In addition to bringing its Sam & Max episodic adventure series to Wii, Telltale's working a WiiWare game.
It's called Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, and will be release as a series of episodic instalments, with the first part to hit in June. It'll consist of five instalments in total, and be released on a monthly schedule.
Apparently, it's based on Matt and Mike Chapman's online animated series (Who? What?) and Strong Bad is "the self-proclaimed coolest person ever".
"The episodes play like extended cartoons, during which the player assumes the role of Strong Bad - controlling his actions, hearing his innermost thoughts, and becoming part of his awesome world," Telltale explains.
It continues, "Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People is a story-driven series with a comic spin that's undeniably Strong Bad. The player uncovers each episode's comedic plot through character interaction, dialogue-based puzzles, and the use (and abuse) of inventory items."
Telltale adds that each episode is crammed with "time-wasters" to "keep players poking around in the world, including Strong Bad emails to check, prank phone calls to place, and mini-games..." and that WiiConnect 24 features are included.
"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", beamed Telltale CEO Dan Connors.
Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People will be released on PC, too.
