Nintendo just name-dropped us in a press release. I feel like we've hit the big time.

And before you ask -- no, it's not Sam & Max.

More details about Nintendo's announcement here and here.

	Comment by Telltalefan February 20, 2008, 8:09 am

	Ah well, maybe some other point in the future then?

	I feel like I've been saying this way too much lately, and you're probably starting to get scared by now, but whatta heck... I love you guys!
	Comment by fajerkaos February 20, 2008, 8:54 am

	Now I really have to work hard and get Wii Online, since it is have to be easier than trying to get PC-version to work in Linux.

	Congratulations!
	Comment by zanotoole2000 February 20, 2008, 10:17 am

	Wow! I suppose the series won't be available on PC too. I guess you've probably designed it with the WII controls in mind....

	OH MY GOD IS IT A NEW MONKEY ISLAND GAME?!?!?
	Comment by mikew February 20, 2008, 10:42 am

	Der Stylish Adventures du Jurgen. Or that old time fave, Mam and Sax.

	OH MY GOD IS IT A NEW MONKEY ISLAND GAME?!?!? In my defense, I stopped speculating on that as soon as the licensing thing was explained to me. Any further remarks on the subject were purely humorous in intent. Way to go, Telltale!

	Awesome. :D

	Time to buy a wii
	Comment by Hero1 February 20, 2008, 2:01 pm

	Great news! @Telltalefan Sam & Max Season 1 for Wii appeared on some European retail lists a while ago as far as I know. It seems to be coming, just not via WiiWare.
	Comment by wsippel February 20, 2008, 2:22 pm

	frame>> Yey! Just bought a Wii this week, great news! I lost my Wii five months ago :(
	Comment by jannar85 February 20, 2008, 3:00 pm

	This makes me happy. I like being happy.
	Comment by TrogLlama February 20, 2008, 3:56 pm

	Let me guess... Bone?
	Comment by Trixie February 20, 2008, 5:17 pm

	"New" episodic series, ya pessimist. :P
	Comment by Kedri February 20, 2008, 5:23 pm

	I hope those of us not in the US can get our hands on this new game. I'd so get a Wii just to play this.
	Comment by Rasher February 21, 2008, 1:27 am

	Hey, years ago, I bought both first Bone episodes. Great works. Would be nice to see the series coming to a happy end, don't you agree?
	Comment by monkeyboobs February 21, 2008, 3:28 am

	I really hope it's Bone. I'd like to get that for my son, but we don't have a pc.
	Comment by glorkian warrior February 21, 2008, 4:52 am

	Could it be... something based on a Nintendo franchise? [/conspiracy-theorist]
	Comment by Giglio February 21, 2008, 5:36 am

	Yay, must stock up on Wii points!!
	Comment by evilguy12 February 21, 2008, 6:06 am

	D= It's not Sam & Max? Aww.. I'm guessing it's a new project. Can't wait. =)
	Comment by Cain February 21, 2008, 6:58 am

	I'll ask and not wait for an answer but, what is this new series?
	Comment by Opa-Opa February 21, 2008, 3:40 pm

	Awww... I was just about to tell you what the new series was, but you didn't wait for an answer... oh well.
	Comment by MarkDarin February 21, 2008, 5:05 pm

	You know, you guys could easily get away with making a crazy demand like 'We will only reveal what the new series is if one hundred different people make YouTube videos of themselves repeatedly punching themselves in the face and screaming continuously for at least two minutes.' And then making a music video out of the results.

	runs off to go buy a camera
	Comment by delimew February 21, 2008, 9:16 pm

	I REALLY hope Sam and Max season 1 (and 2) will appear on Wii via normal disc retail! I bought it on PC, and will buy it on Wii too!
	Comment by Espen February 22, 2008, 2:55 am

	Well there is an advert on tv for oracular excises ............
	Comment by Jamie February 22, 2008, 1:18 pm

	That's the second biggest press release I've ever seen..
	Comment by twat February 23, 2008, 5:14 pm

	...Well, I can forgive nintendo for not making Sam and Max the first release for telltale games on the Wii... as long as Sam and Max is the second!
	Comment by hunggokyan February 24, 2008, 8:21 am

	Actually, CSI: Hard Evidence was our first Wii release (available now!).
	Comment by Emily February 24, 2008, 9:47 am

	Mam and Sax?
