Ron Gilbert is something of a legend in gaming circles; he's the genius behind such LucasArts classics as Maniac Mansion and The Secret of Monkey Island.
He's currently working alongside fellow ex-LucasArts staffer Tim Schafer at Double Fine Productions, and The Cave is his latest venture.
Described as a 'Metroidvania'-style platform romp, it tasks the player with selecting a trio of characters from a cast of seven. You must then use the unique skills of each protagonist to overcome the various puzzles scattered throughout the titular cave.
The Cave has already been confirmed as a digital download title for PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade, but at the recent PAX 2012 event, Double Fine representative Greg Rice stated that it is also heading to the Wii U eShop.

Looks interesting. Very interesting.
Ever since I played Psychonauts my interest in double fine has peaked.
I'm really looking forward to this.
Very pleased to see this come to Wii U. I wonder if SEGA will publish this version as well as the others.
This game looks REALLY interesting!
Color me interested. Metroid style games are one of my favorites.
@TwilightPoint YES I thought that I was the only human on earth who played psychonauts XD the game is one of my favs lol
Psychonauts was one of the most original and fun games I have ever played. No exaggeration. Also, this game looks pretty cool. I can't wait to hear more about it.
watches trailer looks like it will be a great game, keep getting the games Nintendo, the Wii U is shaping up to be a system I really want. But, you need to keep getting the games...
Looks very promissing.
Looks pretty awesome, but what's with the "May Contain Content Inappropriate For Children" label at the beginning? This looks more E-10 in my opinion
Looks great. Can't wait to try it.
This looks awesome, And the Wii U looks like it's getting alot of third party support let's see if they'll keep it up after it's launch.
This is great good to see Wii U getting support from the Indie devs.
Looks like Trine 2 a bit, with an aesthetic more my cuppa tea. Will definitely wait for this on the 'U. Double Fine has a crazy-wide range... still excited to try Costume Quest (have it dl'ed on my 360 but am waiting for October to play.)
I'm guessing the Wii U will be the next SNES when the SNES got a lot of third party support!
I'm kinda reminded of those claymation Tim Burton movies for some reason.
I thought this was another version of Cave Story for a second.
I read it as "Rod Gilbert",as in the Comedian.
Oh, another 3D platforming game.
Another big name game. Wii U shapes up to something.
"Looks" good, not sure if I'm interested yet though. I can't say I played Maniac Mansion though I've heard rave reviews, and I have played Secret of Monkey Island which I really liked.
Could be fun!
