FINALLY, Cave Story comes out for WiiWare. Is it worth the wait and 1200 points?
The big release coming this Sunday will be the new DSi XL. Along with it, Nintendo is releasing America’s Test Kitchen and WarioWare DIY. And now Nintendo is putting out Game & Watch titles for download, kinda makes me want a DSi.
The other big DS releases this week are Shin Megami Tensei and Dawn of Heroes. The Wii gets a new MotionPlus game, Red Steel 2, which we hope will be better than the first Red Steel game. But if there’s one game coming out that I need to learn more about, it has to be Squishy Tank. How about you? Click on in for the full list.

Price: 1,200 Wii Pointsâ„¢
Description: Cave Story takes you into a rare world where a curious race of innocent, rabbit-like creatures called Mimiga run free. You wake up in a dark cave with no memory of who you are, where you came from or why you’re in such a place. Uncovering Mimiga Village, you discover that the once-carefree Mimiga are in danger at the hands of a maniacal scientist. Their only hope rests squarely on the shoulders of a quiet, amnesiac boy who can’t remember his own name. Take control, learn the origins of this world’s power, stop the delusional villain and save the Mimiga.
