[Wii] Cave Story Coming to Wii

And in case you guys don't believe this is happening and dismiss an official Nintendo press release here it is from the pixel himself.

God damn, this is going to be great.


<3<3<3<3 u gech~ GO PLAY CAVE STORY

Jam it back in, in the dark.

YOU CAN FEEL THE TRUTH. THAT'S ALL YOU NEED.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Cave Story (Doukutsu Monogatari), A Tribute Site

Has completely translated version and installer for both Windows and Mac. Enjoy.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

It's quite possible that it will come out on Monday. IGN has apparently been playing the Wiiware version.

They better not have changed the script from the fan translation too much. If Balrog doesn't say HUZZAH! I may have to fling shit at the wall.

Most amazing jew boots

It's Cave Story. There's your good review.

I was speaking idiomatically.

GAME FEATURES:
- offers standard definition and Wii-exclusive progressive (480p) graphics
- 4:3 and 16:9 resolution support
- new character designs by creator/designer, Daisuke Amaya (Pixel)
- 10 unique weapons to find and upgrade
- Over 20 boss battles through Mimiga Island
- 15 levels to explore in the vast world
- Classic Controller support
- Three unique endings
- WiiWare version developed by Nicalis

The only troubling thing at the moment is the music and possibly some of the translation but that remains to be seen in the final version which while said to be a Holiday release in the Nintendo press release is being listed as early 2009 everywhere else.

It's in good hands

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

However Indiegames.com does work, so please Acer, what is Nifflas' involvement with 'CaveWii'?

lol sorry I meant indiegames.com but uh unconsciously my love for Indy took over

I have no idea what Nifflas is doing particularly for this but apparently Wiiware developers have some sort of circle and have known about this port for a while now. Or at least that's what Luc Bernard, the creator of Eternity's Child, makes me want to think.

FELIPE NO

Okay, that's excellent. I'm glad they're giving us so many options. We all win! =)))

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Cave Story ought to work on all controllers. The game didn't really require that many buttons. I understand that weapon switching might be a bit difficult on just a wiimote but for the rest of the controls you're covered. Considering they seem to be going all out for options you are probably assured a control scheme for the GameCube controller.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

lol what fun that would be

Anywho the website is up and running and despite using the crappy midi infused new music remix stuff it's very well done with levels and enemies being very animated.

Cave Story for WiiWare

And Nicalis has a blog up as well. Maybe this'll become our new JAPAN TIME. =)))

I'd say this is going to be very good. I wonder when they'll be releasing it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I enjoyed the footage and interview. The music is awful Work In Progress shit. I hope they use resampled instruments instead of that dreadful midi or I'm switching back to the original music with a quickness. I'm liking the update to the graphics though. I can get used to the font but I hope the translation remains faithful.

Can't say I object to her avatar. Still.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
