Cave Story 3D slides back to November

With today’s announcement that Cave Story 3D has been pushed back to November 8 in the United States, the holiday season for 3DS owners gets that much busier. Why the delay? “Additional game improvements.”

“We are currently undergoing improvements to enhance gameplay,” says NIS America producer Jack Niida. “Changes are in the small details, but in order to satisfy both the fans and the new players we need to make sure the game is done right.”

Can’t say I’m too bummed given the nature of the delay, but I was really looking forward to playing this before the end of the year. Ah well. Enjoy these newest screenshots while you’re here.
