Oh wow, Cave Story 3D’s Japanese cover is like a spillion times better than the North American box – yes, the counter we used to measure just how much more amazing it is shot up so fast, numbers started spilling out of the device and left our floor a jumble of digits.

I am pretty sure this cover is from Zanpan, the same fellow behind this fantastic Cave Story fanart we featured a couple of years ago. Now, who’s with me in pressuring NIS and Nicalis to put out a high-res image for this, so we can print it out and use it as an alternate cover?
