Cave Story's been nominated in the Nintendo Power Awards for Best WiiWare Game, and subsequently, Best Overall Game. Overall is probably a stretch, but there's not too many competitors in the WiiWare category. Just thought I'd bring it up, and it only takes a minute to vote.
And yeah, I'm aware that NP is hardly the epitome of gaming journalism, but hey, some more exposure for Cave Story would be nice, no?

Hai folks,
I am looking for musicians, remixers or composers who know their way around arranging and orchestrating music. This is for a secret little Cave-Story-related project I hope to get going over the next month.
Shoot me an email (germanseabass@gmail.com) or say hi on aim (germn_seabass) if you're interested and we'll chat.
-Sebastian

Pixel has a new game out: Akantares!
Click the little red graphic on the lower-left to download. Don't get too excited, it's not Cave Story 2 or anything, but rather a simple one-on-one missile-trajectory combat game. Fire missiles at your opponent's planet, using the gravity of both your planetoids and the gray spheres scattered throughout the playfield. The game features what I think is Pixel's first net code.
Instructions:
Menu 1: Enter your name.
Menu 2: Lobby. The big white list shows Name and Time for waiting players. The lower-left button is Refresh, and the four buttons on the right are (from the top) Call, Wait, Single Player, and Quit.
If you wait, you will apparently show up in the lobby (there must be some central server), because when I tried waiting, in under a minute I was playing against some presumably Japanese person named “kei” (excellent win, kei!).
Main Gameplay: Adjust direction with the slider and click the button to fire (you probably figured that out). If you’re playing against another human, you’ll also get Emotion buttons to make different faces at your opponent.
Emotions Row 1: Blank, Happy, Angry, Sad, Pleased, Silent, Stupid, Nose
Emotions Row 2: Afraid, Surprised, Despairing, Glasses, Grinning, Annoyed, Confused, Neutral
Sometimes it seems to have trouble connecting; I've gotten stuck more than once with it saying "Acquiring Coordinates..." when it tries to start a game. In fact, I've only been able to connect the one time so far... No, wait, make that two times now, so maybe the problem wasn't on my end after all. Feel free to comment if you have any better or worse luck!

Apparently, a few weeks back, Anthony Gallegos of the RebelFM podcast got to try Cave Story Wii at a Nintendo event... (Not a whole lot of revelations about the Wii port or anything, but I thought the trivia about Pixel was worth sharing, anyway. ;) )

When I run doukutsu (either ./doukutsu.bin w/ native SDL or the supplied libSDL), I cannot enter the New from the keyboard. It's a laptop, but I tried a full size keyboard. Arrow Up, Down, and ESC work. Does anyone have a clue for me? Thanks!

I just started playing Cave Story today after a few years of meaning to get round to it. I knew it was meant to be good but I sort of expected to think "Oh, this is pretty fun" but not be that impressed, whereas in fact I was really impressed and it's instantly become one of the few games that I'd recommend to pretty much anybody. I found games like Metroid and Castlevania quite hard to play because they have quite depressing moods to them with no real variance to the mood but Cave Story has a real mix of emotions and an over all fun atmosphere that makes it very easy to play.
Anyway, the actual reason for this post is, as the title suggests, to do with finding Ikachan - I just thought I should do some sort of introduction beforehand. I'm trying to find Ikachan but all search results eventually lead to http://www.tinsanity.net which seems to be down (hopefully just temporarily). Can anyone point me in the direction of an alternative download location for the game, please?

Cave Story fanart icons. ♥ Since the Wii port, the arts have been a bit easier to find. I don't have the sources, since I got them either from one of the *Chans or Danbooru.
  
Oh, and a friends only banner~
(This is totally not a fake cut! ♥)

I decided to see what the Cave Story icon would look like with the new Quote in it. I turned it into an incredibly simple wallpaper, and figured I may as well share it to keep this place interesting.
It's 16:9 1920x1080 as I recently bought a new monitor. Not many people have monitors this resolution, but it's a gray background so I'm pretty sure it's easy to crop even for a 3 year old.
On a side note, I imagine it would work well for PS3's and media centers which have a wallpaper option.

My tattooist friend Victor did this for me today, and yeah I know there's a line out of place with his left arm where it goes into the body, but that'll be fixed up once the tattoo has fully healed.

Hey Guys. Finally finished Cave Story (Hard Ending) over this weekend. New to this community, but have been watching it for a long time (especially for Cave Story DS). Made some Perler Bead crafts of Cave Story stuff.
Turned out pretty well in my opinion. I've run out of white beads though, so it doesn't look like Balrog is going to be constructed in the near future. I'll see if I can grab some more.
Cheers!
