I have been patiently awaiting this release for many months now being a fan of the game... Its starting to wear thin.. Does anyone know when this comes out?????????????
My neighbours parrot has supposedly the ability to foresee the future. He said the release date for Cave Story is october 16 in Europe and october 19 in North America. Hmm, I don't know. We should better ask Dazza when there is another full moon.
I honestly do not know when but man there sure are a ton of people that want this game. I am trying out the PC version to see what its all about. If I like it I will be joining the parade of people that are anticipating this one.
It's getting graphical/audio upgrades, and I think some bonus material (new levels? weapons? enemies? No idea anymore...), so hopefully what's keeping it delayed is "perfectionism."
Also, I have no idea how the original was "built," so to speak. It might not be something you can simply port and emulate at all...for all we know its coding had to be seriously overhauled to even run on such a different system.
I heard a detailed podcast on this a while back and I think the original was somewhat "rough and ready" in its construction, which was fine when it was just a free flash game but it required a significant overhaul for release as a paid download. IIRC he is also adding a good few new levels and redoing all the music. Having said all that I think the main cause of the delay is that he insists on doing it all himself, a good dev team would have boxed it off in 6 months I'm sure.
Drink coffee and spitt it on the floor WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATT?! How dare you >: ( It's a full executable download freeware game, comparable with the original Metroid and Castlevania. The engine, concept, programing, art, music... etc... was all built from zero by only one guy!!!
And the Wii version is not being made ALL by himself just the new art (but he have the final word on every decision, after all it's his game.) There are people helping on "officially" (with the creator final word) translating the original game, porting the original code etc...

Short version of the post - It's not flash...
Weeeeeeel Excuse meeeeeeeeeee, get nobbled.
sorry if I offended you, I was simply reporting what I recalled, i made fairly clear that it was simply that, a recolection.
In other news a 1up or Gamestop journo (I cant keep track, his twitter is game spite or sprite)had a tweet last night saying he had played a nearly final version of Cave Story and it was good, we may see this before the end of October yet!
Just imagine your patience for the game if you actually got to play the game like myself. I wasn't much of a fan of it until I played it and have been anxiously awaiting it's released since then. It's definitely a recommendation from someone who's played it and a first day buy for me. For the record, I played the WiiWare version and not the PC version.
