Cave Story 3D for the Nintendo 3DS is now shipping across North America to Gamestop and other retailers. Cave Story 3D is a side scrolling action adventure game inspired by the fan-favorite 2D original indie game. Now in a full 3D world, Cave Story takes the 2D action and exploration into stereoscopic territory of the 3DS. Much like the original, the game opens with you waking up in a cave with no idea who you are or where you came from. All you do know is that you must help a cute race of rabbit-like creatures beat the crap out of some crusty old doctor.

As you advance through the game, you’ll learn the origin of the Mimiga world and even your own identity. Like the original, Cave Story 3D is a combination of high-speed shooting action scenes with heavy emphasis on platforming, exploration, light puzzle solving as well as a deep storyline.

Look for it wherever decent 3DS games are sold.
