Rondo of Bloodhit the Virtual Console today, and it’s awesome. To have one of the most sought after and critically acclaimed 2D action/platformers ever made for a mere nine bucks seems too good to be true. That’s not an easy act to follow, but if there is any game that has a chance at outshiningRondo, it’sCave Story.
The game hits WiiWare exactly one week from today, and I couldn’t be more excited. To get a brief idea of how the game looks (and sounds) check out the video above. Not only will you get a sense of what kind of improvements the game has seen since it’s freeware days (including Time Attack and Boss Rush modes), but you’ll also get a peek into the minds of Pixel (the game’s creator) and Nicalis (the man responsible for the WiiWare port). I especially like the bit where Pixel talks about how to change soap into a videogame character. These guys are clearly making games for the right reasons, and I love them for it.

In otherCave Storynews, it looks like Quote wont be the only playable character this time around. Thesescreens from Wiiz.frshow that Quote’s little robo-moe pal Curly Brace might be getting into the action solo, and not just as the occasional attack-assistant. Quite righteous indeed.
In case you missed it, we rankedCave Story23rd on our top 100 games of the last decadelist. Yeah, it’s a good game alright, and these additions will only make it better. If you don’t buy this game, then aren’t you sort of a jackass?
