Monkey Island 5 coming to the Wii 03 May, 2007, 21:17 / 17 comments


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.

    Kinda off topic.

    (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!:)

    Well, he has a history of using anything and anything for the news banner, so it's probably just from something else. That said, I don't recognise where it is from.

    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.

    Thanks guys! Here I was hoping to find some news about his secret game, oh well at least I found what game that is.

    I used to have Star Raiders for my Atari 800. My favorite rank: Garbage Scow Commander (I think you either had to immediately quit the game or let yourself die as quickly as possible).

    It looks lame. Bandwagon!

    If they ever make another Monkey Island game I hope it's not as cartoony as this. I miss the gritty earlier games.

    Slow down, everyone, you're moving too fast...

    What a misleading headline, if I hadn't read so many "Monkey Island 5 Actually Happening" headlines before, I would probably have been more excited!

    Don't take Mojo seriously until you're at least one sentence into any given news story.
  • jp-30 on 03 May, 2007, 23:47…
    Thankfully you wan't see any other misleading headlines on Mojo at the moment...
  • Scummbuddy on 04 May, 2007, 03:03…
    This and the past two headlines have been mildly misleading, which is somewhat fun. I'd be mad if there wasn't so much adventure game goodness going on in the news.
  • Scummbuddy on 04 May, 2007, 04:47…
    It's like Internet April Fools day at Mixnmojo.
  • The Tingler on 04 May, 2007, 18:41…
    Yeah, the headline's the whole point!
