Monkey Island 5 coming to the Wii 03 May, 2007 / Comments: 17
Okay, not quite that earth-shattering. In reality (I hate living there, spoils all the fun), Capcom are bringing a game called Treasure Island Z to the console known as Wii. It's a humorous piratey point n' click adventure game. Sound familiar? Oh, and a monkey follows you around. And the main villain's a talking skull (just look at that picture with this playing in the background, you'll get the idea).
Of course it's also cel-shaded, which brings to mind Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker as well. Nevertheless, even without the Monkey Island/Zelda vibe it's still a point n' click adventure coming out on the Wii, which is a very good thing indeed. Let's hope Capcom make good on this promising beginning. Okay, vaguely possibly interesting beginning.
(Being Dwight, but serious) Question:
Is Double Fine's current "Action News" banner's background a screenshot of Schafer's new game? Just something to speculate. If anyone has any ideas, please don't be shy and do tell!:)
Update: Looking at the filename of the graphic, and doing a search led me [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Star-raiders-game-manual-cover.jpg]here[/url].
Oh, uh, by the way, May the Fourth be with everyone.
If they ever make another Monkey Island game I hope it's not as cartoony as this. I miss the gritty earlier games.
