Cave Story for Wiiware!
« on: October 04, 2008, 03:32:04 am »
Just saw the news.  Pretty cool.  Supposed to have added features too. 

There's a webpage that isn't open yet, here:  http://www.cavestorywii.com/

News article here:  http://www.gamesarefun.com/news.php?newsid=9054

Nintendo Press Release here:  http://press.nintendo.com/articles.jsp?id=16456

"Cave Story: This title is an action-adventure game with new, exclusive content and features created only for the WiiWare version."

Thought it'd be interesting to you guys.  Hopefully it does well for Pixel.

Yes!  This to me was basically the only thing Nintendo announced at the conference thing that was worth anything, but it's pretty exciting.  I'm a big fan of Cave Story.

Yeah.  You sort of almost feel guilty for playing the game for free, even though it was released as such.  It'll be nice to play it on the big screen too, and I'm curious as to what new things shall be in it.  Will it be just small things, or will there be a significant chunk of new content?  All we can do right now is wait and see... Wait and see...

I literally jumped off my couch and punched the air when I read about this yesterday.  Fantastic news for certain.  I get to own it at last AND I get new content AND I get to play it on the big screen?  Pinch me I must be dreaming.  Heres hoping A LOT of people buy it and maybe we'll see more games out of Pixel!

However, Quemaqua, what are you playing at saying that's the only good thing to come out of the conference?  Metroid Prime 1 and 2 remade using Wii controls?  Punch Out!!?  Sin & Punishment 2?  The PLETHORA of great games for DS and Wii they showed in that montage I couldn't read because the titles were in Japanese?  Sounds like A LOT of great news to me.

This...game...ROCKS!

I didn't say it was the only good thing!  Just the only major thing that stood out to me.

I didn't, however, hear anything about Prime 1 and 2 being remade using Wii controls.  I only followed some news my friend posted, I haven't had time to keep up on much of anything myself.  I totally have to go look that up now because that would be bloody amazing.
