Slowly-but-surely, all my favorite indie games are making their way to home consoles. Cave Story is already out WiiWare, Spelunky is coming to XBLA, Super Meat Boy is coming to both XBLA and WiiWare, And Yet it Moves is coming to WiiWare, and now Noitu Love 2 is on it's way to WiiWare too. To quote that guy on American Idol that I don't care about in any way, "I'm a FAAAAN!"
Details are scant at the moment; no press release, no hype trailers, just a teaser image on Golgoth Studio's Facebook page and a tiny announcement paragraph to match. Golgoth are the guys remaking the bizarre spitting caveman simulator Toki, so they just might be awesome.
Like Toki, Noitu Love 2 has been around for a while. You can read all about it, download a demo, check out a trailer, and buy the PC version for $10, all right here. The game plays a lot like a Treasure run-and-gun shmup, like Gunstar Super Heroes mixed with Sin and Punishement 2, but unlike those games, Noitu Love 2 was made by just one guy.
Unlike Cave Story's creator of Pixel, Noitu Love 2's creator Joakim Sandberg puts creating new games high on his list of life priorities. He's worked on titles for major publishers, like Contra IV, as well as a few of games on his own, including the oft-adored Zelda tribute Legend of Princess and the artsy, draw-and-kill arcade game Chalk. With the exception of Noitu Love 2, all his games are free, and unlike your fantasy baseball team, this sh*t is for real.

FUCKING. HELL. YEAH!
Konjak is one of my favorite dudes ever, the fact that he has also worked for WayForward makes him even cooler.
this man must be working in a secret conspiracy only known as "Project Ekans"!
... and the main character in this game is Xoda Rap. Work that one out on your own, kiddies.

i've got to agree with you, playing these games on pc isn't nearly as good as on the wii. the whole small screen/keyboard input thing just ruins it for me. yes, i know i can hook my computer up to the tv and get a pc pad, but isn't that the reason why i have a console in the first place?
At any rate, it's better than Sonic 4. Har har har.
The demo was pretty good. The graphics looked nice and combat system is really fun.
although i already bought it around the time it was released. and beat it.
if you guys really want it, ya should just pony up the 10 bucks now. its worth it.
i wonder if the WiiWare version will have any new characters?
