@GorbyGipper: Great job, Hamstray! You're right, even when he says the word right, he says another one wrong.

Now, where are we going to store all this stuff? Will WiiWare let us save to an SD card? PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE!

@JimElNino: Well, episodes of Sam and Max were between 50 and 100 megs, I think, and they were mostly-talky, with some stuff subbed. So I don't think it's too much of a stretch to say that it'll be the same as those. I assume that their episodes are going to be between 2 and 3 hours to mess around with like Sam and Max were.

For some reason these screens make me think of Hard Gay. Not sure why...

Hard Gay game plx ;)

Yahoo Search Hard Gay for a laugh. Or YouTube search it. Or whatever.

I donno. I've never done Sam & Max so that's out the window. However I did endure the bugs, lags and crashes of CSI: Hard Evidence for the Wii, to which has me worried about this game. Will Telltale get their crap together and make something Strong Bad, or will the game's performance be utterly Strong Sad? Will it sweet like The Cheat, or will it make gamers Strong Mad? I can't say for sure, but the CSI game did come off like they had no clue on how to develop a title for the system, even if it was nothing more than a port.

BTW, nobody said these were in-game graphics whatsoever. Like Strong Bad said, he hasn't seen any yet.

Though I'm sure they'll resemble his concept art.

2003 called, they've requested their Internet shorts be returned as soon as possible. In the awesomest way possible. With the most awesomest crap in the world on top of it.

Okay, so I like Strongbad. Sue me! And 2003 didn't really call. It was 2004. ^_^

JimElNino — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 18:12:29 MDT

"tons of dialogue"?

So either:
A) its subtitled, which would be really lame (I doubt this)
B) The file size is huge
C) The sound is super compressed and sounds terrible
D) The game partially streams, which could be what they mean by taking advantage of WiiConnect24

What do you guys think?

We need more Dangeresque. Strong Bad trying to be an 80s action show PI would be the exact gimmick to carry a few stories.

They've nailed the look of the characters. Had to look closely to realize it was toon-shaded models and not just flash animation.

Strongbad gives any game and its home system instant street cred. I shall forever never again (yes, both at the same time) have anything bad to say about the gamecube 1.5 with waggle.

No, really, I'm getting this game as soon as I get my Wii... Which will be after I graduate...
