The creator of Cave Story! ^^

yep!

Good game HUZZAH!!!!

I never knew what they were saying because of some unicode stuff

so the text didnt work?

Yes, the text didn't work, but that's the old PC version I am talking about. I am sure I had something that should have been installed in order to see the text properly. I can't even read Japanese in the first place
I managed to get far in the game, though

So freakin' adorable!!!!! :D

So cute! X3

Is this a kitty octopus? I love it!

no idea! some manner of squid. thanks!

I'd rather it be a kitty octopus, so I'm sticking with that.

At first I was reminded of Kirby. Pretty cute in any case. :D

oh thanks, right when i finally got the "Swim Ikachan" theme out of my head you drag me back in <3

This is adorable. Whatever it is, I want it. <3

Cute

Ohh!

I remember watching the playthroughs by Raocow, and it was quite short.

never played so i have no idea!

Wait, are you the one who actually made this?? They DID use it as the title screen!
It hasn't been the first time Nicalis has used fan creations or Nintendo ports of Pixel's games.
They used this song here as the channel preview music for the wiiware version of Cave Story: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AQ9YlWIfNQ

Oh, and it is only on the 3DS eshop. It was planned to be on dsiware, but they just ported it over to 3DS. I say it was a good choice.

yep!! im glad people can see it on the title screen. i was paid specifically to make it : >

Oh awesome, you're the one who made this! :D

Oh, you made art for a new Ikachan game? That's so rad! I played the original from the Cave Story site. I didn't know there was a new one in the works.

Regardless, this is really cute!

thank you, I'm glad you like it! I don't think there is a new one, unless there is? I just did the cover art for a port : >

By "new Ikachan game," I guess I meant this port. I don't have a DSi, haha. X3

haha thats ok! I dont have one either XD (and only just got a 3DS today...)

i never thought i'd see this on here, you did a amazing job on this! i personally love seeing this every time i go to play some Ikachan on the 3ds, it always makes me smile. :3

Huh... I didn't know you did this, I was pretty surprised to see the artist of a game that's a Nintendo port on this site.

You drew that!? Wow, that's quite nice.

I downloaded the game last night. I had got two $10 cash cards for my 3DS and I bought the Mii Plaza bundle and had a little left over, about 4.19. I wanted to download a nice theme plus this game, but then I noticed the tax for each was 11 cents, paired with the fact that they were both 1.99, that left me ONE PENNY SHY of being able to buy the game and a theme that I liked. (I could have settled for the Persona Q or Gunvolt themes, but I didn't really want them. I'd rather have a cute Slowpoke or Mable Able theme). I ultimately got this game because I realized the themes would still be 1.99 the next time I check, but the game was only 1.99 till Monday. It's cute and kind of fun, but also a bit simple. Still it doesn't seem to be a pushover.

Honestly, after playing it the whole way through, I thought the game was way too short to justify paying ANY amount of money for it. There's really no replay value to it, and it's only an hour long. I got it for a deal and I still feel a bit ripped off by how short it was.

...But this drawing is still very cute. :)
