WiiWare Getting Invaded By Strong Bad & Co.

Telltale will be bringing a Home Star Runner game to the upcoming WiiWare service (and PC).

If that isn't my favorite sentence I've ever written on this blog, I don't know what is. Here's the second coolest one ever: It's going to be called Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People (or SBCG4AP). If you're unfamiliar with the HSR universe you best learn yourself, son.

The game won't be ready for the launch of the service, but should hit some time in June. I think I finally found a reason to buy a Wii, of course, I could always play it on PC...

Hit the jump for the full press release.

[Game|Life]

Telltale is working closely with the Chapmans on the series' art style, storylines, and scripts. This hands-on collaboration will deliver long-time fans the ultimate Strong Bad experience and give new players a crash course in the series' offbeat and unusual humor. The episodes play like extended cartoons, during which the player assumes the role of Strong Bad—controlling his actions, hearing his innermost thoughts, and becoming part of his awesome world. SBCG4AP features the cast of characters and locations from the Homestarrunner.com cartoons, and the games are fully voice acted by Matt Chapman and the rest of the original cast.

Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People is a story-driven series with a comic spin that's undeniably Strong Bad. The player uncovers each episode's comedic plot through character interaction, dialogue-based puzzles, and the use (and abuse) of inventory items. In addition, each episode will be crammed with time-wasters to keep players poking around in the world, including Strong Bad emails to check, prank phone calls to place, and mini-games styled after the arcade games on the Homestarrunner.com website.

"Telltale has been rejecting my ideas for green text adventures for years," laments thousandaire gadabout Strong Bad, "but we finally reached a compromise with this puffy 3D point-and-click-em-up adventure. They claim all the coding was done with green text, so I guess that's pretty cool."

In addition to WiiWare, Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People will be available on PC.

OH MAN, that's pure win! HR actually set up some of their flash games to work well with the Wii in the browser; I've played them and they're quite fun.

I surely hope this game features Senior Cardgage and Homsar. Something with the Cheat Commandos would be nice too, but that's more of a parody than an original idea.
