Telltale Games working on VC Sam & Max

This may be huge news, but we can't tell how far along the development is. Telltale Games, who were very publicly shopping around for Wii programmers, made a tentative mention of their console plans in an interview with Shacknews. CEO Dan Connors said that they're working on putting their episodic Sam & Max series on the Virtual Console (and also on the download service for one of those other consoles or whatever.)
This is the first evidence we've heard of any game coming to the VC that isn't an old console game. It doesn't quite count as original content on the VC, because the Sam & Max games are already out for the PC, but it's a step in that direction. Plus, hey, more games!

Origional content = the future for the VC.

Damn. I haven't played a Sam & Max game since they originally Hit the Road 14 years ago. But I'll download at least one of these episodes on the VC and see if it's as addictive as they say.

Mr Khan, was that a reference to the PSP commercial with the squirrels? If so, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks of it as them saying "Hellz yeah" instead of something silly like "Hells yeah." Because, ya know, "z"s make everything more XTREEM.
:P

Has anyone else any concerns over the Wii storage space for a game like this?

Apparently the episodes are about 50-70MB so some of them should fit into the internal memory.

If the episodes are all 70 MB, then the first 6 episodes will take up 420 MB of your 512 MB. Also, you can get a 2,048 MB SD card for around $30.
