With TellTale bringing an episodic Monkey Island to WiiWare, fans have wondered if the remake of the original would follow.
Tales of Monkey Island is a new spin-off that's due to take over Nintendo's download service from July 7th. The original Secret of Monkey island, on the other hand, is being remade for Xbox Live Arcade and as a PC download - but no signs of WiiWare or PSN. That may change, however, with the project's producer Craig Derrick hinting at another platform or two for the remake.
Well, we never said we wouldn't be on Wiiware or PSN now did we. The truth is, though, Xbox LIVE offers a great user experience and downloadable service to gamers and we think it's a great platform to launch the game on. And, of course, the game will also be available on PC via digital download, plus we may have another platform announcement to make very, very soon.Craig Derrick, Producer, Monkey Island: Special Edition
