Zack & Wiki gets delayed

Marooned until January.

Capcom has confirmed our suspicions that promising adventure title Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure won't make it into shops this year.

Instead it will be out on 18th January, amid a much airier and more sparse New Year's release schedule.

Zack & Wiki is a cute and colourful adventure title with a few tricks up its piratical sleeves. The most eye-catching is that your Wiimote becomes the prop you need to solve your problems, so if you need to saw down a tree you will need to replicate a sawing motion. See, a saw.

With clever and intuitive puzzles and built-in hints to help alleviate frustration, all signs point to a well thought-out and exciting prospect - probably why it was on our games to buy this Christmas list.

Oh well. One to help shift the New Year blues instead, then.
