One Piece Unlimited Adventure

Luffy and friends are back for an action-packed jaunt where the pirates are caught in a tidal event which dumps them on a lush island. Luffy lands first and creates a small impact crater upon reaching earth again. His first task is to find his comrades to make his party whole again. One Piece Unlimited Adventure features 3D exploration and puzzle solving where barriers on the island must be broken or unlocked before reaching new pathways and areas. Early in the game, Luffy fishes up a blue orb from the depths of the ocean which factors mightily in breaking the barriers.

Luffy may also obtain other tools on the island including a pick axe to dig deep for buried artifacts and shatter rocks which are marked with an "X" scattered around the terrain. To swing the pick axe like a wizened digger, players move the Wiimote in an uninterrupted forward arc - sort of like when you're chopping an apple to slice it into two pieces. General movement is handled through the analog thumbstick on the Nunchuk while the "A" button on the Wiimote attacks enemies.
