Where exactly did they say that? @Nicalis didn't. I also don't understand what that quote is saying—Steam is a sentient being that refused to let Cave Story+ defile its tubes?
... You raise a good freaking point! I watched the official Twitter for the guys, and I only knew of this because I got a link from some guy at TF2Mods. So if this IS some sort of fake, then I'll be happy, yet annoyed, both at the same time.
Sort of. Steam is Valve's thingie. Pretty much whatever riffraff is on there is at their discretion (also the reason they do TF2 crossover titles with STEAM titles). Although for a platform that re-released chucklef**ingly meh Sega Genesis title "Sonic 3D Blast", I can't understand why they would turn down a legitimately good and popular game like Cave Story. Access to the upgraded, improved version to those without a Wii, or don't have Wifi for the moronic Wii online system.
Oh well, at least this spurred me to send emails to both Valve and Nicalis, so either they'll find interest, or think I'm a total loon. Only time will tell
EDIT: Okay, now I feel seriously stupid for not noticing this sooner. To answer some perplexed questions, the link of the post is here:

... And it's from freaking January. I couldn't feel any dumber if I tried to order cake at a bicycle shop. I don't even know where the guy who showed me this found his reference, but there is no absolute way this could be related to Cave Story steam. ESPECIALLY when they said they were almost done with it about a week ago. It's like they just tried to google "Nicalis Steam Cancelled", trying to find something to kill my buzz. And it did, temporarilly, and part of me totally wants to get pissed, but I'm at least glad the game is still coming. Also I still have a chance to get this pack rolled into an official TF2 update blunt.
