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!
