Have you heard?  I’m sure you have since the news is about a week old but… Cave Story (Doukutsu Monogatari) is coming to WiiWare.  If you don’t know what Cave Story is, it’s and indie game made by one guy that calls himself PIXEL.  It took him 5 years to make and easily is the best indie game out there.  No kidding.  It seriously puts a lot of developed for money buy big studio games to shame in terms of charm and story.  It’s a really epic game too and, I would have to say, my favorite indie game.

The game is out there for free right now so anyone can try it.  That means PIXEL will have to work in some new stuff for those that download the game.  But best of all, this will bring to Cave Story a whole new set of players that might not have heard of the game.  Just thinking that makes me happy.

Cave Story is a great game.  It’s a game that deserves to be played.  Finally, four years after it’s release, it’s getting the attention that it deserves.

Go download it here if you haven’t played it before.
