In wikipedia is written that these two are two ways of writing Norwegian, but after I read more about them I left with the impression that they are two different languages - they have different cases, different number of genders, different conjugation for verbs, etc. Are they still considered as one language no matter of that or what?

Hey, naw, we just say that they're two different versions of the same thing. See our language history and you'll see why we have two written languages. We don't have any cases in Norwegian., and they don't have different genders, except some words might change from masculine(bokmål) to feminine (nn), this is because of Danish, which only has two genders. They're pretty alike, different spelling mostly. If you ask me, the policy of having to official NORWEGIAN languages is just bull..
