Synopsis
An unforgettable, life-changing adventure, Cave Story+ puts the player in the shoes of a young hero who wakes up in a hidden wonderland of terrible danger and glorious reward. Unaware of his origin, his purpose or even his own name, the traveler soon encounters a race of rabbit-like creatures called Mimiga on the brink of extinction. Nearly every character he meets gives him another clue to piece together the story of the Mimiga’s oppression and the mystery of his own past.

The retro style is such a wonderful addition and I'm totally thrilled to pick this one up and play it on the Switch!
The original was pretty fun too, so I already know Cave Story+ will be just as solid.
