Headlining this week is Cave Story, Nicalis's indie sensation. Starting life as a free PC game by Pixel, the game received a WiiWare update, which was released on March 22, 2010. Today, a demo of the WiiWare version has been added to the demos section of the Wii Shop Channel. In addition, a DSiWare version was released today. For 1,000 DSi Points ($10), players will get to experience Mimiga Village and uncover the plot behind their existence.
The second DSiWare title this week is Frenzic, a puzzle game from Two Tribes that promises to challenge players' minds with gameplay that is easy to learn, but challenging to master. Frenzic can be downloaded for 200 DSi Points ($2). From Big John Games comes this week's third DSiWare title, Spot It! Challenge. Based on the Spot-It series of books by Capstone Press, the main objective is to spot different objects in 10 different puzzles. The item-finding game is priced at 200 DSi Points ($2).
Lemon Games has the first WiiWare title for the week, Airport Mania: First Flight. The 500 Wii Point ($5) title has players going to many airports trying to catch flights and avoiding delays. From airports, we jump to disc golf with HB Arcade Disc Golf from HB Studios Multimedia. The 1,000 Wii Point ($10) game is a disc golf simulator where players can take control of how they toss the disc as they try to get as many discs in the basket as possible.
The Virtual Console section of the Wii Shop Channel receives the final game for the week, Magical Drop II for the Neo Geo. A 900 Wii Point ($9) puzzle title, players will be popping balloons of the same color and creating chains in order to gain the highest score possible.
I tried out the Cave Story demo. It reminded me too much of NES Metroid, a game which I don't like, and I'm not a fan of retro-styled games, so the demo does nothing but solidify my choice to pass it over.

Dear And Yet It Moves Developers:
Likewise with your demo. Loved it. Would like to purchase the full version of it as well. Will not, due to Nintendo's asinine DRM.

Yeah, I had tried the PC demo and didn't like that as much... might break down and get it though.Dear And Yet It Moves Developers:

But doesn't the Steam version have you rotate the world in 90 degree increments instead of giving you 100% control over the environment?
On what difficulty setting did you play it on, though?I tried all three to see what the differences are. I also tried both the new and original music, and both were ear-piercing, though the new was less so.
Dear Cave Story developers:I thought you still had tens of thousands of points. What has changed?
I enjoyed the demo of your game and would be interested in downloading the DSiWare version of it. However, due to Nintendo's insane and unreasonable DRM restrictions, I have not downloaded it. Just wanted to let you know, the reason I haven't purchased it has *nothing* to do with the game itself and 100% to do with Nintendo.
At the least, that would make the game control better, and would probably allow for better level design too.Dear And Yet It Moves Developers:
