The Monkey King for Wii

Both this and Dragonball are based on the same story.

Thus, odd that they didn't just slap Goku's face on it.

Oh, like they do with everything based on Journey to the West.

"Hey, this story's about space. Why didn't they just put Darth Vader in it?"

Darth Vader kicked ass in Apollo 13.

Don't make me Kamehameha your ass.

4,5,4,4 from Famsitu, even by their standards that sounds like a trainwreck. *-neo

Can we stop pretending that what Famitsu says means anything? Please? I'm willing to give this a shot anyway.

I noticed the Monkey King went through some cover art changes. Is the core game being altered from the Japanese version?



The Monkey King game has went through a lot. First off, the game was supposed to release last year. We pushed the game further into Q2, 2008 so we can expand the marketing strategies. The American audience was just not aware of the Monkey King character so we felt that releasing the game after a new movie which I cannot say, would help people recognize the character. The actual game play is perfectly intact and has not been changed. Just to let you know something on the side that has not been released yet, the US version of the game will feature stuff not seen in the Japanese version. There is an added Reverse Mode and a new stage. You are the first to know.



When will we see the Monkey King in stores? How much will it cost?



The Monkey King still does not have a concrete release date, but we are certain on a Q2 2008 release. We still do not have a retail price point, but are leaning towards $19.99.

It's supposed to ship on the 27th, according to Gamestop. While I expect this means it'll show up in stores when drunk delivery-snail gets it there, Gamestop is usually pretty good about getting the ship date right when there's only a day or so to go.
