Judging from the past, they will probably stay up whether or not this is the plan, even if they are just a "quick fix".

Pixel added whiskers to Igor, he re-adjusted the eyes to give Igor a sort of feline look.

How out of character for Pixel, giving his characters a feline appearance.

I didn't notice before, but now I think that the new Igor looks really pissed. Like, holy crapping assballs he is enraged beyond all reason. In the PC version he just looked a bit irked, don't you think?

Pretty interesting, though the new eyes still kinda creep me out a bit.
I guess that's just to show how much more enraged he is?

Really, specially after that one Cave Story comic, I always thought Igor looked sorta....gleeful.

!bump

Cave Story Wii was one reason why I got Nintendo Wii, along with several other games...
I just hope it won't be ruined so that it would be fit for everyone, e.g. "Welcome to Hell!", deaths etc. that might give mental pain to some interesting people.

Well, hopefully we can see Cave Story Wii released soon... Maybe Q1 2010 :o

Oh wow, an actual date. Now I gotta get me one of those little card things.
I was gonna do my monthly playthrough but now I guess I'll hold off until the OFFICIAL RELEASE.

The time draws near...

Ah, I knew it'd only be a matter of time...
Of course, with an actual release date now announced, the waiting's actually gonna be worse :rolleyes:

As for the news, it seems downloadable content will be delayed, if implemented at all...

Hold on, the game's finally being released, and now you're doubting on the downloadable content?
Have faith, have they not already proven themselves yet?
Plus, they just added originally planned DLC as apart of the actual game.

I've had one sitting within reach for the past few months :D;

Also, anyone notice that same Balrog-ish figure appeared at the bottom of that announcement; the same one that's been hiding in the corner of Pixel's own site for quite some time?

I wonder what it could mean....

Sorry if I sounded a little rough there, but suddenly announcing that all previous modes, that were to be DLC, are now included with the game, it makes me wonder about it. It all seems so... sudden.

Yes, they announced DLC, but they haven't talked about details. All they mentioned were the modes now included in the game.

Now, there's no evidence they WON'T do downloadable content, so this is just my mind talking... Ignore it if you want to stay sane.

And yeah, that little guy at the bottom of the page does raise some questions... (what exactly, I'm still finding that out!)

Hmm... and this is the same month when Mega Man 10 will be released. I hope the Blue Bomber won't cut out potential fans.

Now I have a deadline to get my hands on a Wii by. And that Balrog's like GIF is just Pixel's insignia of sorts. He draws those all the time. so putting it on the blog was like saying "Fuck yeah, Pixel," or "I am Pixel and I approve this message."

You don't need a Wii. It's only a matter of time until you can download it on PC.

You'll be able to do that around the same time Nintendo stop being cash whores. Besides, I'm not going to wait. That's madness!

Re: Cave Story Officially Announced for WiiWare

I am talking about illegally downloading it of course. It will most likely be able to download on the same day it's released if you know the right places to look.

Maybe so, but I'd still buy it anyway because in some small way, I'd feel like I'd be supporting Pixel. Even if he may or may not be recieving a portion of the revenue. Do we even know what sort of agreement he took up with them, like royalties or selling the IP for a lump sum or what? (probably not the second one.)

Re: Cave Story Officially Announced for WiiWare

Because paying for a game you already played for free but with updated graphics and a few new things is totally smart, right?

Crazy talk

When it's as something as epic as Cave Story, and supports the original creator, of course, it's brilliant.
I'd buy it three times, if I could. :rolleyes:
