Yar and I JUST bought Cave Story on my Wii two months go.
_{should've waited...}

I never beat it though. Got stuck with that treaded robot thing after the desert section.

Here is a link to an interview on Tiny Cartridge:

@rosebud - Read the interview. Sounds like Nicalis is taking this very seriously and it should definitely be awesome. I am officially hyped for this.

@Birdman13: Yeah, I thought it was very informative. It is on my official wishlist as well even though I have not played the PC version. I also liked the thinly veiled swipes at certain third-party publishers who retool mobile phone games for DSiWare. Anyway, it was great read and really sold me on the concept of Cave Story.

Proof that if you have the WiiWare version, you don't need the DSiWare version. I'd still suggest getting this only if you don't have the WiiWare version or the portable aspect of it is important to you.

This would make me very happy. Any excuse to play more Cave Story is a good excuse!

What was strange in my Copy of Cave Story Wiiware was,
Spoilers
The tow rope in the water chamber wasnt there. I spent 10 minutes searching RIGHT where it was supposed to be. I beat the boss, and Curly died.
.....What?

Did you get the first booster pack? You're supposed to wait for the better one. So, basically, good things come to those who wait

I'm so excited that this is coming to the DSi!! Will it be the same as the one on WiiWare, or will it be tweeked?

And I have to say, this is the second best thing to happen to the DSi. Flipnote was the first.

Oh before halloween...

I think I might get this. I have the Wiiware version, but I think I would play it more often on the DSi because of the pick-up-and-go feel.

@Funky It will have at least one exclusive feature (and the original developer's blessing, which apparently the WiiWare version didn't have, lol). And haha yeah I forgot about Flipnote (and probably Shantae) when I wrote this, but still.

@HolyMackerel: thanks for that... i guess it'll come down to price at this point, since i'll have 800 points left over after getting Shantae.

If they're smart, then Nicalis (and Nintendo) won't price it over 800. Not that Cave Story isn't worth much more, but I've paid $12 for it already and I can also play it for free online and a little extra incentive to grab it again is always welcome.

Where did you read that it will have an exclusive feature?

Also the WiiWare version did have Pixel's blessing from the start - this was very clearly stated by Pixel in the Nintendo Channel interviews. After the port was done, he played through it and said he loved it. Nicalis had to approach him in person to request the rights to port the game to WiiWare. If they had done it without his permission, he would have had every right to sue them for every dollar they're worth. Nintendo also definitely would not have allowed a game which infringes intellectual property laws to be published on WiiWare.

In the other thread you were like

And then I was like

And then you were like

And I was like

And then everyone stopped posting.

Also that was kind of a joke because Nicalis decided to list Pixel's blessing as a 'feature' for the DSiWare version, but not the WiiWare one. Of course Pixel liked it if he let them port it, and I know that plagiarism isn't allowed on any Nintendo sanctioned service, I've seen the Nintendo Channel Dev Diary too.

Oh lol k. I missed the joke. /whoosh

Needless to say, Cave Story will definitely be one of the best games on DSiWare. The service need more quality games like it! Good thing Shantae will be out soon too.

Oh yeah, sounds great. Hopefully I'll have enough points for it after I download Shantae. Pecking Order!

Huzzah/Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 (whichever you prefer) Cave Story WiiWare was updated so I think we're clear for the DSiWare version very very soon now!
BTW according to Nintendo Power it has a music player, which is awesome because the remixed music is better than memory-restoring mushrooms, if you know what I mean.

I'm gonna wait for the 3DS to get this. Just on the off chance that it won't be transferable, and the WiiWare version will last me a while anyway.
