If you're not sure, I would save $30 and go for the PC version (Cave Story+). The 3DS version is pretty much a graphical update. It's the same game overall.
As for the game itself, it is really simple and unique. The combat and weapons are great, there are a lot of hidden secrets and items to find and there are challenge levels to do after you beat the game. There are multiple endings. Get them all.
They deserve better, but they're not going to stop releasing games on PC just because some assholes stole it. That's silly reasoning. They sold 1.1 million so far, meaning that it is going to continue to sell in the future. It's not going to stay at 1.1 million, it may be 2.5 million by next year or more.
Though even if there was DRM placed on the game, the result would be the same because someone would have already cracked the DRM and share it with the thieves with no consequence. Hell, their sales may not have been as high if the DRM was bad.
I didn't get this bundle, but I did get a normal 3DS for $99. It was a Texas only promotion though and I didn't have to stay up or go to a doorbuster sale or anything. I just took the ad to a Walmart and they price matched it.
