Telltale brings Strong Bad to attractive people

Wow, we never thought we'd be writing about Strong Bad twice in one week on a Wii blog. Yet, Telltale finally announced their oh-so-secret WiiWare game, which will feature everyone's favorite Homestar Runner mascot. Titled Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, this series will consist of five episodes that will come out on a monthly basis. (As it turns out, the "actual gameplay footage" at the end of the Strong Bad Gameways video is actual gameplay footage!)

Like Sam & Max, this game will be in the adventure genre, involving humor, puzzles, and point-and-click goodness. Telltale has also added some neat time-wasting extras, like checking Strong Bad's emails, making prank phone calls, and playing arcade games styled after the ones on Homestar Runner's site.

Between bringing this and Sam & Max to the Wii, we're so in love with Telltale right now. If you're excited, too, make sure to check out the official webpage for SBCG4AP, which just went live (and has a gameplay trailer!).

(Note: Sorry for the delay in putting this news up; we were waiting for Telltale to release assets for the game first, to make this post as thorough as possible.)

I'll admit to being a little disappointed by this. I'm just not a big fan of Homestar Runner. I just never really appreciated the humor. However, I know a lot of my co-workers would love this.

Oh well, at least we still get Sam and Max. Hopefully Season 2 isn't too far behind Season 1. Maybe some WiiWare for it?

Good lord, I thought Homestar Runner was DEAD. It's just not funny! No Nintendo, show some backbone, don't let them sully the Wii with this. I'd rather play Barbie Horse Adventures!!!

..So don't buy it. Easy solution.

@ Haohmaru : Apparently humor and hyperbole are lost on you?

But you're the one that doesn't like Homestar Runner...

Your copy of Barbie's Horse Adventures is in the mail.

Ah, good ol' HSR...this and Sam and Max coming to the wii..nice. HSR's hilarious and if it's a point and click, then it'll sell well.

Umm... You guys need to fix your first two links. I was wondering how Strong Bad was mentioned in a page about Disaster: Day of Crisis.

Otherwise, seems pretty cool. I haven't actually watched Homestar Runner in ages but I often remember it and miss it. For a long time, I've occasionally been reminded of it and want to go back and watch a bunch of new ones. For some reason, I don't. I should do that sometime...

Thanks for letting us know about the links. I still don't know how I managed to mess that up :P.

Anyway, thanks again!

OMG, kids. Shut up. Everyone has different tastes in humor, and Homestarrunner is a form of humor too.
They're not trying too hard to be the best, like most humors out there.
And you know what? Unlike most of your humors, the Chapman Brothers were ALWAYS Nintendo fans. So suck it. :P

It's not like you people HAVE TO PLAY their game.

Me? I'm excited. :D
Really excited.
My gf kept telling me "I told you so", since she "predicted" that a WiiWare would come out.
You bashers should shut up. You guys rarely bash on other games that are bottom-of-the-charts-suck, yet you bash on something that's not even a HARM to Nintendo.
