Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure

(First of all, dead Capcom forum + Exclusive to Wii = posting this here)

I played this game with three of my friends late one night during the last week of winter break. It was the funniest video game any of us had ever played. We've all since bought the title and returned to our respective schools, but I personally haven't had much time to play it. The humor is very irreverent (but Lord I love it), and it does take a second seat to the very fun puzzles, point-and-click gameplay, and well-done Wiimote actions that make up the bulk of the title. I can't wait until I have enough time to get into the meat of the game.

I heard it was one to watch out for, but I don't think it's out here, yet.

Isn't Barbaro the horse that broke his ankle and became America's pet for like a year? Coincidence or name drop here?

I just think it was chosen because sounds like the name a Spanish pirate might have. Also, in the game it's Barbaros, not Barbaro.
