It won't be long before Joystiq's wallets are drained of life thanks to Nintendo's freshly delivered digital download service, WiiWare. However, they are saving a few Wii Points under the mattress for Telltale's upcoming episodic take on iconic internet flash cartoon, Homestar Runner, in Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People. It's dot com.
With the series announced to launch in June and new first episode details expected to drop later this week, Joystiq headed over to Bubs' Concession Stand for more information on the upcoming game. Of course, he wasn't much help, though he did point them over to Telltale, where they spoke with marketer extraordinaire Emily Morganti about all things Strong Bad.
In 2004, Kevin Bruner and Dan Connors founded Telltale, Inc. with a new perspective on gaming. With years of experience working on grand scale projects akin to "blockbuster movies," Bruner and Connors created Telltale to establish a more nimble, faster-paced, digitally-distributed episodic game model comparable to television production. Five years later-with over one million episodes sold-Telltale is celebrating with an eye toward an even brighter future.
Having released over twenty games since Spring 2005 for PC, Xbox 360, and Wii, Telltale's most recent project, Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures, is releasing monthly on PC and coming soon to XboxLIVE! Arcade. A new series in development will be announced at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), next month.
