Nunchuk.

At E3, critical impressions of Escape from Bug Island (then Necro-Nesia) were mostly negative. According to IGN, the gameplay is "void of anything that may resemble fun". Other criticisms include poor graphics, awkward controls (especially during fights), and choppy animation. Japanese gaming magazine, Famitsu, however, recently awarded the game an above-average score of 28/40.

The game was shown once again at the Japanese Wii conference on September 13, 2006 in Japan, where it was announced that the game would launch with the console, on December 2, 2006. The brief trailer for the game featured a forest level, possibly the same one from the E3 Demo, and a fight with a giant Tarantula. The animation system seemed to have been improved, the graphics were made smoother and more detailed, and the controls more responsive. Unfavorable reviews of Necro-Nesia prompted Eidos to refine several aspects of the game during localization, including control tweaks and end-of-level wrap-ups.
