A work-in-progress screenshot of Cave Story WiiWare.

The Cave Story press release reveals that the Wii port is being developed by Nicalis, Inc. Nicalis happens to employ Knytt creator Nifflas. If it can’t be a one-man Studio Pixel project, this is about as excellent a choice as could be made.

IGN took some off-screen videos of the game in action from today’s Nintendo conference, and it looks pretty much like it’s supposed to. The font has changed from the one used in the English patch of the original, but I guess I can allow that. I do not believe the music and sound effects in these clips to be final. I… will not believe that.

The official Cave Story site will open on Monday. Until then, you can go and enjoy a giant Quote.
