Capcom® Announces Project Treasure Island Z (Working Title), A Puzzling New Adventure Exclusively For The Nintendo WiiTM

Pillaging Pirate Adventure Challenges Gamers to Play Different

LONDON - March 16, 2007 — Capcom® , a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced its first original title exclusively for the Nintendo Wii™, Project Treasure Island Z (Working Title), an innovative, full-length puzzle adventure game that utilizes the unique control mechanics of the Wiimote and challenges gamers to “play different." Capcom plans to release Project Treasure Island Z (Working Title) this autumn.

“Innovation has been the cornerstone of Capcom’s successful history ," said Michael Pattison, Senior Marketing Director, CE Europe. “By introducing a whole new level of interactivity, this title reinforces our commitment to pushing the limits on how people view and play games.

Legend has it that a revered pirate named Barbaros once stole the world’s treasure and hid it on a mysterious island. Though no one knows of its exact location, stories about the untold riches that lay in wait have been passed down through the ages, driving pirates from all walks of life to pursue the alluring prizes. One of these treasure seekers, a young apprentice pirate named Zack happens upon a mysterious talking skull, the skull of Barbaros himself. Barbaros promises to reveal the key to the island, if Zack will help to lift the curse he is under.

Players will explore a variety of wondrous environments and stages, solving puzzles and interacting with the world in search of vast riches and the ultimate pursuit of becoming the greatest pirate the world has ever seen. Inventive gameplay mechanics and controller movements allow players to move and open objects, transform items, unlock new pathways and navigate through perilous stages based on a variety of themes including a jungle, ice temple, volcanic caves and more, each with their own sub-areas. Players will rotate handles, turn keys to open doors, play a piccolo and much more in order to solve the progressively difficult puzzle stages and collect Barbaros’ legendary treasures.

in search of vast riches and the ultimate pursuit of becoming the greatest pirate the world has ever seen.

But it's all for naught if you fight like a cow.

I'm a bit surprised at this title. For a while, it seemed like Capcom basically dropped support of non-handheld Nintendo platforms.
