Cave Storyis coming to 3DS, which is exciting news for fans of the cult smash platform title. However, publisher NIS America isn’t exactly jumping for joy. PresidentHaru Akenaga is worried about the game, claiming NIS delayedCave Story 3Dbecause retailers wouldn’t want to sell it.
“I’m really worried about sales forCave Story,” he confessed. “It’s not the quality of the game, it’s the market. Actually, we could have released the title in the summer of this year, but the market was not great then.
“Almost all of the retailers did not want to carry 3DS titles that were not AAA titles. That’s why we postponed the release ofCave Storyuntil the market conditions improved. Now there are many big titles coming and that should be better for 3DS. I hopeCave Storywill have reorders and always have a spot on store shelves.”
Dtoid editor Tony Ponce refutes this claim, citing he’s seen far too many copies ofBust-A-Move 3Din stores. Personally, I’m surprised by this, if only for the fact that I didn’t think the 3DShadany “AAA” titles on shelves, outside ofOcarina of Time. How curious.
