Now it's official: Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge SE will be relased this summer on PC, (MAC?), XBL, PSN & iPhone.

Website screenshot gallery: http://www.lucasarts.com/games/monkeyisland2/#/gallery
Press release: http://www.lucasarts.com/company/release/news20100310.html

Additional control scheme is implemented, artworks are closer to the original. Character artworks look much better than the ones in TSoMI: SE in my opinion.

Also - The Secret of Monkey Island SE will be released on Mac (via Aspyr's download agent) and PSN and the Windoes version will be released on Telltale's online store (so far this version was only available via Steam):

"To recap: SOMI Special Edition coming soon to PSN and Mac, amongst other cool things. Tons of Playstation Home avatar stuff coming for Monkey Fans. Special Edition 2 hits this summer for XBLA, PSN, PC, Mac, and iPhone. Phew. And yeah - we fixed his hair."

Facebook announcement seems to contradict LucasArts' official press release regarding release of MI 2 on Mac, but anyway:
Monkey Island 1+2 are not only among the best and most popular point&click adventure games ever made, together they are also my all-time most favourite game. I'm glad that they are remade in a such a cool way and that they can be enjoyed 20/19 years after their original releases by even more people.

If we can get old graphics + new voices and sounds, that would be awesomely awesome. Otherwise, BRING IT ON! I'm ready to do some woodchuckin'!

Nice, I'll be getting this as soon as it's released. I just wish they make the rest of their classic games readily available.

@Killergran: Yes, it seems "This time around, newly recorded voiceovers from the original series cast will be available in either version of the game." http://www.adventuregamers.com/newsitem.php?id=2061

Some large screenshots:

In this screenshot of MI2:SE

you can clearly see that Guybrush looks way better than in MI1:SE

Good to see that LucasArts listened to those fans of the original who hated the character models used in MI1:SE.

Is there any indication of the first game making its way to PSN? Seems so messed up otherwise...

Lol.. thanks, yeah I can't read apparently.
That's great then, I'll be getting them both, probably some of the best writing in a video game from what I remember at least.
