The Straw Hat Pirates to Land on the Wii™    

Santa Clara, Calif., (January 3, 2008) – Leading video games publisher and developer, NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc., announced today that One Piece™: Unlimited Adventure™ has gone gold for the Wii™. Based on the hit animated TV series, One Piece™, players will follow the adventures of the Straw Hat Pirates as their journey leads them to treasure and perilous encounters on an uncharted isle. Danger awaits swashbuckling players when One Piece: Unlimited Adventure is released on January 22.

While sailing the open sea, an island mysteriously rises from deep beneath the ocean waves, leaving the Straw Hat Pirates stranded on a strange land. Players will take control of their favorite One Piece characters to explore new areas, battle vicious enemies and solve challenging puzzles.    

With the innovative Wii Remote™ and Nunchuck™ controller, players will pull, turn and swing to battle nefarious villains using each character’s own unique set of moves including Luffy’s “Gum Gum Storm" and Nami The Navigator’s “Cyclone Tempo".

Since we first heard about this title before system launch that means they've used the past year and a half to polish this into a AAA title, right?

I am a big One Peice fan so I'll probably get the game, it looks better than other games they did. I also saw some vids of the japanese version to convince me.

[Kairon]

So... is this an actual Zelda-esque adventure game?

[Pale]

All I remember of this game is that it was one of the most impressive Wii games visually at E3 06... at least in my opinion.  I hope it still looks nice.

Oh, I'm definitely getting this game.
Kudos to the company that didn't care if the televised series in North-America is up to date with the game or not. It's actually good for their buisness because the majority of people that will buy this game are fans that follow One Piece at a weekly basis by reading the scanlations and watching the fansubs.
*checks release date* D'oh, No more Heroes is supposed to come out also on that week, decisions, decisions, decisions.
