Korea Goes Totally Overboard With Zack & Wiki Promo

When the Wii finally launches in Korea next week, one of the games available will be Zack & Wiki. How do you sell a game like Zack & Wiki to the Korean market? With mousepads. Oh, and the promise of riches. Everyone who preorders the game will get two bits of merch: a mousepad and a small treasure chest filled with treasure-shaped candy. Except not all the chests contain candy. One hundred of them will contain a pearl necklace. A real, pearl necklace. This would be the part where I'd say I wished we could have gotten pearl necklaces with our preorders, but...yeah...I won't.

Korea, you're on notice. I declared war on Europe earlier today, don't think you're special.

I didn't even see one TV ad here in UK.



At least the game is being properly promoted SOMEWHERE in the world. It sure has hell deserves it for being so good.

Unless you're a gamer and read the appropriate magazines/websites, you wouldn't know that Zack & Wiki even exists, much less being released in Finland.
