Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of videogames,
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 Wii Remote and challenges gamers to
“play different.” Capcom plans to release Project Treasure Island
Z (Working Title) this fall.
“Innovation has been the cornerstone of Capcom’s successful
history,” said Charles Bellfield, vice president, marketing, Capcom
Entertainment. “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’s legendary treasures.
While several other Capcom titles may be grabbing the headlines
prior to their respective launches on Wii – namely Resident Evil:
Umbrella Chronicles - Project Treasure Island Z (Working
Title) certainly looks like a title to be keeping an eye-on, and
that’s exactly what we’ll be doing for you, right here at
