Whoa! I could not be more happy about this! I'm a huge StrongBad fan, and this could not have come at a better time, as recently I've been head-over-heals for Telltale's episodic Sam & Max series of games.

edit:

And more details.. also from IGN:

Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People will be released in five hopefully-monthly episodic installments on the Wii. The adventures will feature point-and-click gameplay with tons of inside jokes and hidden easter eggs, a staple of the Homestarrunner.com experience. Matt and Mike Chapman are on the collaborative ticket, working closely with Telltale Games to get the humor and visual experience just right...including supplying their voices for their respective characters.

Details are slim at this point -- pricing and official release dates have not been revealed. One feature did make the announcement: Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People will feature WiiConnect 24 support.

AND THERE'S A TRAILER ON HR.COM! http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbcg4ap.html

I just had an orgasm..

Funny how games like this and Sam and Max are coming out to Wiiware instead of Live or PSN. I wonder what's the reason?

They're point click adventure games.. the Wii control scheme fits perfectly with this kind of game!

And Sam & Max is not coming to Wiiware, it will be sold on a disc with the complete first season.

Gameplay at the Nintendo Media Summit:

QUOTE said:
The demo began with Strong Bad waking up on his couch, after dreaming of Super Punch Out!!, a quick musical number and a hasty interaction with his portly brother, Strong Sad. After hassling his housemates, Strong Bad heads downstairs to chat with a despondent Homestar.

We're introduced quickly to Strong Bad's motivation. Homestar has been caught for indecency and Strong Bad is either tasked with cheering him up or making reparations for Homestar's pantslessness.

Interaction with characters uses a simple pop up talk bubble, with a minimal HUD that can be interacted with via Wii Remote pointer or the plus, minus and B buttons on the remote. Players will check the game map, use game tools and access other menus this way.

In the house kitchen, Strong Bad picks up a cell phone adding it to his inventory, giving him the ability to make prank phone calls. Strong Bad then heads outside to make a call to Marzipan and dig up a hidden Teen Girl Squad comic.

Heading upstairs, Strong Bad sits down in front of a television and Videlectrix console to play Snake Boxer 5, a simplistic top-down boxing game in the vein of Atari 2600 Boxing, but with snakes.

The demo ended there, but it certainly nailed all the right Strong Bad points. It was funny—genuinely funny, not typical video game writing funny—featured many of the series' beloved characters and looked very polished visually. The Telltale Games point & click adventure pedigree should do right by the IP and looks to please the rabid Strong Bad fanbase.

I'm a little worried by the WiiWare size limit of like, what is it, 43 MBs or something like that? I mean, Sam and Max: Season 1 is almost 700 MBs for 6 episodes. I think the voice work is going to be very limited and not have everything voiced like in Sam and Max.

Nintendo said some time ago that there was no size limit for WiiWare games, they were recommending the developers to don't make anything bigger than 40mb.. but there was no limit. Still, the Wii has only 512mb of space, I'm worried about the size of this game :/

QUOTE(michaelf @ Apr 11 2008, 03:16 PM) I can think of two things wrong with that title.

You never went to homestarrunner.com did you?

Microsoft said that Live Arcade titles would be limited in size, but that has since been removed.

Size limitations could simply be an way of testing how the servers handle the workload.

That was just for Capcom's Street Fighter HD and Bionic Commando as far as I know.

Also, Nintendo is going to have to release some kind of harddrive or something after WiiWare launches. In a few months, everyone's drives will be full.

Also, I just noticed this game is also coming to the PC as well.
