I still think the two PC boxes, especially the one we get through this website, are nicer. But this box isn't bad either, and they do look like they're running off to a rather exciting adventure. You can see the excitement in their dark, featureless eyes!
hmm, the final box is somehow missing a telltale-logo..
Random fact: Nintendo only allows the logo of the publisher of record on the front of the box.
Even though Telltale and The Adventure Company are co-publishing this game, TAC is the publisher in the eyes of Nintendo, so their logo goes the front.
...so, other than being the people to look to for the best games I've ever played that nobody's ever heard about, what *is* The Adventure Company, anyway? Are they just the guys that have the infrastructure to distribute games in box and disc form, or what?
I'm just curious as to their role in this, and also why Nintendo considers them to be the "main" publisher. Was it just random, or what exactly?
The Adventure Company is a registered retail publisher with Nintendo, which they presumably set up when they were publishing their other games on the Wii (eg that Wii Agatha Christie game). We're registered online publishers with Nintendo (SBCG4AP coming soon to a WiiWare near MeeWare!), but as far as I know, we didn't bother becoming a retail publisher in regards to Sam & Max Wii, because we were partnering with someone who already is one. They have the experience and infrastructure to mass produce games and to get them into stores. They're also in it together with us to go in on advertising purchases, and stuff. It's nice to not go it alone on something like our first self-published console retail release; having a co-publisher who wants the game to succeed just as much as you is a nice thing to have.
Wii fans rejoice! One by one, Sam & Max will invade and take over the PCs and video game systems of the world and cause the mass meltdown of every human brain in the world!
We got the finalized box art, and it's good. Now, TELLS US WHEN THE GAME'S COMING OUT! I need the information, so I can tell my co-workers over at GameStop the release date, and spread the word over to the over branches of the GameStop Corporation.
Well, if it's August and some were on the 3rd. ...
It's August 3rd!
You heard it hear, folks! Go spread baseless assumptions like some kind of plague or catharsis* or something!

I'm surprised Brady's fro was able to fit in that widescreen format.
Can you post a bigger version of the final box?
It's probably on the back with all the other logos, seeing how TTG has their name scrawled across the top ABOVE the title.
It is indeed on the back "with all the other logos" (Telltale's and the Adventure Company's ).
That looks great!
GASP! TELLTALE YOU ACTUALLY LISTENED TO MY REQUEST....
*sniff* i love you even more now
