I'm all over Cave Story Wii..and I actually hate Nintendo Wii. lol

Javet, I don't know if you know this, but Cave Story's coming out on WiiWare.

I'd be surprised if a single person on these forums didn't know that, considering how often stories about this are on the front page.

[Adamski]

What is Cave Story?

[battlerager]

What is Cave Story?

[ChevyRay]

Only ten? ONLY TEN!?

I can't do this.

I can't even think of 5

Then again, I'm not a big-time gamer. Hardly a gamer at all, really

[ShawnF]

In no particular order:

1. Mount & Blade
2. Cave Story
3. Steam Brigade
4. N / N+
5. Braid (htf am I the only one with this on their list?)
6. Chalk
7. Eternal Daughter
8. Within A Deep Forest
9. Trilby: the Art of Theft
10. Altitude (although I'm biased since I was sort of involved)

[Renton]

5. Braid (htf am I the only one with this on their list?)

Possible scenarios:
- We don't have 360s.
- It's not what it's all cracked up to be.

Passage
Cursor*10
Braid
La La Land
Pixeljunk Eden

[TheBlackMask]

Possible scenarios:
- We don't have 360s.
- It's not what it's all cracked up to be.

Both in this case.

[Kneecaps]

10. Gravity Bone - I wish more games had pacing this great.
9. Facade - This game had quite an impact on me.  Also, from what I've noticed, people who play video games less tend to do better at this game.
8. Gravitation - The only art game worth playing.  Ever.
7. Crayon Physics Deluxe - Just like World of Goo, you could feel the love put into the game.
6. Clean Asia - Even though I can't beat this game, I'm addicted to its style.
5. Spelunky - It's Spelunky.
4. Gang Garrison 2 - My favorite indie multiplayer game.  Which makes since, since TF2 is my favorite regular multiplayer game.
3. World of Goo - This was my "Cave Story".  It showed me how great an indie game (or game for that matter) can be.
2. Noitu Love 2 - Every second I play of this game gives me a really happy feeling.  And the sound is just icing on the cake.
1. Knytt Stories - The closest I've seen any game come to perfection.

I did not enjoy any part of Cave Story.  I tried to, at least.

[pixeltao]

I can't choose 10, but here are some of my favorites:

Guxt (by Pixel, same guy who made Cave Story, as you already know)
Spelunky
Banana Nababa
Dino Run
Mega Man 2
...
Ok, I cheated for the last one, but it's almost indie if you know the story behind the development of the game.

[gunswordfist]

Oh, I was about to tell you how Mega Man 2 is NOT indie. lol It has been my favorite Mega Man game for 9-10 years though.

[Zaratustra]

10. Mondo Medicals / Cave Story
9. Calamity Annie
8. Spelunky
7. La Mulana
6. ROM CHECK FAIL
5. Yume Nikki
4. Knytt Stories
3. Deadly Rooms of Death
2. Dwarf Fortress
1. Karoshi 2.0

[Terry]

In no particular order: A Blurred Line, Photopia, Rameses, Knytt Stories, World of Goo, Cave Story, Deadly Rooms of Death, Varicella, The Mondo games, Aquaria, a bunch of others I can't think of right now. Ten is too hard.

[JLJac]

- We don't have 360s.

How do you know about number 2 if you are positive on number 1?

[Valter]

Don't worry about it, JLJac. People have different tastes.

I didn't include it because the story wasn't interesting to me. The gameplay was nice, but at many areas (mostly the last) there was a repetitive aspect to it, and there are some game mechanics (like the fact that jumping on enemies multiple times makes you jump higher) just aren't mentioned at all.

How did I forgot these two?

You don't need a 360 to try it.

[JLJac]

Yeah, I was just fooling around...

Braid isn't cup of tea either. The game is bad gameplay/story mixing in flesh, it's pretty hard to imagine a way to separe the two than to make the story readable as text you get acces to as you play.
