WiiWare: New Cave Story Media - Fact Sheet, Video Released

Kombo seems to have gotten its hands on the press release for the upcoming Cave Story port for WiiWare. It looks like they're doing some great care with it too.

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.

GAME FEATURES:
o Offers standard definition and Wii-exclusive progressive (480p)
graphics
o 4:3 and 16:9 resolution support
o New character designs by creator/designer, Daisuke Amaya
o 10 unique weapons to find and upgrade
o Over 20 boss battles through Mimiga Island
o 15 levels to explore in the vast world
o Classic Controller support
o Three unique endings

IGN have also broken a bit of an embargo (supposedly), and have released 3 new videos of the game - one above, and two more you can view here.

The website should also be updating later today. Keep an eye on http://www.cavestorywii.com for the latest information.
