I think a Zack and Wiki sequel would fly off the shelves. It has become a "cult classic" in a sense and people have really come to understand what it is and why it's so cool.

I think a Zack and Wiki sequel would fly off the shelves.  It has become a "cult classic" in a sense and people have really come to understand what it is and why it's so cool.

If they do release a sequel I hope they would make more things easily "skippable", or have an option to skip all the "help" videos and skip over some of the mandatory animations.  Because once you've played it more than once (and you WILL!), you really don't need to see all those things every time.

If you don't have the game yet, GO GET IT!  Best Wii experience EVER! :-)

It's one of the only non-girly games my 5 year old daughter would play (she scares easily) with me, and SHE actually got to think and figure out some of the harder puzzles with me, which made her feel great and I got to shower her with praises for figuring things out.  You can't put a price on that kind of family interaction/learning.  It really IS that good.

I played about half of it then quit because I didn't like the slow pace (and how you have to repeat all the steps of the puzzle if you die part way)

according to this article from gamasutra, this game is over-tracked, even if they are only referring to US sales: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/26733/Capcom_Reveals_Weak_Zack__Wiki_Sales_Talks_Tough_Wii_Market.php I hope I'm making a mistake here
