If they normally poop on Wii games, then yes, I think that definitely says something about it.

Oh yeah someone also needs to get EA Playground so I know if it is any good.

Got Zack & Wiki. Can't help you on Playground though....

Tycho salivated over it in today's Penny Arcade news post. That probably generated 30,000 sales or so.

I got mine but . . .

it doesn't look good for Zack & Wiki.

Capcom has completely failed at making this game known AT ALL.

I have a feeling this has the vast potential to become a cult favorite and maybe a sleeper hit if anything but . . . it's very discouraging that:

1) I haven't seen a single Zack & Wiki commercial (where as I see the same damned PSP star wars spot every commercial break on almost ever station, making me want to kill myself)

2) Video Game store employees don't even know about the damned game

3) So few copies are even making it's way into local retailers

How do they expect a new IP to survive without, you know, letting people know it exists? It's just plain frustrating that they don't promote original, new IPs that warrant attention.

Did you...Did you just copy/paste your post? Bad Mashiro, BAD!

Cross forum double post FTW

Lies and slander!

The game is very charming I must say and the super simple controls work out nicely so far.

The marketing as a family friendly game for all ages should practically write itself for this title, Capcom really dropped the ball on this one.

But yeah I am happy I bought the game, it's so far a thumbs up from me =)

I've found something in this game that I'm usually not fond of, and it's not even related to solving the puzzles *sigh*, all I have to say without spoiling the contents is: Bonelich.

Kenology · « **Reply #109 on:** October 24, 2007, 02:42:51 PM »

I got my copy of the game. My local Gamestop really didn't get a lot of copies.

I only popped it in for a little bit, but the game looks and sounds great.

Five levels beated so far, it's very tasty. You know how Shadow of the Colossus was similar to Zelda, just boiled down to the boss battles only? Zak and WIki is like Zelda except boiled down to the enviromental puzzles only.

You don't have to do all the levels in a certain order, you finish one and two more will open up.

bustin98 · « **Reply #111 on:** October 24, 2007, 05:44:36 PM »

Hehe heheh he ehhe heheh .... . . .. You said 'beated'

I just bought the game. I will provide my impressions soon.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #112 on:** October 24, 2007, 06:01:32 PM »

I enjoyed what I played of it but I agree.

It seems like Capcom doesn't want games to succeed on Nintendo systems. Look how few copies they shipped of Phoenix Wright DS and until demand FORCED them to ship more. It's as though they WANT to be able to insist that Nintendo systems don't push sell...

Kairon · « **Reply #113 on:** October 24, 2007, 08:15:50 PM »

Same goes for Konami dontcha think?

Oh, and I played the first 3 levels of this... wow. This is great!

ShyGuy · « **Reply #114 on:** October 24, 2007, 08:32:01 PM »

First world down, onto the ice levels.

Z-dub has a good ramp up for the difficulty so far, but I'm worrying that the other shoe will drop at some point and the game will become super hard.

Shadow of the Colossus was nothing like Zelda... In fact, I thought Ico was more like Zelda... reminded me of Jabu-Jabu stage where you dragged Ruto around and used her in puzzles.

That's a bit unfair. Phoenix Wright was one of those games that could've easily flopped. It needs to be played to be enjoyed because hearing about it sounds ridiculously lame to a lot of people. It's easy to be hard on Capcom for some of their boneheaded moves in the past though I don't think this is one of those times. They should be applauded for even bringing PW over and for being smart enough to port RE4 to Wii and having enough sense to do it justice by reworking the controls, as well as not charging full price for it.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #116 on:** October 24, 2007, 09:20:02 PM »

I think Capcom is just being super cautious with Zack and Wiki. It is up to us to spread the word, we did it with Phoenix Wright and we can do it with Zack and Wiki. If anything PW proved the fans aren't powerless.

Kairon · « **Reply #117 on:** October 24, 2007, 09:25:59 PM »

You'd think they could at least run some Z&W commercials during some kids cartoons, geez....

It's 3rd party sabotage.

Pale · « **Reply #119 on:** October 25, 2007, 02:57:41 AM »

This is Phoenix Wright all over again.

Stupid game is impossible to find.

bustin98 · « **Reply #120 on:** October 25, 2007, 03:19:14 AM »

Paypal and I can grab you one from Walmart Pale...

Ghisy · « **Reply #121 on:** October 25, 2007, 10:47:27 AM »

Okay, after reading a few reviews, I ordered it!
I hope I will like it.

Well I am usually pretty harsh with games but the game OOZES charm and creativity. It is really a wonderful game that shows the vast potential of the Wiimote.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #123 on:** October 25, 2007, 11:37:57 AM »

The animation is some of the best I have seen in any game, There is a spot where you are going down a water slide and some vines flip up as you pass through, it looks fantastic.

Pale · « **Reply #124 on:** October 25, 2007, 12:01:58 PM »

Another trip out today and I came up empty. silly game. silly capcom.
