One very worthwhile Cave Story screen
Cave Story remake developer Nicalis has been spreading exclusive content around the web, turning our daily news crawling into a delightful Cave Story scavenger hunt. The latest release is this screenshot found on WiiWare World, featuring the updated, redrawn graphics.
We have feared that the increased definition in the sprites and environments would change too much of Cave Story's unique look, but Pixel knows what he is doing. The new look is more detailed, but still retro -- it just looks like somebody sharpened the focus.
If you haven't tried Cave Story yet, don't worry about waiting for the WiiWare version. Play the freeware game now. You'll be ready to start again when the Wii game comes out.
We're not going to stop talking about Cave Story any time soon. You may as well read up on it and join the discussion!

Nice that it says to try the freegame first
("If you haven't tried Cave Story yet, don't worry about waiting for the WiiWare version. Play the freeware game now.").
Question I have is where can we try/download the freeware game?

Thanks for sharing this link! I'd previously found only the Japanese version of Cave Story for the Mac; your link provides the English translation patch as well. Yippee!
