Damn it. Now I have to go back and finish Cave Story's Hard mode after seeing this awesomeness.

Owning a Wii has just become justified.

But it's on the Wii; it's a choir getting me to actually turn my Wii on (last time was at Mario Kart launch) let alone attempt to get "online" with it. I don't think this will really matter for me.

@Sammo21: Don't bother going online. It's still as pathetic and crappy as ever. I just tried it out a couple days ago, and it was like playing a game at 5 fps. Why do games on the wii, which are probably sending alot less information back and forth so much choppier and crappier than games on the ps3 and xbox, which are sending WAY more information.

@DeadlyWhispers: Less graphics doesn't mean less information. online games are done by sending packets of data containing player positions (includes all actions and results from that player) and sends it to a host, which processes that information and determines outcomes, sending that data to the participating systems. Just one bad connection could slow down the entire process.

The more you know. *rainbow*

@aw3str1k3r: I'm not talking solely about graphics. It doesn't send graphic info. But they are dealing with alot more players on both other systems (60 on resistance 2) with little to no slowdown most of the time. Why can't nintendo make a game with only 4 people to run smoothly? I mean it's smash bros for cryin' out loud, what's so hard about that? Every time I play ANY nintendo game online, it's nearly unplayable. They should stop concentrating on things like wii music and work on getting things that people actually want, like smooth online play.

@DeadlyWhispers: I'm actually kind of glad the Wii isn't as online capable as the PS3/X360. If the Wii had good online gaming, it might prevent me from modding it so that I can play import games.

As it stands, choosing between Wii's Import Titles and Wii's Online Network is like choosing between a juicy steak with all the fixings and a stale cookie.

I dunno, I've already beaten Cave Story on my PC and on my PSP, and both of those versions were free. The WiiWare version had better have more than just high-res sprites to get me to pay money for it.

@hitstun:It's called supporting the dev. You know the guy who made the free game you beat.

Anyone else bothered by the boss's dialogue text spilling out of the text box? Bueller?

Looks great. I have the PC version, but never got too far... this reminds me of a hyped-up version of "Legacy of the Wizard" for the NES. Mega points to anyone who remembers that one.

@Sustenance: The product is still being worked on, hence the error with the text box.
