This game looks awesome! Can't wait to purchase this next big hit.
Definite purchase.
Yes, a definite purchase.
another one to add to my list, this and cave story are gonna be good, additions to wiiware
Looks really good. The difficulty is mega-man-esque hardcore though, so....
Definitely pumped for this one.
Made by same developers as Cave Story huh? Might get this, the pictures give off an Indiana Jones vibe.
Wow looks better than the PC version you can download here which is freeware.

The original PC one was the most blisteringly difficult yet extremely fun game I've ever played EVER. So the fact that Nigoro's giving the game a graphical overhaul and making the controls easier is sure to make this a definite purchase.
Looks good.
It's officially out in Japan! Good for them!
Come to the EU now!
It's not, it just says that they can't release accurate sales data until the game has been released outside Japan.
I wonder if this will ever be released outside of Japan?
One day, eh?
Well, we can always hope this will come to the Wii U...
I am so sad that this isn't coming to the West! It looks awesome! Someone please publish this here!
@luminalace not long now. 20th September for Europe and North America
I thought it was confirmed cancelled. So glad it's not
So close
kind of looks like an Indiana Jones ripoff
Downloading......
Can't wait to play it!
Amazing what 3 people, backed by a publisher, can do...
Gonna be downloading this on my Wii U when I get it.
The original PC game is fantastic. Probably the best "Metroidvania" I've played ever, excluding Super Metroid. It's packed with tricky platforming, clever puzzles/riddles, cool bosses and secrets.
I've only tried the WiiWare version a little bit, but it looks just as good.
