Cave Story has optional new music, graphics
GoNintendo spoke to Tyrone Rodriguez of Nicalis, the developer responsible for the new WiiWare version of Cave Story, and got a lot of very good news. Yes, there will be remixed music, from Yann van der Cruyssen, aka Nurykabe. There will also be some kind of graphical upgrade. That's great, but it's not the good news.
The good news is that you can turn that stuff off if it turns out not to be as good as classic Cave Story. "Yes, the old music and graphics will both be retained via a switch," Rodriguez said. "You'll also be able to mix-and-match audio and visuals."
There's even better news, in fact. Pixel is involved with this project! He even answered a couple of questions. About the project: "Working on this project is like a dream come true; sometimes it feels like it's too good to be true. And I feel very lucky because Cave Story has the support of such a strong fanbase."

personally, I don't like the new graphics and sound, but it was a wise move letting you mix it like you wanted! But this graphical upgrade, is this the same upgrade as the PSP version? or is the PSP version getting some other look?
Anyways, Pixel deserves the money so much! maybe he will make a new game if he earns some cash :)

Awesome!
I really am happy to hear that there will be some features unique to this download beyond the PC version. Personally, I would buy it just to be able to play it on the Wii, but this really makes it worth it.
Peace,

Uh.. If you are talking about the whole Variant thing then you are well out of the loop.
It surprises me the number of people that foolishly believe that Variant was an honest game company or that an official PSP port will be coming out one day.
Though there was a homebrew PSP port, but it looked and sounded exactly like the original.
