Treasure stays buried a little while longer - Zack and Wiki delayed until January

It’s already getting great reviews overseas, but that hasn’t stopped Capcom’s Wiimote adventure game, Zack and Wiki being put back until January over here. Wh…wh…wha-!?

Actually, for those wanting it to succeed, it’s probably the best thing to do. The game’s got a good chance of doing well, but as a brand new untested franchise, Christmas and its Need For Speeds and Splinter Cells may suffocate it a bit. At least in the more relaxed month of January it can stand out a little better. Although, speaking console-specifically, what do we really have to look forward to in the way of top titles released this December? Bully, Tomb Raider Anniversary, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles? That’s two ports and a light gun game. Not exactly a triple A line-up, is it? Is there anything else you’re looking to pick up come the month of Xmas, readers?

    I *was* looking forward to Geometry Wars, but it got put back. Bizarrely, I am quite liking the idea of Wii Fit, but that is next year, too. After the turkey gluttony, I suppose.

    There must be something else I am looking forward to, surely? Can’t think of it right now, mind…

    *ahem* Super Mario Galaxy is coming out soon. I’m sure that’s a must-buy for everyone.
    But it’s not released Xmas time, strictly speaking…

    GHIII is also coming out in Europe on the 22nd.

    And theres MoH:H2 to look forward to! 30th November!

    It just…you know…feels like there’s something missing.

    It won’t make you feel any better, but I should point out that here in Japan we’ll have NiGHTS, No More Heroes and Wii Fit during the first two weeks of December. (Yeah, sorry.)
