Homestar Runner is coming! Homestar Runner is coming!

Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, a series of episodic games for WiiWare, is coming to the Wii this June, Telltale Games announced today. The game will be released as a five-episode season, coming out on a monthly schedule. Release dates and pricing are expected closer to June.

"Homestarrunner.com is one of the biggest success stories in online entertainment," says Telltale CEO Dan Connors. "The Chapmans have been treating the Internet to episodic content for years. We're thrilled to have teamed up with them to take episodic gaming to the next level via Nintendo's innovative WiiWare delivery system."

The games will allow players to take control of Strong Bad in extended cartoons and features the cast of characters and cartoons from the popular website. All of the games will be voice acted by Matt Chapman and the rest of the original cast.

The game will include plenty of dialog-based puzzles, the ability to make prank phone calls, check Strong Bad's email and play Homestar Runner arcade games.

Homestar Runner stopped being funny back whe-

...oh, wait, it was never funny.

Just let it die already, rather than infecting my Wii.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

It's 'infecting' the PC as well.

The Chapman brothers have always been big Nintendo fans. If you watch the video interviews of them at their house, you can see their N64 and GCN behind them at the computer. I think in one shot, one of the brothers is actually behind them playing it.

Coincidentally, I noticed that site updates became much more scarce right around when the Wii released. Haha. And a couple months later, they updated a bunch of their site's games to be more compatible with Wii Opera.

These guys love the Wii. I've been expecting this for a long time.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

 The original Homestarrunner cartoon was in Mariopaint, I believe.

And in other news, VGChartz user famousringo has starved to death after spending all of his money on Wii points. He will be missed...

... by somebody, I'm sure...

Scroll button and the lappy together at last. How you ever learn to scriggly scroll so fast?

It's sad I still remember that from two or three years ago when I last visited that site. I loved it so much.
