Telltale has announced that WiiWare sales of Strong Bad's Cool
Game for Attractive People, the first monthly episodic series on
a console, have more than doubled since Nintendo's new storage
solution was unveiled at the Game Developer's Conference in March.
The Strong Bad series began releasing episodically on WiiWare
in August 2008.
"Nintendo's new solution really opens the door for players to add to
their collection of downloadable games, which is critical for a
series with multiple installments," says Telltale CEO Dan
Connors. "This is a major step forward for episodic gaming. We're
looking forward to even greater success on WiiWare with Strong
Bad, as well as other projects."
Like a TV series, Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People
is best enjoyed when the full five episode "season" is played in its
entirety. Nintendo's new option to play WiiWare games directly from
high-density SD cards gives customers a convenient way to enjoy this
full-season experience.
Starring Strong Bad, the self-proclaimed "coolest person ever," and
the rest of the characters from the popular Homestarrunner.com
website, Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People is a
series of comedy games that play like interactive cartoons. Each
episode features a unique storyline penned by series creators Mike
and Matt Chapman and the writers of Telltale's award-winning Sam
& Max series. Arcade-style mini-games, achievements, and the
ability to email Wii friends from Strong Bad's laptop complete the
experience.
The Strong Bad games can be downloaded from the Wii Shop
Channel for 1,000 points each. For more information on Strong Bad's

Telltale's episodic offerings are expanding to XboxLIVE!
Arcade this spring with Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures. |
