6 new Sand Zone pics, 4 new Grasstown/Bushlands, 2 Egg Corridor, and 2 Mimiga Villiage. The graphics aren't all that impressive, except for Egg Corridor.

Compare these.

Yeah, the top looks better, right? Well I'm excited for this game anyway, how 'bout you?

EDIT: Aaaaand this just in, the new boxart was revealed a minute ago.

I posted this in the shoutbox earlier actually. They would have been added, but unfortunately IGN is the only one with them. I like that they're using the original HUD, although that may not be that way in the final. The 3D isn't actually as nice as I thought. I don't know, something just seems off to me in these pictures...
 
Weird, mine was posted by the company itself. They've been screwing up so much today, first they fail to properly post a new music preview, and now the boxart image is broken. I hope they don't screw up this game.
 
Sweet! I'm actually playing through the wiiware and let me tell you...this game may look cute..but it has one hell of a dark story. It's very well put together and is a game many should try out. I can't wait for the 3DS version.
 
You're in for one hell of a time once you get to the last area. It's so hard when you first go there, but you end up dying so many times that you get the hang of it. Oh, and do not use your life pot until the end. (Assuming you have the Life Pot already)

Oh i saved it for just the occasion. Right now i'm in the destroyed Egg chamber. The game is tough, but nothing compared to Megaman 9...
 
I hate the new style of the game. A lot of the charm of the original for me was the relatively simplistic pixlated art style. This new direction kills that "16-bit era of gaming" feel. I would only buy this new version if it came with a filter that would set the styling to one that was similar to the original.
 
I hate fans sometimes. Pixel says people complained about the Cave Story Wii graphics not being as good as modern games. Now all over Youtube and stuff people are complaining about how the graphics are too modern. Making an old thing modern is usually a big part of remaking something, people!

I think they might do that. The WiiWare version had an option to set everything to its original style (original being the downloadable one, I think?)

Although I wish there could have been some new areas or weapons or anything really. You know, just to help justify a purchase when I've already played through the WiiWare version several times? I guess that won't be happening though... D:
 
It was actually announced that there will be new areas and collectibles. I'm not sure about weapons, though. They said that they're trying to capture some elements from the beta version of Cave Story, which was completely different from the version we see today. So far, a whole new level has been hinted.
 
Well the graphics don't make a game. Sure helps though, so I hope they polish those as much as Egg Corridor is. It kinda looks like it will be like Animal Crossing Wild World, where the screen scrolls circular-like.
