So Capcom says nonsenses one day and other good arguments.

http://www.nintendoeverything.com/?p=12785

“Well, you know, Zack and Wiki…Another one in a long line of very highly rated Capcom games that unfortunately did not sell very well. We can take a part of the blame on ourselves by having it star a shirtless boy pirate. That is actually a personal favorite of a lot of people in Capcom, so don’t be surprised if you see it again but we have nothing in the works at the moment.” - Capcom Product Manager Colin Ferris

Well actually I think that we're part of the problem. Most of the reasons of why people didn't get  this game were "Looks too childish", "Too colorful", "Voices are too kiddy", "Not hardcore enough", yadda yadda. Anyway that arguments gives hope for another Zak and Wiki game on the future.

 

They blame it not selling because the main character is a pirate?  How about because they didn't give it any marketing, that never crossed their minds  :O

 

QFT.

This is just Capcom doing damage control. The forums are still filled with people angry about their lack of Wii development. These guys know that they will not develop another Zack and the Wiki nor will they bring over Tatsunoku vs. Capcom.

The fact is that the Wii is not central to their development plans and has never been. Their focus is squarely on the HD twins this gen.



If Nintendo is successful at the moment, it’s because they are good, and I cannot blame them for that. What we should do is try to be just as good.----Laurent Benadiba

Listen capcom...dont waste time with these games, let nintendo do family friendly stuff on the wii.

Spend your time doing another Wii Resident Evil thats not a on rails shooter. After that make Devil May Cry 5 and Onimusha for ps360. After that update marvel vs capcom license and make another one... Maybe even a new Viewtiful Joe for all consoles?

With all the classic games and franchises Capcom has to offer, why would anyone want them to bother with Zak and Wiki 2...unless its called Zak and Wiki make a porno

It really does deserve better sales, especially since it's only $10 everywhere.

I could give my entire wallet to stores where I live and they still wouldn't give me the game.  They don't carry it anymore.

Their HD games are crap anyway, I want a Z&W sequel, because this 32 old woman doesn't give a ratass if a game looks kiddy, I love it!

The shirtless boy pirate was a problem.

It should have been a shirtless girl pirate. Booyah!

Capcom just tries to put to blame on the game, but it isn't the game that should be blamed, but their lousy marketing strategy. Never have I seen any advertisment about this game, not even on the Internet, besides Gamefaqs / IGN.

The reason it didn't sell is because the name is absolute shit and had zero marketing.
The game itself was fantastic. Just a simple name change and marketing and it would have done fine.
