In a bid to shed some light on games that many of us wouldn’t usually fart on. I’ve chosen to post on Zack & Wiki. This is Capcom’s first original title for Wii in which a young pirate must trek around an island doing what a pirate does: Fighting enemies, going deep into jungles, hunting treasure, swash buckling. All that pirate stuff. Check it out.

Many previews from hands-on plays with the game have been very positive, with many magazines and web sites citing it as a game that should not be overlooked. I’m still sat on the fence about this game and will wait until the reviews are out before I make a decision as to whether I’ll buy it or not. But based on gameplay footage, the game looks pretty snazzy and it’s great to see developers implementing the Wii remote in a way that doesn’t feel overly gimmicky.

Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros’ treasure will release in the US on October 16 2007, with a European release slated for some time in October also. There is no date for a Japanese release at the time of writing, but it’s more than likely Japan will see it before anybody else – in either late August or September.
