Sorry if any of this information is redundant:
-Goal of the game is to clear the riddles from each area and collect barbarossa's parts
-You solve the riddles by using the Wiimote by interacting with items you've gained and things in front of you (in other words, it's all about "How can I use the Wiimote in this situation?")
-Some of the stages where Barbarossa's parts include: A jungle, Hidden Ruins, A Water Shrine, A (something.. can't read the text) with magma running through it
-Seems to encourage players to explore trying to play w/ "no hints". No sure if there's anything you gain from doing this though...
-There are hidden extras such as hidden puzzles and characters throughout each stage
-It's 30% of the way done
There's a bunch of other stuff but those are the main points I thought would be of interest to people on here.
Also, there definitely seems to be a similar tone to the way the creators were talking about this and about what the creators of Professor Layton said - lots of emphasis on everyone being able to enjoy it, even people who have trouble with games (in fact, this is what was being said about Opoona too). Seems like there's a huge push for games to be accessible.

demure said:Thanks for that. Sounds like it'll be sectioned off into selectable stages instead of an entire world you can freely roam around in which is quite a disappointment
Yeah.. from what they said it seemed that within each of these stages there were areas with riddles. But I'm not sure - the stages may all be connected through some overworld linking passages, didn't see anything to say otherwise.
US release confirmed, coming this fall:

Not necassarily. I mean, if you think about it, Metroid Prime was one huge overworld yet it was sectioned off. I see this game probably taking place on a huge island with different zones that contain different themed areas

I don't think too many people on GAF should be terribly excited for this, simply because it looks to be a very simple game catered more towards people who rarely or simply don't play games.
But it does look pretty great, hopefully it turns out well.

That doesn't neccessarily mean that it won't be challenging - Layton is a similar styled game which starts off slow and then ramps up, and is hyped by GAFfers in Japan. I could see something similar with Treasure Island Z - unless they reduce the difficulty too much.

I meant the myamoto comment.....
Looks hot! Nice to see Capcom try something without guns and blood like old days. Plus I suspect as long you dont run to gamefaqs everytime you get stuck there should be some good challenges. This is capcom after all, where just controling their RE games last ten years is test of wills in itself.
According to an official Capcom guy, this is Inafune's unannounced Wii project

I'm liking the art style here. Capcom has been pretty good with their new IPs as of late, and this looks like it has some potential to be fun. I'll keep an eye on it.

The Senior Director of planning and research answering questions and we get this idiot asking them?
"Is game X in 480p? and 16:9? What about DLP II?
Oh, and about game Y, is that 480p and 16:9? DLP II?? What about 480p?"
God forbid he ask anything about actualy gameplay.

Even if it is the Inafune game, looks like there's going to be more Wii announcements at Gamer's Day.CK said:

I would play this game if it turned out good, but methinks this will be the extent of Capcom's Wii support for the foreseeable future and that's not good.

wow - I'm loving the art style of this game for some reason. harkens back the to days of kick ass platformers + adventurers. reminds me of Brave Fencer Musashi a bit (but hopefully more playable).

Oh, I meant these are the kind of original games they'll probably support the Wii with, other than Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles. I figure they feel obligated to give Wii owners a RE game, since the series was exclusive to GameCube for a while. Other than that, their games will probably be more along the lines of cuter stuff like this. But from Capcom, that's not really a bad thing (I hope).jj984jj said:

It's so bizarre to me, as an old school PC adventure game fan, that graphic adventures are having something of a rebirth recently on consoles, and from Japanese developers no less. Let's hope we get some good ones. It's so hard to end up with truly well written scripts through localization--when I say good I don't mean just enjoyable, I mean genuinely well written with genuinely well crafted characters, along the lines of Tim Schafer's Full Throttle or Grim Fandango.
Hopefully the recent visibility of the genre leads to some of the old masters returning, people like Ron Gilbert (Monkey Island) and Jane Jensen (Gabriel Knight) who have tried to get projects greenlit recently but who have faced difficulty due to the waning of the adventure market. Jensen does have something in the works, and hopefully that does pan out. Gilbert has something he's been pitching but hasn't had any bites as far as I'm aware.

Yeah, definitely didn't mean to downplay Telltale's work. However other than Sam & Max, the PC adventure genre seems to be pretty much where it's been for several years now--a bunch of fairly uninteresting titles released on a regular basis but few standouts. Relatively speaking, there is, bizarrely, more growth in the genre on consoles, or at least on DS in particular and it looks like perhaps Wii as well.fresquito said:

That recent news was based on an interview I conducted, and honestly it's not nearly as concrete as people made it out to be. It's definitely something Telltale would like to do if possible though.fresquito said:
