In my heart he's a BAG because I tough the name BAlroG was a pun about him beign a bag! Also the first time he appears he has a door behind and I at first I though it was an handle!
It's so depressing looking at this video almost 10 years later and learning about how Tyrone Rodriguez and his publisher Nicalis, Inc. have milked Cave Story bone-dry. They've practically snatched the rights to the game with a lot of heart and soul poured into it right out of Daisuke Amaya's hands and now he no longer wants to work with publishers as a result.
@@krunkle5136 I have a friend that worked on music for a game that was meant to be published by Nicalis, Inc. But, now with all this information coming forth about just how unprofessional and detestable Tyrone Rodriguez is, it's really concerning what will happen to this game and any other games that might be waiting for publishing from this company. It'd be kinda embarrassing seeing your game somehow make it through publishing, and every time you boot it up you get to see a logo that fills you with frustration and regret.
@travisuped You're right. At first I started the game, tried to get to options and failed to select it, started a game, and tried to find a button combo to change it. Then I read through the extended instructions and didn't find mention of it. Later I read on a board that it was in options, and tried it before loading. Thanks though.
If you really look at a lot of the beta content that's available, it does seem like Pixel kind of just went into it without a real plan and just formed the story based on what felt like as he went... the betas were almost entirely different games, just in the same engine! The current one still has leftovers of that even, like how all weapons could technically operate on an ammo limit as they originally did (some like polar star just had like 800 ammo?)
I tried pressing every button for like 5 minutes to change graphic/sound modes, but couldn't do it. Maybe it's some kind of Vulcan nerve-pinch on the controller. Anyway, the default mode is just fine so it's no biggie. I'd been playing the original on my PSP and the redraw seems very natural.
Daisuke Amaya needs to make a second game, new threats! Even greater than ballos! I've played this game, and can't get enough! I can't seem to beat ballos, it makes me mad, but hey!, this is the perfect description of self-esteem, and self-confidence, and I appreciate this, and I look up to this, and hope I can be successful in life like him, and enjoy it for fun, not for money!
Well, I know there's the options button on the main menu to change it. I figure what they mean by changing a game in progress is that you could save, reset, change the options, and reload from your last save. But I dunno.
Old video but the original artwork and soundtrack will always be better IMO. The new sprite for Quote with the shaggy hair makes him look like he would be in a bad indie rock/grunge band. I think the original style with less details is much more timeless and charming.
He may look like a giant anthropomorphic bar of soap, but then how the hell does soap walk and talk and shoot missiles and give hugs of death and fly carrying two heavy-ass robots for extended periods?
Okay, so a new mode with new graphics and sound... Time Attack mode and Boss Rush as well as the original game. I'm super excited and more than willing to buy DLC for this so as to finally support the guy who released it for free; here's hoping that there's even more than what they've revealed already!
(Wow look at my horrible grammar/spelling from 8 months ago!) I dunno. I guess I found the original's graphics and sound more... nostalgic? I also like the original translations over the Wii's, even if they weren't correct.
I always thought Balrog was a briefcase or suitcase, maybe a toaster at most. Some people even believed it was a lunch box...but the truth has been revealed...it's a bar of soap -_-
Ouch! I tought Balrog was a toaster or a TV Screen! D: The only thing that pisses me off apart from that is the negatory of Pixel to port Cave Story to the GP2X Wiz. Dammit, we had it on GP2X, and now this...
could you mind to add the subtitle for hearing aid ? because it's hard to understand what you're saying ^^; (excepted for english subtitle for the creator)
I don't like the "download the time attack" feature.. I liked how you had to find a secret stop watch and pick it up to be able to keep track of your time in Hell
@nobluetown Never said he was in it for the money. Just saying it seems kind of wrong to make money off of someone else's work. And I'd want to guess most people that work on video games, do it because they love it but they also need the money for bills, etc.
Balrog will forever be a toaster in my heart.
In my heart he's a BAG because I tough the name BAlroG was a pun about him beign a bag! Also the first time he appears he has a door behind and I at first I though it was an handle!
Yes.
Or a lunchbox.
@@SwitchbackCh definitely a lunchbox
God bless this man for bringing this game to the world

The world is cruel to good people
Sad. There's a Kotaku article that reveals how Rodriguez was an asshole to his employees and clients, anyways.

This is actually misinformation, Nicalis didn’t “snatch” the rights. Amaya still makes money from these ports.
@@robertbektas1810 unfortunately, misinfo spreads faster than the truth
look at twitter
To this day I see cave story as the greatest passion made game.
I've made it to the end of Cave Story and am fighting the bosses... I hope Pixel keeps sharing his games with the world. This game is a masterpiece!
pixel is like a hero for me, thanks for make cave story
Nintendo needs to hire this guy asap! best game ever!
balrog touches my skin every time i take a bath...
creepy
I literally thought Balrog wasn’t a toaster, but a lunchbox.
Oh, now this is just stunning, thank you.
Pixel's face and Balrog's identity revealed in one video? My, I'm simply mindblown.
Has anyone else noticed they used the Aeon Genesis translation here?
Yeah. Despite it's importance to the success of the game, I don't really think Aeon Genesis gets credited at any of the Nicalis ports, however.
I always thought balrog was a mix between a lunchbag and a toaster.
Pixel is a humble Genius... I really admire him :)
"It doesn't look like soap"
No shit! and here I was all along thinking Balrog was a freakin TOASTER!
Cave Story is the best indie game ever, maybe even the best game ever.
woot thank you Pixel! i loved playing this game on the PC, cant wait for the wii version to come out now :D
Wow, Pixel is a pretty handsome guy. And those original drawings are totally awesome! :D
It's awesome to see Pixel get exposure for his amazing game.
OH MY GOD!!!! This vid contains what the music SHOULD'VE sounded like in CSW!

Thank you so much for this upload! Gold!
Great interview, definitely getting Cave Story in the future.

gem of a video
so, whens the photorealistic cave story coming?

Shadowzdestroyer well kero blaster has been released last year but no new cave story sequel yet :p
Guppy the Cat yea, that's true. Even a prequel would work well enough.
Shadowzdestroyer personally I think Cave Story should just be a single-title. The story is complete and doesn't need more.
edward18517 most of the story is complete. There's still a few things I'd like to know.
@@tand0r surface soldiers is just soldiers from the surface.
Oh, come on.
Well, I know there's the options button on the main menu to change it. I figure what they mean by changing a game in progress is that you could save, reset, change the options, and reload from your last save. But I dunno.
I always thought Balrog was a TV.
Congrats Pixel! One of the greatest games ever made now on a real platform. I played the demo at PAX West and vgxpo, it's such a great port.
I'm surprised he was willing to do an on-screen interview, to be honest.

~*Magic*~
balrog looks more like a toaster compared to when he was known as puu
@DanieluYoshikoto Possibly, but I think I may be wrong. But I shall have Soul Silver and Red Steel 2 to play on that day as well! :-)
Balrog will always be a fridge to me.
Toaster. I remember playing this on Wii a lot and I have it on Switch, DSi, and 3DS as well (both 3D and the regular version)
I'm buying this.
I also thought Balrog was a lunchbox... because of the handle.
Um dos melhores jogos que já joguei.
É muito bom msm
Who would have thought a bar of soap could have so many more uses than washing your face. XDD
nice to finally see this good man
Okay, so a new mode with new graphics and sound... Time Attack mode and Boss Rush as well as the original game. I'm super excited and more than willing to buy DLC for this so as to finally support the guy who released it for free; here's hoping that there's even more than what they've revealed already!
Can't wait to play the Wii Ware version :D
All this time I thought Balrog was a toaster. How wrong I was. Huzzah!
I thought Balrog was a giant living suitcase.
OMG yes. I am so happy that they let us listen to the original music instead of new music. The 16 or 8 bit music or w/e is the best
I somehow feel kinda disappointed Balrog's not a toaster. Anyways, great stuff.
Wow, Balrog is actually a bar of soap, well then, nobody expected that eh?
EPIC FLYING SOAP IS EPIC!
Now if it would come to the DS!
What gets my goat is that the DS port (done by ravenworks) was canceled because of this, and the porter had a near-finished alpha.
I'm not gay but young Pixel is extremely cute
accept it, join us
I think this is coming out next Friday for Europe, I HOPE! :-)
(Wow look at my horrible grammar/spelling from 8 months ago!)
I dunno. I guess I found the original's graphics and sound more... nostalgic? I also like the original translations over the Wii's, even if they weren't correct.
Awesome!
Pretty cool
The first indie game ever created

@xLuky
Correction: A Toaster LunchBox
omg bar of soap =D
so awesome
PIXEL PLEASE MAKE MORE GAMES! =D Todays games mostly just lack the magic of the 1990 era
Why is Time Attack now DLC? Was the clock item removed from the game for this?
could you mind to add the subtitle for hearing aid ? because it's hard to understand what you're saying ^^; (excepted for english subtitle for the creator)
@Syzydeh I know, I know. The term annoys the hell out of me as well.
Genius, I agree...
This guy worked on such a great game alone for 5 years and got almost nothing for it....
I always thought Balrog looked like a toaster
I thought that Balrog was a TV
I think now he's a toaster
I don't like the "download the time attack" feature.. I liked how you had to find a secret stop watch and pick it up to be able to keep track of your time in Hell
wait... that means it comes out at the exact same day a soulsilver/heartgold
@NOSFERATUalu I totally agree with you.
@demonskunkstudios Balrog will always be a toaster, and no amount of soap can change that.
And here I thought he'd based Balrog on a toaster lunchbox :U
Balrog was inspired by soap, SOAP!?!
I thought Balrog was a briefcase...
Thought balrog was a lunchbox
I thought he was a suitcase O_o
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I ALWAYS THOUGHT BALROG WAS A SUITCASE
This man is god in persona.
Does anybody know what software he used to make the game?
He made his own
late but he used directx iirc
Balrog a soap??
OMG!!
Good bye lunchbox.
I thought Balrog was a lunchbox... >.>
I heard Pixel didn't make a dime out of this game. If this is true, then Rodriguez made money off of someone's work.
@nobluetown Never said he was in it for the money. Just saying it seems kind of wrong to make money off of someone else's work. And I'd want to guess most people that work on video games, do it because they love it but they also need the money for bills, etc.
아 미미가 섬 만이라도 갖고싶다...
I thought Balrog was a toaster.
Day 1 buy for me.
Balrog is soap. I suddenly understand jack shit.
On the news it said Japan got earthquake, tsunami, nuclear explosion, oil explosion, and many other stuff.... IS PIXEL OK???? ANYONE KNOW????
i though it was a television
huzzah!
..../THATS/ a bar of soap?! o__o
@axelskull ...why?
SomethingRules heh.
PIXEL U ROCK!!!!!!
soap?... SOAP???
todo exibido falando espanhol
Balrog is a bar of soap.
Everything I know is a lie.
IT'S CALLED THE NIKAMARU COUNTER DAMMIT, GET IT RIGHT!
lulz, jk, jk, i'm just excited for cave story finally coming out. :D
i support pixel but i dont support rodriguez
Wow, seven years ago. And just today Kotaku dropped an article exposing Rodriguez for the POS he is.
uh...
dude
check pixels website
nintendo got evertyhing wrong ORIGINAL FTW
Everyone nowadays are talking about the crossover between Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump while they're missing out on the Nicalis and Pixel crossover
