    I first found out about this from an ad in Nintendo Power magazine. It looks cool, but I don't have a Wii, so I'm not too excited about it.

    I have a Dreamcast sitting on a shelf dying from dust inhalation as it waits for the Samba de Amigo maraca controllers I'll never buy. :(

    I'm especially excited since I couldn't get episodes 4-6 working in WINE so I've pre-ordered it on Wii as soon as I saw it for pre-order! Can't wait!

    IT'S STILL ALIVE! ;_;

    Jake, seriously, what do you DO with all that money I send you? Cover production costs? Pay people? Invest in the next game? Isn't there some room in there for some....*checks ebay for what he is sure is a small sum, to which he shall link and force your non-maraca-owning hand*

    ...

    HOLY CRAP.

    Note: I say this in a good way. The Sonic games are what made me love the Dreamcast.

    Will there be any differences in the Wii versions, other than the controls?
  • JakeJake Telltale Alumni
    edited July 2008
    The controls and general on screen interface have had some small tweaks, but those are the only big changes. There were of course some textures which were lowered in resolution to accomodate the Wii (generally not such a big loss since the Wii can only run at 720x480 pixels anyway, which is lower than Sam & Max PC's lowest resolution of 800x600 -- it's frequently hard to tell the difference between the Wii version and watching the commentary track cutscene reels from the Season One DVD), and the Wii version supports widescreen, which looks very nice on a widescreen TV!

    The core puzzles and gameplay and presentation of the games themselves are unchanged, though.

    Sounds great! I already own Season One on PC but I will buy it again for Wii if it will help your team make the decision to put Season Two on the Wii, too.

    I'm pretty sure they're already going to. How can they not!
    Hopefully it won't be much longer after Season One.... maybe before christmas if I'm lucky :p

    Yeah I'm just worried that if it's not a success on the Wii, they might not think it's worth it to port it and pay Nintendo their cut, when it's easier and cheaper to put it out on PC and have people download it.
    The Wii is perfect for adventure games. It's fun, point-and-click from your couch. I love Zack and Wiki and I hope to see more games like that. Almost any adventure game would work on the Wii.

    Do you think Telltale will sell the Wii game from their shop? The only place I can find it right now is amazon.

    In the UK official nintendo magazine it got 85%. Pretty good, but I won't be getting it.

    Aw. Oh well, I guess Sam and Max doesn't appeal to Brits, as much as it does to Americans. No prob.

    Why do you say this? 85% is a very respectable score...

    No it isn't! That's what they said about 8.9, but we all know that's bullcrap! You've been robbed, dammit! Robbed!
    EDIT: Oh, wait. It was 8.8. Don't know why I keep making that mistake.

    I remember that comic, it can be applied to almost any game.

    85% is a good score considering the first episode of the game is almost 2 years old already!

    50% is average. So it should stand to reason anything above 50% would mean good.
    I don't think journalists handing out 90% and 100% scores to every other big budget game that comes out really helps though.

    Game Trailer's gave it a 9.3?! *starts cursing wildly*

    Hopefully the Reviewer which gave the game this rating will shut down the "Bad Vibes" from this review, *Silent nod*, and embrace the brotherhood of the season!

    Either that, or we turn him into Jello.

    /end of episode 201 refrences.

    That's not a bad score at all, besides it all the reviewer's personal taste anyway. I mean, I'm sure everyone out there loves at least one game that got a poor score and probably even hates a game or two that got a great one. I know I have.
