothing to do with the peripheral itself, but rather the console it is designed for. And that is one of the reasons the PlayStation Move will succeed, because it does evolve motion based gaming – maybe not from a technical perspective, but it certainly allows developers to introduce motion based gaming into environments not capable on the Wii." - Jesse Divnich, VP of Analyst Services at Electronic Entertainment Design and Research
