Quote's hat says "Curly Brace" on it, IIRC.

Prinny and Cave Story shenanigans are afoot
The image pretty much says it all; Prinny from the Disgaea and Prinny games is wearing the "Curly Brace" hat from Cave Story, and that gun and that scarf look quite Cave Story-styled as well. Other that, we have no idea what's going on here, and you know what means -- time for baseless speculation! With the 3DS and the NGP coming soon, it's possible that this image is a tease for a new Cave Story and/or Prinny project for one of those consoles. It could also be something for XBLA and/or PSN, as fans have been quite vocal about wanting Cave Story on one or both of those two platforms. Then there's the fact that hackers have had Cave Story running on the PSP for years now, and NIS is quite the prolific PSP publisher, which has me thinking that an official retail PSP port of Cave Story could be incoming. I've contacted Nicalis (Cave Story's publisher) and NIS (Disgaea's publisher) for comment, but as you might expect, both companies have declined to release any additional info at this time, though Nicalis has promised me that whatever is going on here will be awesome, and that they'll tell me more as soon as they can. I guess it goes without saying that I'm excited as f*ck. NIS America is definitely teasing something Cave Story related [GoNintendo] Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)I guess I can continue holding out on WiiWare Cave Story for the time being. How big was that version, anyway? Would be great if they can fit that same quality on the minis program. Saw this on Tumblr yesterday and thought it was just really good fanart, guess I was wrong. I'm pretty damn curious of what it means though. I actually just downloaded (three days ago) and started playing Cave Story (on my DSiXL) for the very first time. So far it's been really great and I can see why so many people love this game.
I can't wait to see what Nicalis and NIS have up their sleeves. Love it! Way too many people complained about Prinny's difficulty, but I found the Hero Prinny to actually be more formidable than most platformer heroes once you get his skills down. Prinny 1 and 2 really weren't that hard. Cave Story was also obviously incredible. If this is a Cave Story project going to the NGP or basically anything non-Nintendo, you'll be able to find me in a corner crying.
Also, rad art. Haha, it does look awesome. It wouldn't make that much sense to me, though, for NIS and Nicalis to get together to publish Cave Story on other systems when Nicalis didn't have any problem getting it onto Nintendo's downloadable systems. So, very bizarre crossover? This is very exiting as I'm a big fan of Cave Story and the Prinny psp games. The crossover possibilities are getting me giddy. Might be cool, but I can't shake the feeling that it's just going to be a prinny character skin for cave story. Never cared about Disgaea, but fuck yes to Cave Story.
@thesquidflu Quote's hat says "Curly Brace" on it, IIRC. It would be awesome if Pixel teamed up with NIS to create a sequel to Cave Story with a bigger budget, not for better graphics, but for a game twice as big.
