Telltale talks about Strong Bad, Sam & Max

by David Hinkle { May 23rd 2008 at 7:00PM }

The folks at Telltale Games have been talking up Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, as well as the upcoming Wii port of Sam & Max, to TheBBPS. Aside from what was said to Joystiq last week, the team at Telltale Games revealed that the Strong Bad game will be running on the same engine that powers Sam & Max. Also revealed about Strong Bad is the inclusion of a "bizarre 'edutainment' title" in one of the upcoming episodes.

In regards to Sam & Max, the decision to go with a retail product made more sense, but they aren't ruling out the possibility of hitting up WiiWare.

Oh gee, what sort of new innovations will this filler game bring to the wii? If you have any morals don't buy this, please! You could say to me, "don't buy it then" but c'mon, are you really going to take the plunge and take a step in the wrong direction for the good of humankind? Keep this game Flash, cancel the wii release now while there's still hope. Just my opinion, don't mean to offend anyone who thinks this show is that bright star in their days.

Why is this becoming a game???? I am welcoming anyone to help me eat my words on this. Prove that this is worthwhile and shouldn't be a flash game vs yet another wii game that 80 people will buy only to sell for $5 three months later.

You do realize that the Strong Bad game is a WiiWare title, right? There wouldn't be any reselling of it.

hmm
i misread the part that said:

I guess that's even worse. You won't be able to resell it.

You do know this is a wiiware game right?
You can't trade wiiware games back in. And besides it may be $15 to $20 for each episode. If you cant afford that you must have bills to pay, a wife and kids, insurance etc. If you don't want it don't download it. No money out your pocket.

well i'm eating my words, i didn't know you could trade wii ware back in. voila!

Ok, wait, wife and kids? What does that matter? No kids, no wife, no dude, no whatever. In any case, do i have to buy every single game that comes my way because i can afford it? Maybe my idea of comedy and entertainment are way different than most. There is also more than one reality so I'll be a gentleman and keep the critique to myself.

And as for Sam and Max, it was never (to my knowledge) a flash game.

Strongbad's game looked a little short on the interaction and long on the cut scenes, but I'm hoping the one scene they've released as a video so far was unusually heavy on exposition.
