Cave Story Wii scheduled for April or May date

Nicalis, who are working on the WiiWare port of the 2004 freeware action-adventure, Cave Story, have posted an update on their site talking about their work on the game. In the update they comment they are now in “crunch mode,” and are working hard on trying to get the game out on time. That date could be “May or even end of April” if everything goes to plan.

Tyrone Rodriguez, the man largely responsible for making the port happen, comments: “Hello! I hope you missed us. Sorry for the break. There’s a reason we’ve been MIA for the last couple of weeks. No, we’re still not dead–we’re officially in crunch mode and trying our best to wrap up Cave Story! If all goes well, you’ll be playing Cave Story by the beginning of May or even end of April”

The rest of the team also commented on their work right now in the same blog post should you be interested in reading their thoughts.

The WiiWare version of Cave Story boasts a whole host of updates from original PC version. These include widescreen support, 480p display options, enhanced graphics and music.
