Forums - Nintendo - Are you going to get the new Monkey Island Wiiware next week?

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know its in installments but man this looks incredible!  It should be one of the best Wiiware games alongwith World of Goo, Mega Man 9, Lost Winds (BTW,where is Lost Winds 2?) It is $10 in 5 parts and I will be picking up Little King's Story and Majora's Mask VC up along with this!  The only thing I can say bad about it is I wish they had done a cell shaded art style similar to Monkey Island 3 but I guess that might have cost too much...  If you ever liked a point and click adventure (or love Zack & Wiki), I can already tell you that you don't need to wait for reviews on this one, it will be great!  If you are unfamiliar with the series, here is a screen/trailers...

 

Teaser Trailer...  WARNING!  If you watch the videos I've posted don't complain that I ruined part of the game for you...

I love adventure games on Wii. I will definately be picking this up. Once I finish Broken Sword...



 

How is Broken Sword... I might give it a rent or buy if it is cheap... Too many good Wii games to buy everything new... Also, have you played the Sam & Max port? is it good?

Loved Sam & Max but the humour is too forced in the early episodes. Also the porting could have been better, some background textures are very blockish. Still it's $20 for 6 episodes. Can't go wrong, pick it up.

Broken Sword is good too - I'm not sure it deserves the acclaim it has but I'm certainly enjoying it however it's full price still. If you've never played Broken Sword (it's been out 13 years on PC), and really prefer to play on Wii than PC (I do 'cause I play over dinner or while doing household chores) get it. Otherwise play it on PC for like $5, DS for $30 or wait for the price to drop. There's new content on the Wii version but not enough to justify the full price tag.



 

Oh hell yes. I hope they put them up for 800 points per episode. Otherwise I'm going to feel like I'm getting hosed compared to the price PC gamers pay.

I'm pumped for this one. Monkey ISland are great games.



I'm getting it for PC...no way I'll skip the much-awaited follow up of one of my favourite series in gaming




Is it only Wii and PC? I thought I had read that the Monkey Island games were coming to the 360 too.

If it's only Wii/PC then I'll get it for the Wii, otherwise I'll get it for the 360 because I want the awesome game and achievements.



The 360 version is a remake. These are new episodes.

I'm getting it ;)

Ah, in that case I'll definately get the 360 version and get the Wii version after all or most of the episodes come out (I really don't like waiting for episodes).
