    We've already announced that one of them is a wiiware series, so... obviously there is no configuration in which the two new series are only on PC.
  • edited April 2008
    Is Wiiware only available in the USA at launch?

    Have there been any global rollout estimates yet?

    Edit: Never mind (wikipedia); "The first WiiWare games were officially launched on March 25, 2008 in Japan. WiiWare games will be available in the U.S. on May 12, 2008. A Wii Shop Channel update from 20 March 2008 also suggested that WiiWare games would also launch in PAL regions in May of that year."

    Still wonder if Aus & NZ will lag behind northern hemisphere PAL regions.

    Isn't that pretty much guaranteed?

    I mean, we lag behind for pretty much /all/ media releases. Sometimes we're lucky enough to get movie or book releases the same day as other countries, but we're /always/ behind when it comes to games, dvds, tv shows...

    Our TV stations have wised up to bittorrents, and so we get the Daily Show screening here before it airs in some places in the US. Plus Lost & Survivor within a week of the US dates.

    Movies here seem to stick to global release days - at least the blockbusters. And I can't think of many CDs that are released more than a week different to the USA.

    But yeah, games and technology rollouts are often a different matter.

    You lucky ba*ds! When The Daily Show was on SBS here (it isn't any more), we only got the "Global Edition" which is where they take the four shows of the US Daily Show and compress four half hours into one, cutting out a lot of good stuff. It's so much easier to just get the real show by.... other means.

    Australia doesn't have anything quite close to the Daily show when it comes to political satire or news parody. Chaser's could have got close, but they spent too much time on pranks and silly songs, and Newstopia is just silly fullstop (it has its good moments, I'll grant you).

    Some TV shows are supposedly "beamed directly from the US satellite!" nowadays, but it still doesn't explain why a satellite beam takes a week and a half...

    Hahah.
    That was funny. :)

    I've got it- Team Rocket: The Point and Click Adventure.
    The last episode can be the one where Ash just decides that he's tired of being stalked by a bunch of twentysomethings and their talking cat and just gives them the Pikachu.

    I actually wouldn't be all that surprised if Telltale was working on a Nintendo IP. I don't expect it, but I wouldn't be shocked, either. Nintendo explicitely mentioned Telltale in their WiiWare press release (granted, they also mentioned Frontier and Square-Enix), and the series will be revealed at the Nintendo Media Summit. According to Capcom, that event focusses on Nintendo developed/ published games.

    Is today the day of the Nintendo Media Summit, or am I imagining things again?

    You're imagining things :) It's currently 10:30 am on Wednesday. The Nintendo summit is Thursday and Friday.

    Captain N or Kid Icarus might work, and the latter is actually supposed to be in the works. Brain fart, of course... :)

    Yes. Yes it was.

    /Wasn't really trying to hide it.
    //Even so, the whole concept is pretty ridiculous.

    Strong Bad? I'm a bit disapointed, but I guess you can't please everyone. Since I don't own a Wii either, there is really no pleasing me anyway. :)

    Many combolations, Elizagerth!

    I'm not exactly a fan of Homestar Runner, but I guess it's cool. I still would have prefered a brand new IP, in which Telltale could have exploited all their wacky ideas without having to worry about if they fit the licence.

    Also, I'm a bit concerned about all those lame comparisons that will inevitably raise from the media, between this game and that other episodic-adventure-game-based-on-a-famous-web-comic to be released around the same period, Peny Arcade Adventures.

    But anyway, aside from that, I think this is great news. Congratulations!

    Doesn't matter. They would have been compared to Sam & Max anyway.

    So did I read the article correctly at the end, this series will also be on the PC and not exclusivve to the Wii? If so, yay. I don't have to buy a Wii now.
  • edited April 2008
    :confused::confused:

    I guess I just don't get it. Can't please everyone I suppose.

    Are those cartoons supposed to be funny?

    Hopefully the other series will be better.

    I'm just happy to be getting a new telltale game every month for what appears to be a while now, so I don't care what license it is. Could be the Smurfs for all I care.

    Smurfs? Really? :D

    Sure, the Smurfs would be great! The whole game could revolve around daily life in the village and solving puzzles to avoid caught by Gargamel.
  • edited April 2008
    I was being a little sarcastic but in all honesty if telltale made a smurfs adventure game, I would buy it just because I enjoy their games so much.

    Some interesting news hidden in a GameSpot Q&A:
    GameSpot wrote:
    Telltale is apparently done getting the lay of the land now, as Connors said it has four series in development, and is planning to have at least three series this year, churning out an episode a month with the series schedules running back-to-back-to-back.
    (emphasis mine)
    Four series? There's the two series we've been talking about here, there's probably more Sam & Max, but what would #4 be? Hm...

    Hopefully Bone again but I'm not holding my breath. Though maybe with the new WB movie announcement it's a possibility.

    They brought Hard Evidence to the Wii a while back now, and I don't remember it being destined for anywhere else. I suppose it could be a new CSI game though.

    CSI wouldn't be "all new", now would it?
  • edited April 2008
    So the #4 series is all new too? This is getting better and better. :)
