Zombie Panic in Wonderland, known in Japan as Zombie in Wonderland (ゾンビ イン ワンダーランド, Zonbi in Wandārando), is a frenetic third-person shooter for Wii released in 2007 by Spanish videogame developer Akaoni Studio. Zombie Panic in Wonderland was first released in Japan by Marvelous Entertainment on December 20, 2007, and a demo version was released on November 8, 2007. Soon after, it was released by Akaoni Studio in 2010.[1] An updated version of the game, Zombie Panic in Wonderland Plus, was released on the iTunes App Store for the Apple iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad, and on the Google Play Store for Android devices in 2012, but was since taken down. Another version of the game, Zombie Panic in Wonderland DX, was released for Nintendo 3DS on October 30, 2014,[2] for iOS devices on April 5, 2015, for Nintendo Switch on January 25, 2019, and for Microsoft Windows via Steam on November 6, 2019.

Story

In order to become the centre of attention, a self-centered prince develops by error a magical perfume that turns everybody who smells it into a zombie. Characters from all over the popular eastern and western fable world, such as Snow White, Momotaro, Alice, Dorothy and Little Red Riding Hood will have to confront the 'amorous zombies' who are invading the Fairy Tale world in order to resolve the mystery of Prince Charming and his 'scented dwarfs' before it is too late.

Plot

The story begins in setting as Momotaro walks into town, remarking of how he has not been in town for a long time. He finds the town deserted, however, everything seems to be intact. Momotaro is attacked in a sweet shop by zombies, and defends himself and makes his way to his friends. After a brief battle at the festival grounds, he reaches an animal shrine in which he is attacked by his friends, all fused into one zombie. He defeats them, and before falling unconscious, the monkey says, 'Scented Dwarves...' He finds a cage nearby, and cuts it open, revealing dwarves. They have no idea of the occurrences, and only say the zombies were going to take them north. Momotaro begins to make his way north, and encounters Dorothy(The Wizard of Oz). She has been looking for the Tin Man, who had been acting strange since dwarves had run through Oz. She joins his party, as they fight through Oz, the situation being no better than Momotaro's village. They encounter the Tin Man, who has been affected by the plague, and fight him. As he is defeated, before he burns out, he only mutters something about scented dwarves. They find more dwarves locked up nearby, being sent to a castle in the north. They continue to battle more of the infected, and they reach the castle. They find Snow White, who is arguing with a knight, trying to get inside of the castle. She fights a knight, and they are swarmed by zombies, and the knights, including the inhabitants of the castle, are also affected. Once inside, they find Prince Charming, who has some demonic characteristics, who still retains all of his intellect. Snow White begins to argue with him, and he tells her to calm down, since she is making a scene. The statement provokes a fight, and he is defeated, revealing that he made the plague, since he wanted the inhabitants of Wonderland to fall in love with him. He went further with the plan, to become immortal, and apologizes for the trouble. He gives a potion, which is the cure, and it states they all live Happily Ever After.

The game was positively welcome in Japan, ranking first on the list for WiiWare sales.[citation needed] On December 20, 2007, Famitsu referred to the video game using the emblem "GJ!" (standing for good job) in a double page dedicated article.[citation needed]

Other specialized magazines such as Nintendo Dream vol.193 and Dengeki Games vol.6 have also shown their interest for the videogame.[citation needed]

All of these articles and their subsequent user comments make special emphasis on the surprisingly "Japanese" touch of every final aspect regarding this videogame.[citation needed]

The success of the game became so remarkable that the cinematographic production company of George A. Romero in Japan, introduced a tie-in of Zombie Panic in Wonderland this on May 28, 2010, along with their latest movie release Survival of the Dead. This combined advertising strategy consisted on the distribution of posters, wallpapers and clocks for cell phones parodying the crossbreed between both products.[19]

Overseas, the game received "mixed or average reviews" on all platforms, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[6][7][8] Eurogamer criticized its difficulty, calling it 'annoying'.[10] The following revisions did not gather the same attention as the original game, nor did its average score improve.

History

Logo used until March 2014

MobyGames was founded on March 1, 1999, by Jim Leonard and Brian Hirt, and joined by David Berk 18 months later, the three of which had been friends since high school.[6][7] Leonard had the idea of sharing information about computer games with a larger audience. The database began with information about games for IBM PC compatibles, relying on the founders' personal collections. Eventually, the site was opened up to allow general users to contribute information.[5] In a 2003 interview, Berk emphasized MobyGames' dedication to taking video games more seriously than broader society and to preserving games for their important cultural influence.[5]

In mid-2010, MobyGames was purchased by GameFly for an undisclosed amount.[8] This was announced to the community post factum , and the site's interface was given an unpopular redesign.[7] A few major contributors left, refusing to do volunteer work for a commercial website.{{Citation needed|date=June 2025} On December 18, 2013, MobyGames was acquired by Jeremiah Freyholtz, owner of Blue Flame Labs (a San Francisco-based game and web development company) and VGBoxArt (a site for fan-made video game box art).[9] Blue Flame Labs reverted MobyGames' interface to its pre-overhaul look and feel,[10] and for the next eight years, the site was run by Freyholtz and Independent Games Festival organizer Simon Carless.[7]

On November 24, 2021, Atari SA announced a potential deal with Blue Flame Labs to purchase MobyGames for $1.5 million.[11] The purchase was completed on 8 March 2022, with Freyholtz remaining as general manager.[12][13][14] Over the next year, the financial boost given by Atari led to a rework of the site being built from scratch with a new backend codebase, as well as updates improving the mobile and desktop user interface.[1] This was accomplished by investing in full-time development of the site instead of its previously part-time development.[15]

In 2024, MobyGames began offering a paid "Pro" membership option for the site to generate additional revenue.[16] Previously, the site had generated income exclusively through banner ads and (from March 2014 onward) a small number of patrons via the Patreon website.[17]

On February 13, 2025, Freyholtz stepped down as the site lead to move onto new projects, leaving operations to Tracy Poff, a veteran coder on the site, and Atari staff.[18]
