Announcing Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People
Posted by emily April 10, 2008
Our new WiiWare series has been announced.

We'll have a site up at 1:00 Pacific time that includes a trailer, screenshots, and a FAQ addressing all your burning questions, so make sure to come by then. Update: The SBCG4AP site is up!

On this page you'll find a gameplay trailer, screenshots, a FAQ that answers every question you could possibly have about the game, and the inaugural entry of Strong Bad's dev blog, which is where he'll be recording his opinions about the production of the game.

We've also added some Strong Bad merch to the store...

Woo!

Telltale just got cooler! You guys create my favorite game series with Sam & Max and now you take my favorite Email Reading series and turn it into a real game! 4 pm EST can't come soon enough, but only after I play Sam & Max 205.

You have got to be kidding me... I am in complete shock right now. I love Homestar Runner but I never thought this would actually happen.

(I'm extremely excited btw)

Stupendous! I absolutely love the Strong Bad emails! I can't wait for this! Telltale: you guys and gals are awesome!

TROGDOR!!!!!!!!
Comment by V_Ben April 10, 2008, 9:25 am
This is the best news I could have read all week. Telltale couldn't be more pro. I'll probably end up buying both the Wii and PC version. Heh

AND THE TELLTALE COME IN THE NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!

Sorry for stretching the comments page. I was being selfish and din't think of the repercussions of my actions.
Comment by RabidZombie April 10, 2008, 10:18 am
Wow! Two of my favorite places to waste my time on the internets have finally teamed up! Who knows how much time I can waste now? The possibilities are endless! (Thought: Strongbad's Feature Length Film for Awesome People. Coming to a theater near you... In 2015...)
Comment by Robotguy4 April 10, 2008, 10:48 am
Very surprised. Very.
Comment by karnovrpg April 10, 2008, 11:01 am
A Strong Bad game? Made by Telltale? On the Wii?

No, you can't! The universe can't possibly handle all of that awesome in one place!
Comment by wefeelgroove April 10, 2008, 12:00 pm
I'll force myself not to overcapitalize or flood this with !s.
When I heard S&M was coming to Wii, I decided I wouldn't buy it because I would need to actually buy a Wii as well. Then I saw the H*R video that seemed to imply some stuff for the Wii - though I refused to actually believe those delusional suspicions of mine. So guess what I decided? That if H*R came out for the Wii, I was getting the console.

And it turns out it is coming out - and on Telltale. Wow. I'm sold. Very much yes like. You guys kick boat take. Now I'll go merrily frolic in a nearby field.
Comment by nhaingen April 10, 2008, 12:10 pm
Telltale wins the Internets.
Comment by TrogLlama April 10, 2008, 12:25 pm
nhaingen, you could just buy a wiimote, a wireless sensor bar, a bluetooth dongle and a PC and you could reproduce all the fun in your own home! I did. Although, S&M and Strong Bad channels on my Wii would be awesome... I'm sold!
Comment by RabidZombie April 10, 2008, 12:41 pm
Just when I thought Telltale was the best company around.. giving me Sam & Max... and that sweet CSI... and now... my favorite web toon (albeit on a platform I don't own... yet :)) in a game! Awesome, guys!
Comment by Tarand April 10, 2008, 12:49 pm
Okay, I don't want to be a spoilsport here, but I really don't know what this thing is!!!!
Looks fun, though.
I'll investigate. :-)

That is all.

.....WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! TELLTALE AND HOMESTAR TOO!?!?!?!?! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST COMPANY IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!! *GASP* *GASP*
Comment by tobar April 10, 2008, 1:49 pm
Totally ignore my previous comment. In fact, that wasn't even me. That was....a dongle goblin. What I would like to say is that this is quite possibly some of the best news ever. This company is clearly a manifestation of my thoughts and desires. For they first resurrect my favorite Freelance Police and have kept them alive. And now they've gone and done what I knew in my heart was the perfect thing to do. Partner with the Brothers Chaps. Telltale games....I want to have your babies.
Comment by tobar April 10, 2008, 2:06 pm
I just soiled myself...
Comment by Nol April 10, 2008, 2:31 pm
I'm guessing I'm the only person who isn't excited about this. I never though homestar runner was that funny so I doubt I'll play the game. I'm sure Telltale will will make an excellent game out of it but the source material just doesn't interest me.

At least I've got Sam and Max season 2 to catch up with!
Comment by lotr-sam0711 April 10, 2008, 2:35 pm
This one has gone completely over my head..don't even know what it is.. I guess I was expecting a bigger IP
Comment by Hero1 April 10, 2008, 2:49 pm
This isn't real. I don't believe it.
Comment by CaptainXax April 10, 2008, 4:00 pm
Dude, I watch Homestarrunner ALL freakn day long! This stuff make me fart all day! Strongbad---- U da MAN!!!!!
Comment by Mark Wohld April 10, 2008, 5:31 pm
Hi all. My naem is Mattyy and I like to drink likwid carrots. I have nasal problums and itchie pants.

Strongbad is my hero and I like strngmad two. I tri to watckh them all the time.

I like piggons and dinosars and wolverine.
Comment by Matty McHoyerfartin April 10, 2008, 5:38 pm
Crazy crossover. I'm just happy it's on PC too. Because, you know, the wii pointing isn't exactly precise.
Comment by Yit April 10, 2008, 7:13 pm
i was wondering, if when the 5 episodes finish do u think there will be a bonus disc? be cause i think that'll look good on my shelf.
Comment by kgoodies April 10, 2008, 8:51 pm
Telltale again use their powers for awesome :)
Comment by Quuux April 11, 2008, 12:18 am
Heheh, I saw in the forums that most people have Homestarrunner.com avatars, so Telltale has actually granted severeal people's dreams come true (including mine!)
Comment by tredlow April 11, 2008, 1:51 am
(Sorry fer the double posting here)

I am also glad that it'll be on the PC, I don't really have a wii...
Comment by tredlow April 11, 2008, 1:52 am
I...

You...

The...

And a...

...

I'm sorry, I have to go have a lie down. This is too much awesome to take while sitting upright. I may need to go watch a Uwe Boll movie just so the sheer level of incredibility doesn't cause my head to explode.

I didn't think you guys could be more awesome. You couldn't have proven me more wrong.
Comment by FoboldFKY April 11, 2008, 1:58 am
TELLTALE + BROTHERS CHAPS = ONE HEAPING LOAD OF AWESOME STRONG BAD FUN!!! I NEED TO LIE DOWN, I JUST CAN'T HANDLE THE GENIUSNESS!!!!
Comment by Lachlan April 11, 2008, 2:31 am
Telltale delivers. Strong Bad is such a logical fit for an adventure game series, perhaps even in the "Too Good To Be True" basket. Well done sirs, you've made this customer very happy :)
Comment by covox April 11, 2008, 2:48 am
dont forget homsar easter eggz!
Comment by anonymouz April 11, 2008, 3:18 am
Omigawd.... Im crying right now... tears of shear.... EXCITEMENT!!!! Oh my gawd!! Ive been waiting for this day to come!! Its been like 3 years, man! I will be waiting for this. I will be awake the night of the release, and its homestar runner marathon time for me, and I will get the game as soon as it comes out... now if I can be told of the release date so i can do that. I probably will have an exciting party afterwards, and have all my friends over. Im putting wii points on my bday listm and will save up. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH MYYYYYYYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOSHHHH!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! [girly scream]

For what it's worth, the game controls very well on the Wii! I had my concerns early in the project, but when playing the game, it feels natural and so cool.
Comment by Jake April 11, 2008, 11:07 am
Waudju-- gighi-- ikuh-- AWESOME!!!! I didn't even know about Telltale Games until I was told about this game, and I just have to say it's AWESOME!!! I definitely have to try it!!
You know what I think will be next? Strong Bad and/or Homestar in a Smash Bros. game. Strong Bad's Final Smash could be turning into Vector Strong Bad, not sure about Homestar though...
Comment by MattsterMaster April 11, 2008, 2:49 pm
Awesome!!! I was hoping Strong Bad would one day break out of the pixelated gaming and into something better...I've never heard of Telltale games before, but if they can make a game out of Strong bad, they must be awesome!
Comment by Elizabeth April 11, 2008, 9:42 pm
I'm so excited. I may come from the UK but I saw that H.R Wii video on X-Play where he tells you how to use it with safety and such. The game was cool enough, but you just got cooler by saying it's out for PC. All I need now is Telltale doing a Doctor Who point-and-click game and I'm all set.

It's wierd, I had a dream about a H.R game 5 days ago. You are the best, Telltale Games. Apart from Moai Better Blues. Especially about Moai Better Blues!
Comment by jackcos13 April 12, 2008, 9:23 am
Teen Girl Squad to make an appearance! Please.
Comment by jackcos13 April 12, 2008, 9:26 am
Yaaay

...but...wait...this means we're never going to see that Bone Episode 3, are we? :(
Comment by dtldj April 12, 2008, 10:40 am
Telltale, the only game company that makes me happy more than 3 times in only one month
Comment by some nerdy guy April 12, 2008, 11:16 am
I guess this explains the April Fool's joke involving the Youtube video about the Wii safety warnings, doesn't it?
Comment by Farm Fresh April 12, 2008, 8:13 pm
Great... I've been dealing with a fast heart rate all day, finally get it slowed down with only an hour or so more left to my day... and see this! I'm giggling like a school girl and it's scaring my cats. This is freakin' great! I love you guys! I got Gametap just to play Sam & Max... and now you guys are taking on my other computer animated hero. Yay!! This is.. oh wow. Damn it... now I gotta go find something else to slow down my heart.
Comment by Anathema April 12, 2008, 10:40 pm
Those guys make me laugh... I'm so stoked man, this game will be all I play for a long time. I've never heard of Telltale before I heard about this awesome game, but based on what everyone thinks of it, this should be one totally awesome game!
Comment by On your lest April 13, 2008, 3:26 pm
One more thing, I don't know if this is already known but.. More SBCG4AP Info
Comment by On your lest April 13, 2008, 3:56 pm
Oh. my. god....I think I'm going to die...Quite literally die, I will be one of the first peoeple to buy this in my city once it comes out!!! I love SB and HR, and you are going to make it a game?! I think we'll need to make another demension just to hold all of its glorious nuddguals...And cruduals...CANT WAIT!
Comment by Thomas April 13, 2008, 7:32 pm
Coolest. 'nuf said.
Comment by didgers April 14, 2008, 4:16 am
Wow, so totaly awesome... nes.. wow.
I was kind of let down at the fact that you can't play homestar, but its not bad.. at least he is there in some sence.
Not sure ill like this though, im not real nuts about games where all you do is point and click unless im causing things to happen and fighting off some kind of badguy.
I more or less envisioned a game based on that universe as being something more like a platformer, with stuff.. happening... not walk around interact.. kick the cheat.. though thats pretty cool to.
Comment by Michael Ponder Jr April 15, 2008, 7:37 am
There are a lot of people commenting. I'm impressed.
I wonder if this will be real. Lol... :D
Comment by Bella April 15, 2008, 3:46 pm
This.
Is.
Awesome.

I'm pretty happy--it seems you've incorporated every part of the house to fit into one building, somehow, and you've even remembered the No Loafing sign! And, well, you've by far proven yourselves worthy to make a Strong Bad video game, so you're pretty much my idol now.
Comment by Thundersqueak April 19, 2008, 8:40 pm
ohmygod.

SERIOUSLY?! I practically died from shock when this came up on the site! At first I thought that maybe they were just jokin' around, you know, dangling a piece of string in front of our faces, but then I came here and it's TRUE!

I absolutly LOVE you guys^^
