Zack and Wiki is awesome, more people should buy it.

I'm a proud owner of okami AND zack and wiki

It's just awful to see that the stupid masses keep on buying these totally and utterly crap shovelware titles while there are a couple of gems out there. The Wii is more and more turning into a very big pile of poop. The 2009 lineup is terrible and the amounts of shovelware keep on coming, nintendo has nothing more to do with serious gaming.

Those are some sad numbers for Z&W and Okami. =(

The only one on that list that I do not posses is Umbrella Chronicles, but I plan on buying it later. Kami, Z&W and RE4 are great, everybody should have a copy of those games at home.

No, all those numbers are pretty bad, considering the massive install base.

Also I'm sorry about Zack & Wiki, that game is so awesome.

I love Capcom, but I haven't played chronicles, zack and wiki or..wait for it..Okami...WTF is wrong with me? I don't feel good about it, just being honest, I did buy RE4 for the third time on the Wii though..

@Kyousuke:

The G4 review (Morgan Webb, I believe) foresaw PS2 players complaining about the Wii Celestial Brush and said that it's not as bad as will undoubtedly be said.

As someone who never played the PS2 version, I found the Celestial Brush to be extremely natural to use once I got used to the nuances of it (meaning once I realized that I didn't read the directions thoroughly enough). Frankly, having used nothing but the Wiimote I can't believe that an analog joystick would have been easier.

I definitely agree with you about Zack and Wiki numbers. I would love to see a sequel to it, but I doubt that it's going to happen. :(

Soccer moms aren't in to Zack and Wiki / Okami? NO WAI! Really what do you expect in a market where Wii Fit and Wii Play are top sellers?

Hopefully Capcom will focus even less on the Wii in the future. That's right. I want the piece of crap to die. Now the Wii itself will never die but I hope 3rd party support for it does.

Why would I wish such a cruel fate on the platform? Because the resources wasted on the Wii could be used to make the same games on the PS3 / 360 / PC with better visuals and nearly identical gameplay.

Sure graphics aren't everything but when a game on the Wii plays at 10 fps (No More Heroes) it's far less enjoyable than if it ran smoothly.

Now I hear you screaming:"BUT BUT TEH MOTION CONTROLS!"

What about them? Waving the Wiimote has replaced flicking the analog stick... Only it's less accurate. What an innovation!

Yeah I'm ranting but I'm really pissed about what Nintendo has done with the Wii. They've sold out and given up on quality to appeal to the mass market. The same mass market that has spoken and decided that I should be watching Reality TV.

I wish Nintendo well really but I wish they'd just piss off and split from the gaming market completely instead of trying to pretend they still care.

Aww, I got Z&W for $20 last year, it's pretty rad.

I mean we can all complain about non-gamers not getting Zack and Wiki, but if all the gamers who own Wiis (and there are a shit ton of us out there) actually stopped bitching about it and turned it on then wouldn't it have sold well too. I've got both Okami and Zak and Wiki. The problem isn't with casual gamers not supporting the system it's with hardcore gamers not supporting the hardocre games when they do come around.

I have Okami and Zak and Wiki. They are both great games, you should all buy them!

You know, I'd love to pick up copies of Zack & Wiki, Okami and a load of other games from bargain bins, but the problem here is that they're still on the shelves for about $65 each. While I might have a good job and a pretty decent income, I really can't afford to buy many games for such a price..

I played PS2 and Wii Okami and still found the stick friendlier.

@Cow

That's because whatever hardcore community remained pretty much dried up, you can't give people 1 or 2 games and say "be satisfied with this for a year" when the other 2 consoles have so much more.

Yeah well, eeeh were the adds?
I didn't see any?

Capcom screwed big time on their part.
Idiots, Meh they expect everything to sell automatically.

Thats not that bad for Zack & Wiki is it? Hasn't it doubled since last we heard? They didn't really advertise at all.

Numbers are alright. Curious to see about worldwide Z&W sales. I know RE4 moved a ton of units world wide (all things considered)

Not too shabby

It's almost criminal that Okami has sold so poorly on both the Wii & the PS2. It's a great game with an intersting story, and I'm more awed by it's art than I have been by pretty much anything in HD on the 360 & PS3. Not surprised about RE4, being a 4th time around retread, and Umbrella Chronicles either - rail shooters are really a love or hate it thing.

Never played Zak & Wiki myself, but I've heard nothing but good about it. It's a shame that the handful of good 3rd party software on the Wii gets burried under the avalanche of crap.
