We’re quite ecstatic over the fact that Cave Story is coming to WiiWare, but what is perhaps even more exciting is that this version of Pixel’s classic 2D platformer will feature an extended experience with all-new downloadable content. Says indy developer Nicalis:

We’re still working away at Cave Story trying to make sure it’s faithful to Pixel’s original while adding a few things for the console release. One of these new additions, I’m happy to announce is Download Content. I think we received enough e-mails demanding it that we’re doing our best to include some new surprises in the WiiWare release. You’re going to have to wait for more info on that.

While there’s no word on what will be released DLC-wise just yet, at least you can now let your imagination run wild. We’d expect new levels are a given, but there are many other aspects of the title ripe for expansion as well. New characters, weapons, power-ups, the list goes on.

And Hello Again! [Nicalis]
