Better late than never: Zack & Wiki gets a Flash demo photo

We already told you to buy Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure for the Nintendo Wii. I know we're a bit bossy, but we hope you listened to us. It hurts our feelings a little when you don't listen to what we say.

If you somehow missed this (or don't trust our reviews), Nintendo has stepped up to convince the few that are still holding out. On the Nintendo Europe Zack & Wiki Web page, you'll find a Flash-based demo of the 2007 Capcom release under the Gameplay tab. Granted, you're missing the Wii's motion sensing control and the full animations, but your mouse will work well enough for now.

This is just a taste of the puzzley goodness that Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure offers. You have no excuse now. I'd say skip the demo and just buy it. 

What's that? You're a cheap bastard, you say? Well, Walmart.com has this game in stock for the recently reduced price of $29.82. Cheap! That's it, you're out of excuses now!

Bought it as soon as I saw it in Wal-mart, a breath of fresh air in a stagnant market. If you have a Wii and don't have Z&W, play the flash demo and go buy it.

If you have a Wii and have not bought this, you are a bad Wii owner ;)

Its a great game, very fun and deserving of your attention.

Aye, it really is a splendid game. It really scratched a point & click puzzler itch I didn't even know was there. Real bloody shame about the goddamn title though.

I'm gonna pick this game up over Easter.

Any chance this works with the Wii Opera browser?

If I had money to blow, I would buy a Wii just for this game. It’s that good.

Dude, you can get it at Best Buy for twenty bucks these days. I literally forced my friend to buy a copy at that price.

Such a good game. It was one of the first Wii games I really got into--although the characters can be annoying.

Damn, $30? If I had money, I'd totally snap that up.
