More Cave Story upgrades.

Again I repeat, the upgraded look in the Wii version of Cave Story is optional. I'm personally not a fan of the new art. This game was designed to look and feel decidedly retro. If you are going to upgrade it, then go even further with the pixels, or possibly even make it hand drawn. But then again, the creator's name is Pixel.

Imagine if Mega Man 9 retained its gameplay, but instead had Mega Man 8 graphics instead of looking like the original Mega Man. I'm certain the game would have been dramatically less well received. This is sort of how I feel about what they are doing here. They might possibly change the look from "charming" to "outdated graphics".

The improved look seems alright.

I wish it wasn't even an option though, because so many people base games off how visually pleasing they are.
