Pirates probably suffered from sticking too close to the original formula of a game that was released on 8-bit home computers.

Did you know there's a Wii version with more cartoony graphics and motion controls in the swordfighting and dancing parts?

I did not! That's awesome. Do you know of any games (excluding black flag) that hits the same vibe as pirates? I also enjoyed Freelancer

Rebel Galaxy is kind of similar, although it's set in space. There are also some games like Ys X or the upcoming pirate Majima Yakuza game with sea exploration, but it's obviously not going to be as involved as Pirates.
