WiiWare: IGF Nominated Night Game Coming To WiiWare

The upcoming Cave Story from Nicalis is one of the biggest WiiWare titles coming out this year - but they have another game coming too - Night Game (working title).

Previously announced but without a specific platform, Night Game now officially a WiiWare exclusive title. The game is "part action game and part puzzler", where you must "use real physics to maneuver a mysterious, glowing sphere through vastly different locales". It's simple graphic style is a little reminiscent of last year's World Of Goo, but using physics in an entirely different way, more akin to a a more interactive Incredible Machine.

The game is currently up for nomination for Excellence In Design and the Seumas McNally Grand Prize at the IGF this year, so this is one to look out for.

I sort of see what you're trying to get at here, but Nicalis aren't the developers of Cave Story. Pixel is. Nicalis are just porting it. Nifflas is making Night game, I believe, and since he works at Nicalis, publishing it with them.

I have to back up what YuRiPa said. Quite a misleading title.

My apologies. It's been a little confusing for me since I never really knew much about the original Cave Story.

I've changed the title now :)
