You'll have probably heard of Cave Story+ before, if not from its highly-rated reviews on Steam, then definitely from the original Cave Story which released in 2004.

Cave Story+ is an enhanced edition of Cave Story which released on PC in 2011 and on Nintendo 3DS in 2012. In it, you wake up in a dark cave with no memory of who you are or how you got there. Despite your personal dilemma, however, it's up to you to save the people of Mimiga Village from a maniacal scientist.

This charming indie title still has plenty of elements reminiscent of 8-bit and 16-bit games. With 15 levels to explore, 10 unique weapons, over 20 boss battles, four unique endings, and lots more, this game is going to be a welcome addition to the Switch family.

Cave Story+ is coming to the Switch on June 20th 2017, in both physical and digital editions.
