I was sure this would be a new game and not a port. I should have known better.

 

[zero shift]

Great to hear. Fantastic game. Highly under-rated.

 

[True Fire]

Can't wait to play this game on PS4

Spoiler

Plus

 

[Jake!]

oh man, I would play the junk out of this on Vita

 

[Slaythe]

Oooh so cool ! Day one.

Ps4 or steam.

 

[kevin1025]

Trampoline blob is the best blob! Although anvil blob is a strong contender. I'm willing to play this again, I never got very far on the Wii.

 

[Mit-]

Awesome. Never got around to my Wii copy. Glad to be able to play this game in a non-shitty resolution, and be able to take in all the detail the artists intended.

 

[djlr181]

Would be nice if Wii U at least got the Wii version as a virtual console release.

 

[A Link to the Past]

Why would Capcom want to make the game worse?

I forgot that games are only good if they have unreliable gimmicks :v No, Zack & Wiki is absolutely, 100% not made better by use of the Wii Remote. Anyone who has used a sword in that game can tell you how detrimental it is to the experience.

 

[Chauncy Talon]

As if January weren't busy enough? I never did get this for the Wii. I don't have any experience with the original, but I'm interested in part due to WayForward. Will check out on PS4.

The link to the Xbox website is down. :-(

Works for me, just clicked it for the first time.

It wouldn't work for me, at the time. It's up, now. Thank you.

 

[Aurablade]

I just picked up a copy of this for the Wii. Maybe I should wait to play it.

 

[HUELEN10]

So is it gonna be rendered in HD with the original assets without compression, or will it be the Wii game upscaled with assets we'll never see the full detail of?

 

[brokenbeans]

Sounds cool will check it out.

 

[User 479360]

Nice! Always wanted to play it, but not with the shitty Wiimote.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

I've finished the game. The Wii remote absolutely added to the experience.

 

[FF Seraphim]

Oh snap a hug button?! Yeah I need to get this game just for that.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Nice! Always wanted to play it, but not with the shitty Wiimote.

It supported the Classic Controller~

This is the first time I've ever heard anyone call Zack & Wiki a "gimmicky" use of the Wii Remote. I can't imagine playing it without it, tbh. It made great use of the controller.

 

[User 479360]

Oh, my bad.

I honestly never had much of a desire to use the Wii after its launch year, and hardly ever saw this game in stores so I kind of forgot about it.

 

[GKSilKamina]

I'm glad this is getting a re-release. Easily one of the best Wii games. It just...makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside.

 

[NolbertoS]

Never understood the love for this game. Tried to play it in the NES version, but got bored too quick. Tried on Wii too, but gave up. Maybe 3rd times the charm, but I'll wait for reviews and any additional content.

 

[BigJonsson]

The NES version was one of the first games I ever owned.........and was way too complicated for kid me to get anywhere with lol

 

[A Link to the Past]

Besides the pointer, what was good about its control?

 

[Frodo]

OMGOMGOMG! I've always wanted to play it, but back when I had a Wii I didn't have the opportunity! Definitely getting the PS4 version!

So happy about this!

 

[Shadow Ranger]

Sweet. Last I checked the Wii version was a little over my price range so to this is neat.

 

[LordCiego]

Day one on PC, played it a little on Wii.

Dat hug sound is one of the best sounds in gaming ever, just worth the game for the hug button.

 

[Timeless]

Is the game any good? The reception of the Wii game seemed coated in nostalgia for the NES original.

 

[Possumowner]

I love this game,so sweet "hugs". Glad to see it releasing on more platforms

 

[FunkyDealer]

Never bought it on the Wii, so I'm interested. But I would have preferred a Wii U release.

 

[The Libertine]

This is unexpected and brilliant. I have always meant to play this, but it is always so expensive to pick up on the Wii over here.

 

[PetrCobra]

This is the first time I've ever heard anyone call Zack & Wiki a "gimmicky" use of the Wii Remote. I can't imagine playing it without it, tbh. It made great use of the controller.

I remember the dancing sections being quite infuriating.

 

[The Scrivener]

Game is great. I have it on the Wii. Would get again for Xbox.

 

[Unai]

Loved the wii version. Definity going to pick up the PC version day one

Spoiler

of the summer sale

.

 

[Efejota]

This is the first time I've ever heard anyone call Zack & Wiki a "gimmicky" use of the Wii Remote. I can't imagine playing it without it, tbh. It made great use of the controller.

It had a couple of infuriating moments (Namely the sword fighting and the optional music challenges. They work, but it takes a bit to figure out how) but besides that I really liked the controls.
I even liked how the game simply showed you how you should be holding the wiimote with each item so you'd have to think about how to move it.

Anyways, I was interested in this back in the day but never got to try it, so an HD port is nice. Hope it's as good as it seemed.

 

[ryushe]

But why?

 

[FirLocke]

Nice! I've been trying to hunt down a copy for the Wii for ages, now I won't have to. Great to see it go digital.

 

[madmackem]

But why?

Why not?. Brings the game to a wider audience, I know I'll be picking it up day one.

 

[JetSetRadio]

So it's not announced or anything? Weird, I do want to play it.

 

[redmetal86]

But why?

They want it.

 

[Azure Phoenix]

But why?

Because it was a delightful puzzle game that virtually nobody played as it released on the Wii right around when everyone was too busy complaining that there were no "proper" games being released.

 

[Squozen]

I wanted this from the moment I reached 16:45 in this video.

Spoiler

actually much earlier

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

But why?

Majesco has like 5 employees. This seems like a low risk type of move to at least get some cash flow

 

[Massa]

PC, PS4, Vita and Xbox One confirmed, and they are working on more platforms as well. Port by the excellent Abstraction Games.

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

But why?

Can you provide a good reason why not to?

 

[Parsnip]

Nice, I was wondering when it was coming after we saw it in the steamdb leak.

 

[Haunted]

It's such a cute game. I think I stopped playing after the third boss or so, I can't even remember why.

 

[Sadist]

It's great, one of many hidden gems on Wii.

 

[Javier]

Would be nice if Wii U at least got the Wii version as a virtual console release.

This is what I'm expecting, actually. Makes sense if there's no Wii U port.

 

[Lijik]

Cant wait to press that hug button in HD

But why?

EVERY platform needs the majesty of the hug button

 

[Übermatik]

I can think of so many games that would benefit form a hug button... Dead or Alive, Bloodborne, Manhunt...
