    Default Cave Story WiiWare

    Anyone else excited for this? I still haven't heard an official launch date but it'll be a day 1 purchase for me. I've been playing it on my modded xbox and it's awesome. It'll be great to play it without slowdowns and with upgraded graphics on the Wii. Not to mention supporting a really nice indie developer

    I got some points set aside for it. When is it supposed to drop again?

    I have Cave Story on my PSP and could redownload it for the PC if I wanted. I wouldn't ever buy it for Wiiware because I won't pay for a game that's free to begin with, not to mention it's nothing more than data with "slightly" upgraded graphics(Is the music remixed as well? I don't remember what else is really different.)

    ... What about tossing Pixel(that dude what made the game) some money for all his hard work? God knows he deserves some.

    I guess some people just don't think that way.

    You could easily do that without giving Nintendo a cut, though.

    Quoting Ween here, "Don't believe the florist when he tells you that the roses are free."

    I don't mind throwin' in a bit of money. A good game is worth good money. If they add some Wii specific extras, controls, etc then it will be doubly worth the points.

    I played the hell out of Alien Hominid for free on Newgrounds... Didn't keep me from buying the Gamecube version... still hunting for the euro GBA version too. You can play nethack and rogue for free... people still buy roguelikes that get commercial release. Oh yeah, that's right. A lot of those are Atlus titles these days, now I get it.

    Yeah Cave story looks awesome. I don't know if any of you have seen the pixel by pixel changes they've done to the game, it is insane. see below:

    Yup, looks great. Hard to believe they are taking that kind of care for this game. Pixel has been known as a developer that actually listens to player feedback. This being released on WiiWare couldn't have happened to a nicer developer.

    I do agree that pixel does deserve something for his work, but I also don't pay for data. Especially when I'd also have to buy a Wii which the VC is the only good thing about it, with items that I'd rather have hard copies of over roms. Another thing is. Cave Story is free. It's not like I'm pirating it in any way at all. If it was release on disc, regardless of format, then yes I'd pay for 39.99-49.99 easily(price of new game last gen, not on portable, however I wouldn't mind supporting a portable price of 39.99.)

    I'd possibly send something through Paypal or some other way to Pixel, but I can't read anything on his official site to find where I'd send a donation.

    Here's a bit of good news on cave story:

    http://nicalis.com/blog/2009/01/07/and-hello-again/

    Looks like the WiiWare release will include some new content after all.

    A couple of other tidbits from the website:

    Q: Is the WiiWare version Pixel-approved?
    A: Yes, the WiiWare version of Cave Story is Pixel-approved. It can’t be approved if he’s not involved, right?

    Q: What is his involvement?
    A: Pixel, or Daisuke Amaya, is responsible for Cave Story and we wouldn’t dare make a WiiWare version without his direct involvement in the whole process. He’s as involved with the WiiWare version of Cave Story as anyone else on the development team.

    Q: You’ve change the graphics, I want the old artwork.
    A: How 8-bit of you, go ahead. The final version of Cave Story on WiiWare will feature a switch that will allow you to choose the old graphics.

    Q: Oh yeah, I want the old music, too.
    A: You’re quite the picky one. Yes, you can have your cake and eat it, too. The original audio will also be included and that too will feature a switch.You can even mix-and-match.

    Nice to know they went with an Old & New motif.

    Why not just play it on your PC? It's free.
