Cave Story Wii Has A Little Extra Something

Luke Plunkett — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 06:30:00 +0000

Cave Story Wii isn’t the same Cave Story you already know and already love. For starters, it’s getting a graphical facelift, character art and all. But that’s not all; it’s also getting downloadable content.

Yes, posted on the game’s official blog yesterday was the following:

We’re still working away at Cave Story trying to make sure it’s faithful to Amaya-san’s original while adding a few things for the console release. One of these new additions, I’m happy to announce is Download Content. I think we received enough e-mails demanding it that we’re doing our best to include some new surprises in the WiiWare release. You’re going to have to wait for more info on that.

New levels? New characters? New weapons? Goodness me, it’s enough to make a man faint from all the excitement.

Well, here it is moving. Looks wonderful. Excuse the sound though, it’s a work-in-progress.

Meet The New Cave Story Hero, Same As The Old Cave Story Hero

Remember that Cave Story graphics comparison we ran a while back? Showing how the upcoming Wii version was making some slight, yet tasteful, changes to the way the game’s characters looked? Got another one for you today. And it’s probably the most radical, not to mention important, of the lot. Look at his little nose! And his little haircut! And the cute little details on his cute little cap! Melts the heart, it does.

Cave Story Wii Makes Me Want A New Wii

My current Wii doesn’t get much use. OK, it gets no use. But that’s not to say I wouldn’t turn down the chance to get another one! Though it couldn’t just be any Wii. If I had to get a new Wii – and Nintendo wouldn’t let me have one of those HDD-equipped ones – I’d want this one. Because if I got it, how many other people could say they owned a Wii that had been doodled all over by Pixel, the dude who created Cave Story? Doodles of Cave Story characters, all over both the console and the controllers? Not many people, that’s how many.
