According to Go Nintendo, Zak and Wiki is off to a good start despite crappy shipments. You can read about it here..

Third parties are doing pretty good in Japan for Wii. Anyway great to see Zack and Wiki get in the top 5.

That's because Nintendo didn't release a new game yet

This isn't Capcom's fault. According to a summary of IGn Wiikly:

- Capcom has found it difficult to get stores to stock Zack and Wiki - very limited. Chobot and Peer found it difficult to get their hands on the game. Disappointed because the game is so awesome.

So it isn't a problem between Capcom and consumers, it's a problem with RETAILERS not expecting CONSUMERS (i.e. YOU) to buy this game. Which COULD HAVE been fixed by some friggin' PRE-ORDERS.

muahahaha.

Also, they say that Capcom was able to ship a ton of copies to Walmart, even though other retailers turned up their noses at them. Might want to check there.

Ya know whats funny and ironic?

Two major 360 and Pc hardcore guys at school have been lookin for a Wii game for awhile now, and I've been selling them on Z&W~! Finally both guys want it and go to 6 or so stores and can NOT find it instead deciding to get a different game . . .

I decided today to call 1 gamestop to see if they have it and they had several just sitting there . . . .

Love the game thus far, I really got stuck on a couple of puzzles.

This is the perfect game to sit down with your loved one, i.e. girlfriend, boyfriend, grandma your dating. . . because its the perfect game to get responses out of everyone in the room.

A whole stack of 8 was at the local WM tonight. And now there's one less.

Best news was the parity price of C$39.83. I was expecting games to still be $10-15 over the US MSRP.

Yay for Walmart! Yay for the Canadian dollar! <--- Two things I never expected to be saying in my entire life.

Lame excuses IMHO.

Gaming isn't a job to me where I have to consciously go out and make sure a product succeeds. That's the companies job. Believe me if Capcom gave any sort of promotion to this title then MAYBE stores would have gotten pre-orders and MAYBE they would have got more copies, if that story is true.

So again, Capcom fails.

Finally got past the second world. I think I'm going to have to replay some levels to get enough money to get more unlockables.

BTW, has anyone been able to do the Bell rhythm game? Impossible MUCH.

optimisticlimbo · « **Reply #160 on:** October 27, 2007, 07:13:30 AM »

I have done 1 Bell rhythm game successfully. The other, not so good. Also, the second world boss level is hard.

I didn't find him that hard, once you figure out angled mirror makes the beam go straight and straight mirror makes the beam go at an angle

Just beat that level. What made it so hard is the fact that there are 3 versions of the level, so every time I would restart, I'd have to figure it all out again.

Lovin the game though.

I got through the second rhythm game. I didn't even think about what I had to do to activate the first. I tried to just pick up the skull but then figured I'd come back to it later.
The secret is learning the correct way to shake the controller and to be controlled about it. Don't just shake it all about. Fresh batteries also crossed my mind, but I got through it fine on my current batteries.

My wife was sure tired of hearing the song by the time I finished it though. I enjoyed hearing the tunes come from the Wii-mote though. Makes me wonder if the entire tune is uploaded first and each note told to play or if the note is immediately sent and played...

OMG the title to this topic is too true.....I've been to 2 Walmarts, Target, and a Bestbuy since the game's release date. I called earlier this morning to find out that a Gamestop about 10 miles from me has a few. I would have gotten it today but I was lazy and went to my local Bestbuy and bought Guitar Hero 3. When I get off work tomorrow I'll pick up Zack & Wiki though.

oiram · « **Reply #165 on:** October 28, 2007, 05:01:51 PM »

Very good game, I'm hooked.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #166 on:** October 28, 2007, 07:30:06 PM »

Dragon Scales is breaking me. BREAKING ME.

Do I seriously have to WiiSports tennis that rock waaaay across the map to make the ball roll? what da crap

Finally got the game today, beaten 4 levels so far...It's incredibly cute and charming!

You aren't going to sell many games with endorsements like that. In fact people may run away in terror!

ShyGuy · « **Reply #169 on:** October 30, 2007, 01:40:36 PM »

Beat the Spyro the Dragon level, on to the plane. So far I think this is the third best game on the Wii, right after Zelda and Metroid.

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #170 on:** October 30, 2007, 01:42:35 PM »

Zack and Wiki is currently the most rented game at Gamefly. People definitely know of the game's existence, now if they would just buy it...

But I'm only stating the truth! I especially like the guardians (I want a stuffed animal version!) and I love how they just kept the Japanese sound effects in the game...

IT'S EXTREME! REALISTIC BLOOD SPRAY!

ShyGuy · « **Reply #173 on:** October 30, 2007, 02:48:34 PM »

I hope I can beat this game before Bill does. That's my goal.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #174 on:** October 30, 2007, 02:53:38 PM »

You have a massive head-start and I want to savor it as much as possible (still 2 more weeks still Mario Galaxy), so it probably won't be too hard!
