How did I miss this?!? Confirmed in the latest Nintendo Power, Nicalis (Cave Story, Night Game) is handling the port.

Link to a Penny-Arcade thread with the updated graphics... very nice.

Honestly didn't see this one coming. Cave Story was nice enough but this... this is a hard game. VERY hard and there's a ton of trial and error involved. But it's also huge.

Now with 60% more chance of spontaneous combustion.
----------------------------
The graphics aren't bad... but it (actually the entire fact of porting it) kinda ruins the whole MSX deal.

Then again, it says they replaced the MSX roms, so I guess it makes sense.

It's about time this game gets the spotlight it deserves. La-Mulana is one of the best indie games I've ever played, right up there with Cave Story, An Untitled Story and Iji. Those graphics look really great too and hey, as long as the original developers are on board (which they seem to be) I can't see how it can go wrong *knocks on wood*.

It's great that all these popular indie games are getting their chance with WiiWare's service. I wonder what could be next...

that's interesting, I wonder if it'll have the same charm with the MSX emphasis removed. I wonder if they'll make it easier somehow, too. hopefully a backstory to the La Mulana's development will be included, it's an incredible game that deserves a lot of attention.

I hope they keep the difficulty the same level, or at least provide difficulty options if they do change it. I'm curious as to how the game will control. It uses a lot of the keys on the keyboard, not just arrows and a couple buttons. Like, the Grail warps used numbers and the Matagama (or whatever) Jewel used all the letters. I wonder how easy they'll go on hints as well...the original got pretty obscure with hints at times.

Maybe some actual CLEAR HINTS would help. I mean, I don't think too many people would be put off at the idea of having even more hints included in the game, or maybe a list of item descriptions/rom combos. This is one of those games where a little bit of hand-holding wouldn't hurt too much.

(I quit the last playthrough after accidentally I'm dumb.)

Then again, watch Nicalis pull a Cave Story on this and have the same options for graphics and music (old/new).

By easy on hints I meant "giving more of them/less obscure ones". Seriously, the chain whip puzzle is just torture without major help. And the whole Charity and Kindness riddle that spans three tablets in all different parts of the game? Yeah, hand-holding please. I'd like to beat it without resorting to the LP walkthrough for once...

And it would be cool for them to add in those graphic and music options for nostalgia's sake.

...What?

This is one of those games I never expected to see on wiiware.

I did never beat the PC version so I hope this one is not as insanely hard.

They picked the right music for the trailer!

Looks really, really promising so far. First few levels seem to be in the books so maybe they're on track for an end-of-year release.

Looking at the trailer, the updated graphical style reminds me a lot of the DS Metroidvania games. Fitting, seeing as La-Mulana is pretty much one, albeit way bigger

Maze of Galious should be next. La-Mulana is a great game.

Konami would have to do that one, though. Fingers crossed.

It's funny... WiiWare churns out a lot of crap, but the games that stand out are ones that we want to play soooo badly.
