Wii Storage Solution Aids Strong Bad

Today Telltale announced sales of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People have doubled since Nintendo unveiled its long-awaited Wii storage solution two weeks ago. Telltale did not provide exact sales figures, however.

Strong Bad's game is an episodic point-and-click series downloadable via Nintendo's WiiWare service. The new storage solution allows gamers to play games off of an SD card, rather than from the Wii's limited internal memory. Apparently, gamers are taking advantage of all this new memory space and downloading more games – Strong Bad's Cool Game, particularly.

"Nintendo's new solution really opens the door for players to add to their collection of downloadable games, which is critical for a series with multiple installments," says Telltale CEO Dan Connors. "This is a major step forward for episodic gaming. We're looking forward to even greater success on WiiWare with Strong Bad, as well as other projects."

The five episodes in Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People received an average review score of 8.4 from IGN.
