Nicalis and Headup Games have been in a working relationship thus far. "The Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+" is also expected to have a Nintendo Switch release. Given the many good things that have come from their current status, fans are curious to know how long the contract will last. So far, both companies have declined to comment, so fans will have to enjoy their joint projects to the fullest.

"Cave Story+" features a hero who suffers from amnesia. He discovers a hidden land and becomes attached to the creatures that live there. Vowing to protect them, the title's main protagonist has to fend off attacks from the mad doctor, while at the same time, learning a bit more about his past and where he came from. The game has garnered positive reviews, which is why the Europe release is highly anticipated.
