Cave Story: "You Have Died."

I'm not sure how I missed it, but Cave Story, a fantastic retro throwback to the 8-Bit age, is now available as WiiWare.
Cave Story was unleashed on the net a few years ago. It's free to play; and though it has since been translated into English, it is decidedly Japanese. The WiiWare version costs 1200 points ($12), has updated graphics, a second playable character, new gameplay modes, and improved English localization. But, if you want to get a taste of why this game has been so well received by almost everyone, you can download it here: Doukutsu Monogatari - Cave Story
I played it a bit last night and some more this morning. Thus far I've only managed to die... A LOT! I'd consider firing up the Wii and buying the game, but I still have a ton to do around the house. So you guys do that and let me know what you think.
