I've seen multiple demos out there, but I can't find anything more recent than mid-2007. Is it still in progress somewhere? Has it really been abandoned? Why? I was so looking forward to it! What/where is the most recent demo release?
Cave Story DS: What happened? Is it gone?

If I remember correctly, Pixel (and possibly Nicalis & Nintendo) has requested that all forms of Cave Story porting (and modding?) to be stopped. Essentially a C&D. Most likely due to legal issues arising for said projects because of the WiiWare release. (any finished projects are safe to distribute, I think)
And unfortunately, it seems that ravenworks, the original guy porting the game to the DS, has rerouted the project's page to Nicalis' Cavestory.com. Lucky for us, he left an old link back in Livejournal... (I won't provide the link since I don't know if it's allowed here...)
Last NDS build had basic mechanics available; no GUI, no moving between rooms, no damage, no weapons, no sound effects, no scripts.
...and anybody is free to correct me if they desire!

The halt in porting (only porting, not modding) is to smooth things over with Nintendo, so I can assume that this is merely temporary. It was not a C&D but a request from Pixel, Ravenworks simply respected his wishes. So the status is "Indefinite Hiatus".
I believe I heard that the unreleased version held by Ravenworks is much more advanced than the last public release.

I REALLY hope it gets done soon. I've found tons of homebrew DS games for my AceKard, but the one I was hoping for the most was CS. Whether it's a C&D or indefinite hiatus... I hope it's the latter, although neither is desireable. The demo I have matches the description dqle gave, so it must be the most recent. Rats, I was hoping for a newer one. 
BTW, is the CS for Wii pay-per-download, or is it free? If they're profiting from it, I hope Pixel got a fortune for it!

As with all WiiWare titles, Cave Story will cost some Nintendo Points. How much remains to be seen, but I'm expecting around 1000 points, or $10 USD. (once downloaded under an account, that account will have access to it indefinitely)
From your description, brianbdm, I believe I was talking about the same DS file. Ah, if only andwhyisit had more info on the not yet released build...
...and I have no idea how the money will be split between Nintendo/Nicalis/Pixel.

Not all Wii stuff costs money. I know that there are one or two that don't. The internet channel USED to be free, or so I've heard.

Was when I got it. The only things that are free are things released in updates, some channels, and things that aren't yet complete.

That's true, but I said WiiWare stuff. The only things that are free to download are the Wii Channels and WiiWare Demos. (the Internet Channel was free for a few months after launch, then they asked for 500 points. They then changed their minds, making it free again; anybody who spent points had an option to download a free NES title)Not all Wii stuff costs money.
I haven't heard of such news, though if you can find it, then that makes you awesome.I thought nicalis said they're trying to get it priced at 800 points
