Check out this blurb from a 1UP preview of Cave Story…
“At this point, Cave Story is a practically done deal. Sure, Nicalis has been saying that for a year now, but this time they can back it up. Rodriguez pointed out a few minor bugs in the demo version as I played — trivial issues, like a misplaced line of dialogue — but clarified that we were looking at an older build of the game. The current version, he says, has made it through its complete reprogramming and visual facelift (courtesy of original Cave Story creator Daisuke “Pixel” Amaya) and is currently working its way through Nintendo’s approval process. Assuming all goes well, Cave Story will be up for download within a matter of weeks.”
Cave Story is supposedly releasing this month in Europe and Q3 in North America. We’ve been waiting for the game for quite awhile, but it’s almost here!

However, it looks like Nintendo’s attempt to end all homebrew activity has failed – even with their most aggressive action yet. A fix is already available for all Wii owners and there are a few options available depending on whether or not the program has been previous installed
