You guys are lucky, this is an awesome game and you never really get bored with it. You might get frustrated and not play it for a few days but when you come back you'll manage to pass whatever part you were stuck at. You die a lot in the game but it never seems unfair.
I've beaten it on Xbox with its horrible d-pad, almost hacked together a NES controller because I was so fed up with the 360 d-pad but I ended up not needing it.
I hope you guys get better support than we did. There is a world where you can get on the internet and download levels, sadly on Xbox they haven't updated those levels in years or released anything new.
Also this game was supposed to be released for the Wii when it came out on 360 but they never finished the port. I was sad about that because I was looking forward to begin able to play it with a classic controller. I think it would have sold well if they had made it for the console.
Yeah, I was able to beat this on PC with a 360 controller. I actually don't have too many complaints about the d-pad, other than it being uncomfortable to use for extended amounts of time.
The Wii version never being released is sad indeed. Nintendo screwed up in that regard IMO. Their size limitation on Wiiware titles is what killed the project. It would have been a great game for the Wiimote.

The 360 d-pad is awful because they couldn't copy the one Nintendo had. Nintendo d-pad have always been great and they have a patent on the design. That's why I was so excited about the Wii port, I'd finally be able to use a proper d-pad to beat the game. I did manage to finish the light world on the Xbox 360 with the stock d-pad, but there were several times where I felt like it got me killed.
I've played it on PC too with an Xbox One controller that has a much improved d-pad. I managed to speed run the light world because I was so used to it after all those attempts to beat it on Xbox.
I haven't played the game in months but I still need to beat the Dark world and get the real ending. I have all of the dark world levels unlocked, I'm up to world 4 or 5 IIRC but I'm taking a break. I usually play that game for a few day then either play something else of not touch the Xbox for a month or so.
I hear you on the WiiWare size limitations! They did that because the internal memory on the Wii is so small. They should have released an official external HDD so you could hold more games and release bigger titles. On the upside having a disc copy of Meta Boy would be awesome!
A disc copy would have been awesome, and now that you mention it, I'm not sure why it didn't happen. They made quite a bit of change from the Xbox and PC version, surely a publisher would have picked them up for Wii retail.

What changes did they make? I played it on my brothers computer one day (I built it ) when I was visiting my parents. I didn't notice many changes but I ran through the game really fast. I can speed run most of the levels in the light world now assuming I have a good controller.
I can't figure out why they didn't port it either. There are some old articles somewhere talking about the port but I don't feel like using my google-fu to find them at the moment. I would have bought a disc copy of that game for sure. Speaking of disc copies I really wanted the one they released for Mega Man 9 on the Wii but they were sold out in about 5 minutes and they aren't going to make anymore of them.
