Telltale Aim for Attractive People in WiiWare

Telltale's WiiWare project has been revealed: Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People.

Based on the Homestar runner series Starring Strong Bad, the game is set to debut on WiiWare in June, boasting simple controls and WiiConnect 24 functionality. Much Like TellTale's Sam & Max series, SBCG4AP comes as a 5-episode "season", each released on a monthly basis.

Homestarrunner.com is one of the biggest success stories in online entertainment. 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."

Telltale CEO Dan Connors.

Players go through each episode by interacting with fellow characters, solving puzzles and using various inventory items - your regular point and click adventure with some comedy elements. To keep players busy during each episode there will be a handful of mini arcade games to play and nifty interactions to try out.

Homestar Runner was conceived in 1996 by Mike Chapman and friend Craig Zobel as an idea for a weird kids' book they would only make a few photocopies of for friends. In 2000, Mike and brother Matt dusted off the idea and launched Homestarrunner.com, featuring the Flash-animated exploits of the characters. Since 2002, they have updated with new cartoons almost every week including the popular feature 'Strong Bad Email' in which fans get their emails answered by the cartoon's charming antagonist, Strong Bad.

Screens and video content will be revealed later today.
