Cave Story is finally being released on WiiWare next week, so The Nintendo Channel talked to the port’s producer, Tyrone Rodriguez, and the game’s creator, Daisuke Amaya, better know among Cave Story fans as Pixel. Pixel explains where Balrog came from and what he hopes new players get out of the game.

The interview is pretty amusing, in part because Pixel still seems incredulous about the fact that his game is going to be on a modern day console. And I think it is doubly interesting for anyone else who’s played through the game recently, as I’m sure I’m not the only person who went through the Cave Story again in anticipation of the WiiWare release.
