Fed up of waiting for Cave Story to reach Europe? Well, your wait is nearly over: the game is Europe-bound on Friday, December 10th.
The game's also set to be a little cheaper than its North American counterpart, launching at 1,000 Nintendo Points rather than the original 1,200 price, and will see a simultaneous release in New Zealand and Australia on the same day.
The long wait is about to come to an end.

Hey maybe if I hold off on buying it will change 1000 points here too? =O
FINALLY!
AT LONG LONG LAST! I hope for DSIwARE VERSION TOO!
Great news, yay for Europe and our friends down under!
And another congratulations to my friends across the pond
Great news. The lower price point means I only have to purchase one points card to buy it as well.
Day one instabuy.
wow... about time... Thing is I got myself a US Wii to play it. So for those who don't have one, enjoy...
Awesome, I'll get Flowerworks at the same time. First WiiWare purchases in months!
Ah, the wait is finally over! x)
Or I could just continue playing Cave Story for free on my Mac.
So unfair. Why do they spend less...even though they pay more...er, I just confused myself
FINALLY!!! Although, I'd rather wait for the dsiware version because it's portable. I hope it doesn't take as long as the wiiware version has.
Great news, i will stop moaning now!
FIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYY!
Glad you guys finally get it. This was waaay overdue.
Why is the release so close to other games such as DKCR & Super Mario Allstars? This could of filled the gap between Other M which was released the start of September.
Cancelled my pre-order today for Mario Allstars anyway (see reasons why under the game thread re 50hz issues etc). Glad Cave Story is on the way.
At last! Great holiday present for us!
The time it took for Cave Story to make it to Europe, two versions of it is already out in America. lol
Still not sure about this game, hope we get the US demo as well.
Finally!! I hope it's bugless!! This will be my first download since Bit. Trip Runner. And 1000 points is the little cherry on top
(see reasons why under the game thread re 50hz issues etc)
Can't find it. Link me to it or tell me here please.
About Fracking Time!!
but man I'm annoyed.. I've been saving 1000 points for this game ever since it's announcement... and NOW it comes out.. when my Wii is in another freaking country
@Sean Aaron
You didn't get BIT.TRIP FATE because? >=O
This is great news! Although I will put off buying it because a) I'd rather get the DSiWare version and b) I need to save my money after spending £100 on a giant Smugleaf plush.
Finally, and fortunately with an excuse^^.
Hmmm don't know if I'll bother anymore, seeing as I just got it in my pc for free. Maybe after Xmas. Still good to see its coming.
I'm crying a little. I'm happy
Cool happy for you guys.
You guys totally deserve the price cut, however small

finally! ...i'm off to buy a card!
Now give us an exact date for Mario Party 2, Nintendo! I have 1000 points saved for it. I hope Cave Story also comes with a demo.
I'm probably in the minority here, but Cave Story wasn't that great. When I first played it, I couldn't get enough of it, but after a while, I got tired of dying and starting over at the beginning of the stage. (I guess I've become spoiled with modern day checkpoints.) It's not a bad game, and if you are looking for an old school experience, go for it, otherwise be warned.
"Finally" is the word alright!
HUZZAH!
@ #30
Thanks. I was looking in the forums for the topic. So no wonder I didn't find it.
Yay, cheaper and bug free!!!
Ahh, finally Cave Story is released in Europe. Christmas comes early this year!
Now if we buy it here en masse then maybe those Japanese will realize that they shouldn't ignore Europe.
Oh, and it is not cheaper in Europe compared to America!
America: 1200 points = 12 US$ = 9,20 Euro.
Europe: 1000 points = 10 Euro = 13 US$.
So it actually means that the prices are very similar! So the pricing is fair.
Wow, I feel bad now about moaning when our American friends got a lower price, especially because they're being so nice about this. Now we just need the game on DSiWare!
@Senna Kurosaki
Japanese ignoring europe? But cavestory wiiware isn't out in japan yet.And its been developed by a company based in california. Not really anyone in japans fault it took this long...
Here we go again!
This would have excited me to no end about half a year ago, but now I want the DSi version! =P
@ Linkstrikesback
Ah, yes, you are right. I was thinking it's Japanese because the game is made by Daisuke Amaya. So it is a Japanese & American "conspiracy" to keep Europeans waiting. Hahaha! Anyway... I'm happy it's released in Europe too.
Great for Europe. I really like the WW demo, but I think I'll eventually get the lower priced DSiWare. It's definitely a game worth paying for (and since I probably won't mess with the extras, I can better justify it if I can bring it on the go.)
Heh. I've been waiting ages for this, but now I wonder if I don't want the DS version!
Yeah, just one another week... I'll get this on the first day.
What a ridiculously long wait.
....Still gonna get it on DSiware, probably. If they don't make us wait another greater part of a year, at least!
