I just hope this comes to Europe on WiiWare. I've seen one WiiWare game I'd want to buy: Gyrostarr. And it's still not out in the WiiWare shop when I check it out, but Strong bad episode 2 is. I hope I won't miss out on cave story as well

The DS port stalled a ways back as far as I can tell. Doesn't look like that will ever get released.

Anonymous, all homebrew ports were officially halted per Pixel's request since he was working on this.

Well, the 'confirmed' link is on Nintendo's official website, so I'd hope it's real enough for everyone.
This is great news, though. Day it's out, baby.

ds is getting a freebie port
someone is doing a project about it
I know - the project didn't move forward for months or even years so I'd rather go for an official port with some financial backing. =)

could happen, too. nintendo announced yesterday that the new version of the ds (nov. in japan, spring in the u.s.) is going to have a "DSWare" service.
