Cave Story DSiWare delay explained

Publisher plans to re-submit this month.

More than a year after it was released in the US and Japan, there's still no sign of a European release for the DSiWare port of revered indie platformer Cave Story.

Why? According to a post on publisher Nicalis' Twitter feed yesterday, because it failed its Nintendo Europe submission thanks to "some really minor crap with the manual".

If you're desperate for a handheld version of Pixel's 2004 DIY touchstone, there's always the recent 3DS remake.

"Cave Story 3D adds detail and depth, reimagining the characters and world in a much more rounded and solid state," read Eurogamer's 8/10 Cave Story 3D review.
