I have to say that so far I'm rather unimpressed with how Telltale has handled this. It would make for a good case study about how not to manage a cross-platform development project.
It's too bad Nintendo's release schedule for downloadables is so tough to pin down for sure. For all we know the Wii's Episode 3 has been ready for weeks, just waiting to go into the release pipeline.
I'm glad TTG is releasing the PC ones as they finish though, not waiting for Nintendo so they can release at the same time like they did with the Strong Bad episodes. That way at least some of us get to play without a needless wait time.

I don't think so. Nintendo handles the release schedule. I can safely bet that Episode 3 is ready (and submitted to Nintendo) but Nintendo's schedule isn't quite there.

Was Telltale forced into going the Wiiware route or was it a choice?
I hope that in Europe will be released next Friday
Knowing our luck, I doubt it. By the time I got Ep 2 off the Wiiware Shop it had been 2 months; by the time I finished it, chapter 3 was already available on PC.
I saw on a gamer site that wii version will be released tomorrow, 10/26. It's a far cry from the original vague date of 1-2 weeks after pc date of 9/29. We .... Wii missed almost an entire month. I'm still skeptical-there's no mention of the wiiware release date on the wii nintendo channel. I emailed Telltale AND Nintendo. One said approval/release was in the hands of the other. Sigh. All I care about is getting Chapter 3 and playing it! We've already got wii points on the system. Puleeeeez! We are having MWs....MONKEY WITHDRAWELS! hey, they had me at the very first Monkey Island, and I'll be a faithful fan :-). THE MONKEYS HAVE SPOKEN.....HOO HOO HAA HAA!
Just a reminder: We all are so obssesed with the launching of Chapter 4 on PC, that nobody said nothing about Chapter 3 NOT being released today on European WiiWare...

I was a little disappointed when I realized chapter 3 wasn't still released on wiiware. Damn you Nintendo of Europe! You could at least give us a date!

I saw that too. I wonder why they didn't announce it on their blog.

Sorry, it was a one-time thing. I can't do it for everybody!
