In their latest podcast, the IGN Nintendo crew does some extreme pimping of Capcom’s upcoming Zak & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros’ Treasure for Wii. While they don’t (can’t is probably more like it, though it’s obvious they possess an in-progress copy) divulge any new details about the game, they say that it deserves to be placed in the top tier of upcoming Wii titles, alongside Smash Bros, Mario, and Metroid.

In addition, for fear of an Eternal Darkness repeat (the ‘great game gets criminally overlooked’ scenario), they’ve officially started the Buy Zak & Wiki Campaign 2007. I don’t know about you, but I’ll be first in line for this one. Sweet cel-shaded graphics, cool designs, and brilliantly difficult puzzles, all in the spiritual descendant of old-school point-and-click adventures…sounds like a true classic in the making :)
