A Funny Little Reference I Found

For anyone that doesn't have the WiiWare version of this game, watch literally the first 10 seconds of this video:

Anyway, when the game is selected from the Wii Menu, Strong Bad loads up SBCG4AP102.wad. It's pretty much implied that he's loading a pirated copy of the game.

The funny thing is, though, .wad is a Wii channel-format file, but it's the unofficial one used for piracy; Nintendo and other developers don't even use or acknowledge it. Someone over at Telltale hasn't been buying their games if they actually knew about this. :P

Old news, but I thought it was pretty funny.

    .wad files are used extensively during the development of WiiWare titles! They are part of the development process and this has nothing to do with piracy. When we were making SBCG4AP it was very early in WiiWare and I there wasn't any WiiWare piracy at that time...

    Hey weren't .wad files used for Doom and Quake back in the day?

    Also, if you know that .wads are used for piracy, wouldn't that imply that you pirate?

    They're also used for making legit Japanese discs playable on an American console. So it's not necessarily piracy, but still...
