WiiWare announcements that I care about (so you should too!)

Incidentally both thanks to Telltale Games, WiiWare will be getting a couple of gems.

First off, Sam & Max Season One. An evolution of a couple characters from Steve Purcell's comics in the late 80's and made more famous by the original Lucas Arts point and click adventure game Sam & Max: Hit the Road. Season One, a continuation of the series, has been out for a few months on PC and (for the most part) is exceptional. It's Episodic, so you'll get a number of short adventures released over the span of months.

Secondly, Strong Bad (of http://www.homestarrunner.com fame) is getting his own game titled "Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People." I expect more than a few of you are familiar with the Homestar Runner website and either love it or hate it. It is one of my favorite websites, and I visit it each Monday for the (usually) regular updates. This is also planned to be released in episodes (currently 5 with room for more).

Oh nice, im REALLY pumped about Sam and Max. I almost paid money for gametap just to play those.

Yeah, WiiWare's looking like it won't suck after all.

I'm still kind of fed up with the lack of external hard drive support though. I want some DLC!
