Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People; WiiWare Official Thread

Telltale Games (Sam & Max, CSI games) is set to announce their WiiWare title next week at Nintendo's media summit. In an interview with Wired they confirmed that it will be a full announcement, not just screens etc. and they are refusing to even give hints, as they say the audience which is after a title like this, is a very attentive audience who would work it out straight away from any inkling of info.

So, what kind of game are they working on?

Hard to say. The Telltale engine seems pretty damn versitle, so I wouldn't immediately jump to the assumption that it's a point and click adventure like Sam & Max.

Wow, certainly didn't expect this. The first episodic game for Wiiware will be SBCG4AP! Here's the FAQ and some screenies...
Quote:
 
What is Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People?
SBCG4AP is a new episodic game series starring Strong Bad and the rest of the crew from the Homestarrunner.com cartoons. The games are being developed by Telltale Games, the same company who has been tirelessly turning out Sam & Max episodes since 2006.

Who is Strong Bad? What is Homestarrunner.com?
Homestarrunner.com is a cartoon created by Mike and Matt Chapman in 1999, and Strong Bad is the series' most popular character. He's an awesome guy who enjoys answering emails from random fans, beating up his younger brother, and messing with people. It's kind of hard to explain. Just visit homestarrunner.com and see for yourself.

(Oh, also Strong Bad was voted Sexiest Man Alive by Salon.com. Which is a little weird, since he's a cartoon character who goes around wearing a lucha libre mask and no shirt, but we try not to be judgmental.)

Who is this game for?
Attractive people.

No, really. What will the gameplay be like?
These are story games, with weird plots and tons of dialogue conceived through a mind-meld between the guys who make the Homestarrunner.com cartoons and the team who brought you Sam & Max Seasons One and Two. In each SBCG4AP episode, you take control of Strong Bad and interact with other characters in beloved locations such as Strong Bad's basement, Bub's Concession Stand, and The Stick. Besides talking to other characters and messing with their minds, you'll also get to dress up in funny costumes, check email on Strong Bad's trusty Lappy 486, and play arcade-style mini games such as the timeless Snake Boxer 5.

Are you doing anything special for WiiWare?
SBCG4AP was designed specifically for WiiWare, and we're cooking up some fun ways to use the controller. We'll also be taking advantage of Wii Connect24 with some special features that will tie the episodes together and let you communicate with friends.

Okay, I want to check it out. Where/when can I play it?
The five-episode season of SBCG4AP will kick off on WiiWare this June. SBCG4AP will also be released for PC from our online store, both as individual episodes and in a full season bundle. (More details on the PC release coming soon!)

How long will I have to wait between Strong Bad episodes?
Episodes will be released one month apart, giving you just enough time to play through the game, dissolve into fits of mad laughter (and potentially freak out any cats or small children in the vicinity), poke around and find all the hidden stuff we crammed into the game for your amusement, and tell all your friends how great it was before it's time to start on the next one.
They already have a great track record with S&M, I reckon this'll be a sure hit :D

A couple of "new" vids from gametrailers. The first is the original game announcement on the site that was only viewable by going there...
