Media: Cave Story Coming to WiiWare! Five Screens and Fact Sheet
October 3, 2008 | 12:49 PM PST



At long last, the PC cult favorite Cave Story is making its way to consoles, all thanks to WiiWare! Check out the five screens we have in our gallery, and the fact sheet below.

We're not sure when the fact sheet was written, but yesterday's press release from Nintendo slated it as a Holiday title, while the fact sheet says it will arrive in "early 2009." We'll keep tabs on that one.

What's more, this seems to be a different game from the PC classic, at least storywise. Check out the details as we have them:

Arguably the most well-known indie game of all time, Cave Story features an completely original storyline perfect for the Wii audience.

Cave Story is an action-adventure game from the critically acclaimed
independent designer, Daisuke Amaya--or Pixel to his fans.

Overflowing with unmatched charm and character, Cave Story takes players into a world where a race of rabbit-like creatures, called Mimigas, run free on a serene floating island.

The once-carefree world is in danger of disaster at the hands of a maniacal
doctor. The Mimigas' only hope is in the hands of a quiet, amnesiac soldier
named Quote. Players take control of Quote and learn the origins of the
floating island's power.
