• Cave Story

Based on the successful 2004 freeware indie video game for PC under the same name, Cave Story (Japanese title, Doukutsu Monogatari) will be making its appearance in new form as a WiiWare title in early 2009. According to 1UP it has been said to be "so massive that it rivals modern GBA Castlevania and Metroid games in terms of scope and play time." The WiiWare version will be developed by Nicalis with producer Tyrone Rodriguez. It will have "new, exclusive content and features" including widescreen and 480p display options, and new character designs by the original artist, Daisuke Amaya (also known as art-name, Pixel). The game will feature new graphics and music created for the game, but players will be able to switch them for the original music and visuals.

Excerpt:
The once-carefree world is in danger of disaster at the hands of a new threat. The Mimigas' (rabbit-like creatures) only hope is in the hands of a quiet, amnesiac boy who can't remember his own name. Players take control of the main character and learn the origins of the island's power.
