Our pals at Capcom have sent over some new screens of their upcoming Wii title, Zack and Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure. This is the game that was formerly known as Treasure Island Z, which I thought was a perfectly good title; the game contains treasures, an island, and the its lead character's name starts with a "Z." I was all so perfect and oh so much shorter than Zack and Wiki: Quest for Barba -- crap, that's long.
The game follows the adventures of fledgling pirate, Zack, along with his little flying mouse/cat/monkey friend you see in all of the screenshots, Wiki. It appears that Wiki can turn into some sort of magical bell with which Zack can use to ... call people to dinner. I don't know.
The game will be out sometime this fall, only for the Nintendo Wii (until it gets ported to the PlayStation 2 and PSP).

I don't mind "younger" oriented games, but god, there's like a limit on these things.
In all seriousness, I completely agree with you. That being said, the game mechanics look solid, even if they're surrounded with a saccharine coating.

But that doesn't mean other companies haven't trademarked the name for television, film, and video game versions.
