Whoah...for a minute there, I thought Capcom had taken the Dragonball Z characters and put them inside the classic Pirate story (kinda like how Sega shoehorned Sonic and friends into the Arabian nights story).

Now that would've been a game worth of curiosity!

As for this game, looks cute, but I wonder if those are FMV shots, still shots of actual gameplay. I'm sure the fans will throw a fit over it, though, because its cartoony looking.

Preach it! The Wii and DS were absolutely made for adventure games.. time to unlock that potential.

Another SEGA franchise which could be greatly improved by the remote - Shenmue.

I agree, we need more point and click adventures, one of my all time favorite games is Longest Journey for the PC!

Yeah, I can see the Wiimote enhancing greatly the toy capsule collection aspect of it...

"Maybe I should get...another".

NOTE: Yes, I am being sarcastic, but that doesn't mean that I hate the game. In fact, I really enjoyed it back when it was first released.

If only Ryo was more likeable...

Game looks pretty childish, yet badass at the same time.

In the bottom right corner, You see him opening that chest then holding up the skull necklace thing? Total Zelda ripoff.

Pirates = awesome. Good job, Capcom.

The text in the bottom right corner made me chuckle.

Dasmos · « **Reply #12 on:** March 14, 2007, 03:06:39 AM »

Neat, I'll keep an eye out for this one.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #13 on:** March 14, 2007, 03:26:55 AM »

While I wish we'd see games which aim toward a bit older demographic, it's something out of Capcom which isn't a sequel so I've no choice but to approve.

It's some sort of Capcom support so I'm happy. If those are real-time graphics (look cel-shaded to me) then I'm quite impressed. It looks cool but the lack of mature titles from third parties is really getting a little annoying. When it seems like every developer I actually care about thinks the Wii is for kids it's more difficult to get excited about third party games. Manhunt 2 was big news largely because it bucked the trend and is honestly something that a Nintendo console would not have normally received.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #16 on:** March 14, 2007, 04:55:19 AM »

Because it's totally looking like Manhunt 2 will be an INCREDIBLE experience that no adventure game could ever top, right? *rolls eyes*

The "mature" games argument really has to go, because there's absolutely nothing LESS mature than an adult who's too ****ing scared to play an interesting game because it has bright colors...

Chiller · « **Reply #17 on:** March 14, 2007, 05:30:19 AM »

Misnomer, or not, I hear more and more of the same old "it's for kids" garbage every day. Do you honestly think this isn't being reinforced by what is being released? Maybe people are ignorant, but they are still potential customers.

I agree with you 100% there, Bill, but at the same time, the "mature" argument doesn't necessarily imply that we're talking about blood, gore and tons of mindless killing.

I've noticed that there tends to be a sharper curve of difficulty when dealing with an M-rated game: the game tends to be harder because the developers felt that adults would have more ability to thrive in the game world than children would.

I also don't mind deeper storylines which would probably go over the heads of most children, and while I admit that such a thing is generally hard to find, the ones that exist are well worth it.

I think it was established in like 1998 that regardless of how dumb this attitude is it exists and we can't stop it and some of us would rather not see the Wii's third party support be limited entirely to using one style because third parties and the general buying public all think Nintendo is for kids. I would think that after ten years of this sh!t all Nintendo fans would be sick of having third parties tell them what games they're supposed to like.

It isn't about "k!ddy" or "mature". It's about variety and when you get nothing but super fluffy cloud land it gets stale real quick. And getting nothing but blood and guts grim land isn't so hot either.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #20 on:** March 14, 2007, 05:51:16 AM »

The PS2 enjoyed a healthy mix of the two. That's what I'd like for the Wii.

I agree. I'm not really into ultra-violent games, but I'd rather they be on the console of my choice than not be there. The more variety, the larger the install base which leads to more and better games. Everyone wins, but most importantly me because I get to play many of the games I want to play without having to buy new hardware.

Bill do you get excited over Seasame Street every morning? Because seriously that's what this game is, it's childish, it is aimed at children. It's called a demographic.

It's nothing against the game, it might be perfectly playable, it's nothing against you, there's nothing wrong with playing a colourful game but you have to realise, this game is for children. When Capcom greenlighted this, you can be sure that they wern't aiming to sell it to the same group of people who bought Okami or Resident Evil, they are aiming this game at childrena nd you can expectt he game's storyline, themes, humour and challenge to reflect that.

Caliban · « **Reply #23 on:** March 15, 2007, 02:26:10 AM »

I just saw the latest scan on gonintendo, this game has certainly garnered my attention, a main character with a skull hat and uses a Wii remote in the shape of a coffin to do whatever it does in the game? Awesome.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #24 on:** March 15, 2007, 02:33:17 AM »

That's some great thinking there, 18 Days, I'm glad you can see the future so you can tell me what a game will be about before it's released! But seriously, I'm trying to figure out how [cute art style = kiddy = really easy content] because that's a hell of an assumption...Picture yourself watching the Mario Sunshine trailer, it being the first Mario game you've ever seen...UH OH, LOOKS KIDDY, GONNA BE AN EASY GAME RIGHT?

And then there's Viewtiful Joe, which looked like a kiddy superhero game when it was first revealed...Just don't make assumptions...
