Zack & Wiki

I don’t normally comment on game releases, but I thought I’d throw this one out there just to help spread some awareness. Today marks the release of Capcom’s original title for the Nintendo Wii, Zack and Wiki: Quest for Barbaros’ Treasure.

Okay, I’m not going to dance around it, it has got to have one of the worst names in recent history. It’s just a terrible, terrible name. Someone at Capcom was clearly confused and had no idea how to market this thing.

Anyway, what I do know is that considering the amount of absolute garbage on Wii, especially from third parties, it’s refreshing to see something like Zack and Wiki come to the console. It has a charming Wind Waker-like art style going for it, it apparently plays like a classic point and click adventure game, it’s getting solid reviews, and it’s only 40 dollars. I plan on picking it up later today, I’ll let you know how it turns out.

I’ve been following this game and it looked good. I wanna get it but it seems it would be one of those games where I’ll get mad and start breaking wiimotes.
