Zack & Wiki was a 2007 Wii exclusive game by Capcom.  It was an adventure game that emphasized outside of the box thinking, and never counting out any option.  It recieved fantastic review scores, (87 metacritic)  and developed sort of a cult following immediately after it was released.  It never sold well, and it seems to have fallen into obscurity since then.  I haven't seen many people highlight it when they bring up the wii, and I haven't seen it on any top wii games list either...  

 

Shoutout to wikipedia for the pic

Its one of my favorite games of all time becasue it was just so creative in its puzzle design.  It had a distinct art style, great puzzles, fun characters, annoying sound effects, and it seems that it has gone fallen from underappreciated to obscure.  What gives?  do you remember zack & wiki?  did you love/like it too?

Great puzzle/action game. Too bad not enough people bought it, I would have like to see it become a franchise.



I own it and played a bit of it. While I could tell it was well done, it has a very narrow audience by design.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Lack of Marketing sucks...

Wii has so many good games on that situation. Shame on people that like to pretend that this system was a shovelware mess with only Smash, Zelda and Mario Galaxy to give a damn

Of course! I remember playing it back in 2008 if I'm not mistaken. A pretty decent game, but not something I went back to a lot of times.

The motion controls weren't good enough in a few situations, such as the swordfighting, but it was otherwise a nice puzzle game.
