    What IGN said is true - we have submitted the game to Nintendo, and as soon as we get approval from them, it will be released quickly after that. We really are in the home stretch. :D We've been waiting to announce a release date until we have that approval, though, because until that happens, well, anything can happen!

    Sounds like the game is finished, is there anything preventing a release of the PC version right now, does it really matter if it comes out before the Wiiware launch?

    Maybe Emily or one of the TTG guys can shed some light on this...

    :eek: Woah, they combined like 15 different threads to this one mega-thread. The sheer size of this thing scares me...

    The PC release has been receiving its final spit-shine clean-up pass at the same time as the Wii release. As Emily said, there have been some last minute niggling bugs we've been stomping out, and that pertains to both versions of the game.

    Fortunately, as the programmers close down episode one, episodes two, three, and four are also coming along swimmingly (making it) on their own. Getting all the pieces of the crazy SBCG4AP started up and moving was a little more intense than we expected, but I think we're over the hill at this point, which means we can't do much but hang on as we go barreling down out of control into the unsuspecting town below. Or something.

    It's tomorrow. :D

    Emily said it's definitely *not* tomorrow, Ninja. They were wrong. Again. As Jake said, just up there right above you, it took a lot more to get things started up than they thought. And that delayed it a couple months, which is definitely disappointing, but they're apparently "in the home stretch".

    So...a monday or two away? =o

    How is it not tomorrow? It says July as the release date for awhile. Since Monday is when all dl Wii games release, it has to be tomorrow, as it is the last monday of the month.

    If it has changed, then why hasn't telltale told us? It should be everywhere, not just known on these forums.

    Thanks Emily,

    I propose a closure to this thread. All in favor?

    We really do need to close this thread....so we can all get cracking making a "Delayed until August :(" thread that is bigger and better! :p

    Look back a couple of pages, Emily just told us that we won't be seeing it today. That means we'll get it next week or later. Not good for me, since it'll probably be released when I'm on holiday if it's after the 8th.

    It no longer says coming this July, but now 'this summer'.
  • edited July 2008
    Oh, good. They can keep that up until, what, September 23rd? =p
  • edited July 2008
    At least it gets August in the release date. Now for a thread to say when in august now.
  • edited July 2008
    Well... I have some cardboard boxes covered in mayo. If by next week, I still don't have Strong Bad, I'm putting them in a certain game office, then wait 30 minutes to clean it up, vacuum and spray air freshener. 30 whole minutes!
  • edited July 2008
    I hope it's released not on the 4th, because I'm going on vacation from this Saturday to the Saturday after that. I don't want to miss anything!

    Psst, Telltale. I'll give you like, $300 if you release it on the 11th.
  • edited July 2008
    Yes, I do hope the game conforms to YOUR schedule.

    Come on now, 16 Bit "Not Sonic the Hedgehog". If it comes out on the 4th, it'd be here when you got back. The game wouldn't be GOING anywhere. It's not an EVENT that STOPS HAPPENING after the day of release.

    I'm aware of that. I meant "I don't want to be late in getting it".

    Simply cancel your vacation, then... that should fix it.

    Ah the folks at Kotaku feel my pain. http://kotaku.com/5029905/wii-downloadables-+-catching-up-to-beer-pong :)

    Here's hoping for something of a release date(PC version at least?) or at least a price point for Strong Bad along with the Wallace and Gromit info that should be hitting today.

    Come on, Nintendo, hurry up with the submission process...

    Well, I guess I can wait. (says British Jinx as he suspiciously puts Bomb Chargers around Nintendo of America HQ)

    I doubt the wait is going to be that long. Emily said they were in the "home stretch" so the game will probably be released in 2-3 weeks.

    Okay, I'm back from my "accepting that SBCG4AP isn't coming out in July" class.Now back to business.Since we are in the nigh of SBCG4AP's release, I was wondering what people were hoping to see in the final build, and place their bets on when it's going to come out.



    My bet, next MONDAY!!!!!!!!


    I hope

    Takin' on bets! Moved or locked? I got $20 on moved!
  • edited July 2008
    Well yeah. I'm personally really pissed off about this. I mean I know it's not telltale's complete fault but really they should have planned better. June? Well I can accept that push back since they were making the game better but not this one. I mean they can still release the PC version now but w/e. Poor planning.

    Seriously, calm down. It's not technically finished. When it is, you'll be playing it.

    The thread title will remain with the prefix "Moved: " added to it. When you click on the thread, it will open where it was moved to. There are a few examples already if you scroll down in the Strong Bad General Discussion.
