A few weeks ago, Nicalis announced that Cave Story+ would be released on the Nintendo Switch in June in North America. And last week, they confirmed that it would also be released in Europe (at a later date), courtesy of Headup Games (also taking care of The Binding of Isaac).

They also confirmed that the game would get a nice instructions booklet, just like The Binding Isaac: Afterbirth. As for co-op, it will be added via a free update in late Summer.
