fresquito said:I like the looks of this game, however it's becoming a little bit annoying that Japanese devs seem to be unable to release games with a character with realistic proportions (except for the awesome, awesome Suda51).

Stolen idea for next Zelda. Miyamoto's gonna be mad.splattergnome said:

:lol :lolBorkBork said:Well that's a pretty unique way of interacting with the wiimote.
Viceroy Fizzlebottom said: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
-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

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
Capcom® Announces Project Treasure Island Z (Working Title), a Puzzling New Adventure Exclusively for the Nintendo Wii™
Pillaging Pirate Adventure Challenges Gamers to Play Different
SAN MATEO, Calif – March 16, 2007 Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced its first original title exclusively for the Nintendo Wii, Project Treasure Island Z (Working Title), an innovative, full-length puzzle adventure game that utilizes the unique control mechanics of the Wiimote and challenges gamers to “play different.” Capcom plans to release Project Treasure Island Z (Working Title) this fall.
“Innovation has been the cornerstone of Capcom’s successful history,” said Charles Bellfield, vice president, marketing, Capcom Entertainment. “By introducing a whole new level of interactivity, this title reinforces our commitment to pushing the limits on how people view and play games.”
Legend has it that a revered pirate named Barbaros once stole the world’s treasure and hid it on a mysterious island. Though no one knows of its exact location, stories about the untold riches that lay in wait have been passed down through the ages, driving pirates from all walks of life to pursue the alluring prizes. One of these treasure seekers, a young apprentice pirate named Zack happens upon a mysterious talking skull, the skull of Barbaros himself. Barbaros promises to reveal the key to the island, if Zack will help to lift the curse he is under.
Players will explore a variety of wondrous environments and stages, solving puzzles and interacting with the world in search of vast riches and the ultimate pursuit of becoming the greatest pirate the world has ever seen. Inventive gameplay mechanics and controller movements allow players to move and open objects, transform items, unlock new pathways and navigate through perilous stages based on a variety of themes including a jungle, ice temple, volcanic caves and more, each with their own sub-areas. Players will rotate handles, turn keys to open doors, play a piccolo and much more in order to solve the progressively difficult puzzle stages and collect Barbaros’s legendary treasures.
Viceroy Fizzlebottom said: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.
Alkaliine said: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.
BrodiemanTTR said:So the director of Resi Outbreak 1 and 2 is working on this? Miyamoto was right, fourth-string teams indeed. :lol
It's written in Japanese in the first scan... director worked on Power Stone 2 and the Biohazard Outbreak series. Producer worked on the Breath of Fire series and The Nightmare Before Christmas.Bluemercury said:link where he said that?

Even if it is the Inafune game, looks like there's going to be more Wii announcements at Gamer's Day.CK said:In response to my writeup on Treasure Island Z for Wii, Capcom contacted me to clarify a few points:
* Capcom announced Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles for Wii at E3, and it is still on track for 2007 release
* Devil Kings 2 was announced for Wii in Japan, but there has been no announcement of US release plans
* There are more unannounced games coming in 2007, and "at least one" should be announced in the next few weeks
Did you not see the quote from two posts above? Kohler has confirmed that they have more games in development, at least one more for 2007 to be announced "soon" which is probably at the Capcom Gamers Day.Pokeylongo 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.
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:Did you not see the quote from two posts above?

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:Sam & MAx is joining the re-raising too. It's nice to see this comeback.
Well, I meant they were bringing the series to the consoles (to my understanding it will appear on the Wii and Xbox360)Chris Remo said:Yeah, definitely didn't mean to downplay Telltale's work.

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:Well, I meant they were bringing the series to the consoles (to my understanding it will appear on the Wii and Xbox360)
