If you haven't played this game, you have not experienced video gaming. Cave Story is a 2D side-scrolling freeware indy game developed by Daisuke Amaya (AKA Pixel) from 1999-2004. It contains that platforming style we see in the earlier Mario games, the guns and equipment of Metroid, with some interesting elements thrown in, and a story deep as any other game you'll play.
You can find an English download of the game here.
If you have played this game, what are your most memorable moments? Personally, I loved the part where Balrog is forced into helping you escape the Labyrinth. That was a hilarious moment.
I just got the machine gun.
Meaning I just met Curly Brace.
I was so jittery afterwards.
Getting that masheen gan to level 3 is win, only because JETPACK YEAAAAH.
The puppy is also hilarious.

Anyway, does anyone know when the WiiWare version is dated for release? Google is giving me tons of different dates, many of which have already passed, and the game is not currently on WiiWare.

OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE THEY DONE!?!? Why would anybody want to listen to that!? They upgrade the graphics, but they downgrade the music! It's ear-piercingly LOUD and they turned down the tempo. It's supposed to be fast-paced! Doesn't that composer have any idea what they're doing!?

They allow you to revert the music to the originals so don't worry.
I think this is probably just a placeholder date, saying the game should be released sometime this year. But with the game being 3 years in development, Nicalis seems to be working a lot like Valve/Blizzard time.
I think it's too easy, to be honest. A good action game is straight to the point, but requires some work and good reflexes put into it. As long as you take it slow and easy, it's an easy game. I do think the weapon leveling system is particularly ingenious, but you need more challenge to really make it work.
The story is okay, but the music is fantastic. Even if it is comprised of chiptunes, I love the way it's composed.

Any game would. Unless it's even easier by the nature of it's design. I like shumps with a high difficulty, but are easy to pick up and focus on reflexes, and less of memorization. Those games, unfortunately, are getting rarer and rarer. Cave Story wasn't bad though, and I'd give Pixel accolades if he were in a game design class. But I've played better.

FFFFFUUUUU
The first boss in the labyrith, the robot thing with wheels, is really kicking my ****!
I've gotten it below half health, but those fishlles just start becoming too hard to dodge.
If I try killing the fishlles, the wheels get me.

It is a pain in the ass to kill. I can't do it at all on the PC.
It took me many many tries to kill that boss. You shoulda got the bubbler. That's why it was so hard for me; I hadn't known it even existed until after I entered the labyrinth and couldn't go back to get it.

It's pretty easy. Just use the bubbler as a shield. WHen he opens up spam him with Level 3 Rockets/Blade. Doing that will get rid of him pretty quick.
