I play imports too with Gecko and I go online with the console.
I don't know what firmware you are on but there's patched version of the Shop so you can go online and buy VC/Wiiware games.

Hey, Im Tiffany, the programmer on Cave Story Wii. Things have been pretty busy for us as we get closer to release, but I wanted to say hello.
As you probably know, over the past few months weve been cracking away, trying to bring Cave Story over to the Wii platform. Thankfully to Pixels clean work, weve been able to do it without too many challenges. During the first few days of porting Cave Story I was able to see the hard work and love that went into making this game. Some of Pixels techniques, including the old school approach to sound generation, were really helpful in keeping the file sizes down (very helpful for WiiWare) and making this port a pretty straight forward one.
If youve read Tyrones post, you probably have figured out that the game is almost completely ported and getting close to done. There are still a few things left to do. One of the more obvious bugs from the initial port was a notable sound bugyou know bleeding ears and allwhich I am currently working on. We promise to get it right! There were also several graphics bugs which have since been fixed. I am also working to get all of the Wii specifications in place, but thats all secret stuff.
I am really excited to work alongside Pixel and Tyrone and feel very honored to have a hand in this project. Like you, I cant wait to see the final result on the WiiWare Channel. I plan to make a couple of updates on Cave Story, so until next time thanks for reading!
Woooo!

These are definitely the right people to be porting this game. I just hope they don't feel the crunch of the 40 Meg limit.

Yeah, clever filename aside, it doesn't work that way. Especially when we're talking about a port by another team to a non-PC platform with additional content.

The "additional content" amounts to new spritework/tilesets and midi sound files. It would take the team a lot of talent if they could figure out a way to bloat that an additional 36 MBs. Porting it to a non-PC platform is irrelevent, the PSP Cave Story port is even smaller (2298 KBs)Kulock said:

Sing...lyrics?
This might make an interesting novelty, but I can't see myself playing the whole game with it on.

MadWorld just came out today.neoism said:What happened to this game coming out in Jan-Feb?? As late as may WTF! I need something to play on my Wii!
I don't really understand what the blog is saying about singing lyrics? Will they be understandable or just random harmonizing? What is happening?!?!?!

Game is done, just bug-testing, etc. to do.
Also, Pixel himself will be appearing on the Nintendo Channel for a video interview sometime in the next four weeks!

those developer's voice bits are by far the best thing on that channel. such a good idea for small games like this where the game represents the vision of only a few people.EmCeeGramr said:

agreed on both points.
to the latter, it's a nice bit of synergy with what i think has always been part of the charm of CAVE STORY: that which is new playing footsy with that which is old.
