I really want to support this game. But I've got too many purchases coming up...
You are a whore for that game.
Hai! Have fun guy!
Ooooh! It's out already!?
I can't wait to hear all about it. One part of me is very excited about it, and the other part says I'm going to put it down halfway through the second level because of waggle minigames.
Dammit, should have known that the Big Daddy was in on it too.
The box for Zack and Wiki looks edible
The power of voodoo. Hoodoo? You do.
Ahh, homophone association.
So how is it?
@Brandon
Waggle minigames bad. This game doesn't have that.
It sure looks like it. Pointing and clicking on a tree and then it going "Saw the tree!" and then you sawing, or turning a crank, etc, sound like intrusive, albeit integrated, waggle minigames to me.
I need to get this game. Have fun, man.
You should post a review when you're finished.
What's a Zatch and Weke? First time I've heard anyone talk about it.
@Brandon Undead
I understand what you're saying because on the surface that's how it comes out. However, the game is all about puzzle solving and plays like an old school adventure game.
@DanielMachine
Thanks man and I'll be sure to conjure the spirits to do one for me.
SAW!
CRANK!
I find this troublesome.
Shouldn't this count as like 2 or 3 mentions?
who's keeping track?
Shipping from amazon, can't come fast enough.
RL text bubbles for the win
ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HUZZAH!!!!!!!!!
Actions/solving puzzles using a controller = Puzzles
Actions/solving puzzles using the WiiMote = Mini-Games?
that is an excellent font Rockvillian. What's it called?
@Rockvillian
Amazing photoshop! Much love.

mmm cant wait to go buy it after work
Congrats on the purchase, sir.
Where'd you get it? Local electronic shop, or did you Amazon it?
@Azure
Gamestop. I stopped trusting Amazon on games I really want because they get flaky with release/ship dates.
I'll have to check Gamestop, then. I was hoping Best Buy might have it, but seeing as how they're not even advertising it I guess they may not be carrying it.
Thanks for the response.
lol
Now I'm hungry for some Caramel Almond Monkey Crunch.
What a coincidence! I got aids! :(
I could go for some caramel almond monkey crunch right about now.
NO WAI! That would explain some things...
hey that'll be a good diet for you tazar
Damn you Snaileb! Don't bogart the caramel almond monkey crunch!
Hey no fighting! There's still plenty cherry hat explosion to go around
@Rockvillain
Best shop ever
The girlfriend is picking this up for me today!! Or tomorrow!! I'll be playing it though.
I blame cough syrup on the decline of cherry flavored things tasting horrible.
I actually blame cough syrup for alot of things.
Everyone should be thankful there's no flavor attached to Zack's (count = 10.5) crotch.
@Max
Crap, my subconscious mind is manifesting itself in real life. We're all screwed.
BEST GAME EVER! :)
I am so buying this
goddammit you guys now I really want something cherry flavored. like a snocone.
also, GREAT NEW BANNER D! I WONDER WHO DID THAT AMAZING WORK!!!!
Speaking of the (great) new banner, is Zack putting the finishing touches on a dick-in-a-box?
Arrested Development plus Ductales!
*pants asplode*
haha jokers
I just picked this game up today. I just want to warn you guys that if you're planning on getting it at EB/GS, they only are carrying about 3 copies total per store if they are even getting it.
With that said, My impressions:
I didn't think I'd have a problem with how cute this game is but if you like your graphics non-cartoony, this game isn't for you. To the people that say the waggle is a gimmic, I assure you it's definitely not. There is one difference b/t Zack and Wiki "waggle" and the usual "waggle.." And that fundamental difference is that the game DOES NOT SHOW you how to apply your tools. Most waggle games will spell out exactly how to waggle but b/c the execution is so intuitive, the game leaves it up to you the gamer to use the tool. Difficulty definitely ramps up nicely but I've played through about an hour of the game so I can't say how it goes in the end directly.
So, if you absolutely are allergic to cartoony graphics, then I wouldn't really suggest this game for you, but even if you don't like the style, you can appreciate how good the game looks. It's very vibrant. I have a feeling that part of the reason why they went for such a cartoony and colorful style is b/c they want to put the focus of the game on puzzle solving, not pixel hunting for tools.
Anyways, back to zack and wiki, if you're wii is collecting dust, buy or at the very least rent this game, it's definitely engaging and fun..
Zack & Wiki + DuckTales + Arrested Development is so much win on one little banner.
What about macaroni-let me finish.....salad
