Strong Bad roughs up WiiWare, PC
I am probably just about the biggest Strong Bad fan that there is, and when I read over at Gamespot that he is coming to the PC and Wiiware later this year, I found myself glad that I'm running Boot Camp!Despite the recently announced retail release of Sam & Max: Season
1 for the Nintendo Wii, Telltale Games was built from the ground-up to
sell its games online. Given that focus, it's fitting that the
developer today has announced its next digitally distributed project
will feature a character born and bred on the Internet.
Telltale
today revealed Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, an
adventure game for the PC and WiiWare starring the "thousandaire
gadabout" Strong Bad. The first episode of the five-part series will
debut on WiiWare in June, with follow-ups releasing on a monthly basis.
(Telltale did not specify if the series' PC releases would be
simultaneous with the console versions and had not responded to a
request for clarification as of press time.) In the game, players will
take control of Strong Bad himself, solving puzzles while interacting
with the world and characters of Homestarrunner.com.
Strong Bad is no stranger to gaming. In addition to having his song "Trogdor" adapted for use as a bonus song in Guitar Hero II, the pugnacious pen pal has previously proposed a number of different treatments for a Strong Bad game.
