 Cave Story is a PC title that has previously flown under the radar of many gamers due to its independent development. Regardless, the game has amassed a significant following, a following great enough to influence a port of the game to Nintendo's WiiWare service.    

The action-adventure puts players in control of Quote, who needs to save the rabbit-like Mimigas and their floating island, Mimiga, from an evil doctor. Over the course of the story players will learn the power of the floating isle and conclude the story with one of three unique endings.    

Sporting ten unique weapons to find and upgrade, players must utilize their tools to conquer the fifteen levels and over twenty bosses in the game. New character designs from the creator and designer of Cave Story, Daisuke Amaya, have also been created for the WiiWare release.    

Classic Controller and 16:9 support is included. Players will be able to experience Cave Story on WiiWare early next year.

I've played the game on the PC. I wasn't very good though-I couldn't even get to the bad ending.

Well, the bad ending is roughly two dungeons before the end boss (kinda like all those Castlevania bad endings, more of a "what happens if I do this?" novelty than a real ending) so it's not much of a difference to beating the game.
