Remember when this game used to be called "Treasure Island Z"? God what a better name.

 

[Pandy]

Im probably the only one but i hate this game and really cant understand all the people that (say they) like it

I partly agree.
It's a lovely game in many ways, but the puzzle/level design is awful. It's manageable to begin with, but I remember the later levels being such a chore to play that I simply gave up on it, which I rarely do with games like this.

I liked Jarosh's title from the anagram thread. But with todays PC culture, I understand why they didn't go with it.

HOT DIGGIDY DAMN!

I mean, I'm totally happy that I have the original disc here with me, but still, wow.
Haven't ever dreamed of this becoming an eShop title.

 

[Wildean]

None of Nintendo's new Xmas releases are really inspiring me, so might be a good time to check this out. Maybe Pandora's Tower too.

meanwhile in north america...

 

[boiled goose]

Great use of motion for puzzle solving. You really have to think outside the box

Beautiful graphics and lots if charm but most annoying side character ever.

 

[dreamcastmaster]

NoE really killing it with the games they are picking from the Wii for the eShop.

Whoever is choosing really knows thier stuff, or Nintendo.are working through and IGN top 100 list...

Yeah it is blurry:

Some people think it is outputting in 480i instead but given that gamecube games in your case likely to be 480i too (as PAL gamecube games have the 480p option replaces with 50Hz/60Hz selection) you would think the problem would be there too (unless the TV processes 480i and 480p differently).

My god, US version is much better...

 

[Nosgotham]

Everybody should buy this. It's easily the best third party game available for the Wii.

Easily? Nah but it's pretty great

 

[FreedomFighter]

This is such an awesome game and I hope EuroGAF picks it up.

Hope we get it over here in NA soon.

Is is possible to play the game with the Wii U pad or do I need a Wii remote?

 

[Griss]

The puzzles in this game were hard as balls. It's really, really enjoyable.

Would love to see a Zelda game with a few puzzles this clever and involved. They'd probably need to be optional, though, the typical Zelda fan would get upset and frustrated if main story access was hidden behind a puzzle like on of the harder ones from Zach and Wiki. I know I probably would.

 

[Morfeo]

These games were either rereleases (Okami, RE4) or won't take advantage of the Wii controller. Zack & Wiki was made exclusively for the console and it shows.

Solid graphics, charming characters, clever puzzles and setting to them, great sense of humor (sometimes I was looking for new ways to die), collectables and one of the most inventive and rewarding controlling schemes for the Wii remote ever. It had it all.

Somehow I was expecting Captain Toad to resemble this game.

I definitely agree with this, but I still dont think its on the level of the games I mentioned, and while RE4 and Okami were rereleased, the Wii-controls made them the ultimate versions imo, and thus worth mentioning. I think we can both agree that Zack and Wiki is amazing anyways though!

You need a wiimote. If you dont want to do pointer controls and motions this game is not for you. Its a point and click puzzle game.

I would rebuy the shit outta this game if it came to NA. Please come to NA.

 

[Mr-Joker]

One of the first Wii games I brought and I loved it, though I do wish that you can move Zack using the Nunchuck as pointing to move is annoying especially during the ice tiger boss.

The game is also pretty unforgiving when you mess up.

 

[Airola]

Great game!

Failing at the ice boss was a tearjerker. :´(

 

[ajim]

Awesome.

A wii game I always wanted but never got.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Cool beans. I wanted to try this one.

 

[maxcriden]

We stopped around the Ice Key puzzle. How far in were we? We started the game over last night (disc version), 7+ years later.

 

[danwu]

Gotta get this !

You guys got Xenoblade and now this?
