• Hey everyone happy Christmas Eve we're aware of what's happened with the source code so to keep this simple absolutely don't post it on the site or use it to make mods with (it's not particularly preferable toward this end anyway) and tread lightly in general until we see how this settles, thanks to all and have a great holiday season -DT

Huzzah > Doryaa

Though... if they do replace "Huzzah", I'll be forced to agree with you on it.
In one of the videos, I believe on the developer one, it was shown that Balrog keeps his famous catch phrase.
Huzzah!! :D

Re: Cave Story Officially Announced for WiiWare

I wonder if the story with Curly is going to just be a simple reverse from Quote's.

Re: Cave Story Officially Announced for WiiWare

Probably. The whole thing with the Colons is going to be a bit weird, since mothers are typically much more protective of their children, but whatever. Completely change the personalities of two main characters, Nicalis. We've wished for so long that we could play as Curly OH WAIT. THERE ARE AT LEAST 3 PLAY-AS-CURLY MODS.

It's a little unfair to compare fanmade mods to official stuff.


I mean, if Pixel made a Cave Story 2 we would be able to say, but we already have a Cave Story 2!

We're an egotistical forum!

Gotta remember we're not the only audience being targeted, either.
They're also targeting a lot of new players, people who have never heard of Cave Story before, and will have never heard of our little forum, or our mods.

I'M GOING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT EVERY DETAIL OF THE GAME UNTIL I PLAY IT. THEN MAYBE I WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.
ACCEPT IT.

Also Quote looks stupid with a mouth.

So, you're complaining about it, yet you're still going to buy it?

Re: Cave Story Officially Announced for WiiWare

Hey, at least it isn't about Sonic 4.

It's gonna be interesting what Pixel/Nicalis will do with Curly now. What will change? The Colons (if they're even called that now) are the biggie, as Captain Fabulous has stated.

...and I think Curly's gaping mouth will be more of a nuisance than Mr. Traveler's unemotional line of a mouth.

There would be a huge difference between Pixel's Cave Story 2 and the mod one. With playing as Curly? Not so much.

Re: Cave Story Officially Announced for WiiWare

Well yes and no. I would go so far as to say that certain play as curly mods (such as Kaeso's Curly Brace story), already have far more interesting plotlines/gameplay options than Nicalis could ever think of putting into CS Wii.

Or perhaps you just aren't giving Nicalis (or more appropriatley, Pixel) the creative credit they really deserve. Just because they could do something doesn't mean they will, and just because they don't do something doesn't mean they couldn't have.

However I wouldn't blame Nicalis. It would be Pixel's fault, but since he is the "canonizer" of this game, he has the right to do so unquestionably!

I thought we already agreed that the original English translation is better. Maybe AG are better writers than Pixel.
The AG version has several mistakes/inconsistancies (Earth, Bloody Holy Land, Koron, Rabil/Ravil, Litgano Motscoud) that have been bugging at me fo a while now. A simple translation error could change the meaning of a piece of dialogue. I would like to buy CSWii solely for the purpose of taking in every single piece of dialogue and throwing it at the theories subforum. :)

As if that would stop arguments. Without our pointless arguments this forum would have died a long time ago.

I think his intention was to spawn more arguments, to keep the Theories section going.
I will help you, Andy.

Weekend's here guys, only a few days to go until I realize that I'm broke and lock myself in my room and cry for 4 hours.

Oh yeah, sorry I didn't get around to this, but if you sign up to Nicalis at Twitter, you might just receive a copy for free.

Wait, what? Why would a new TV be in order for a Wii? Unlike the other two, the Wii isn't a HD console...

If I recall there was some sort of promotional thing where the Wii was bundled with the TV.
