Sam & Max box art or pulpy dime store paperback? (Art not yet final, but close.)
News on the Sam & Max front has gone quiet recently as we buckle down on otherprojects, but today I bring good news from across the pond!
This morning at a swanky press event in London, Atari announced a new partnership with Telltale to bring Sam & Max Season Two to retail worldwide in 2009. And no, this isn't just for PC -- it'll be coming out for Wii as well! Plus this will be the first time foreign language versions of Season Two are available, with fully localized releases in French and German, as well as Italian and Spanish subtitles.
We don't have a ton more to say about this right now, but both Telltale and Atari are really excited about the partnership and the chance to get Sam & Max out to an even bigger audience.
In other news, has anyone in Europe spotted Sam & Max Season One for Wii in the shops yet? English, French, Spanish, and Italian versions should be shipping out as we speak. (German's coming in 2009!) If you happen to see the game on a store shelf, why not snap a picture on the fly and send it our way, hmm?
It's almost Thanksgiving here in the US, which means that the holiday season is right around the corner, and people are anticipating--eagerly or otherwise--spending many hours shopping for gifts for their loved (and liked) ones. To mark the beginning of the holiday season, we've put together a brand new gift store.
You might be aware that any of our downloadable games can be purchased as gifts for someone else. If you weren't, please re-read the preceding sentence. Apart from that, though, we've also put together a couple of new game/merchandise packages:
A Sam and Max Gift Bundle featuring both seasons of our Sam & Max games (that's 11 episodes) on extras-filled DVDs, topped off with a copy of Surfin' the Highway.
A Wii Game Gift Pack featuring the Wii versions of Sam & Max Season One and CSI: Hard Evidence. (Region alert: these are the North American versions and won't work in PAL Wii consoles.)
Bonus fact: We have also added the ability to gift-wrap the stuff you buy, (provided that it's not a downloadable episode). So, check out the new gift store, and enjoy the holidays!
Bonus bonus fact: We're also offering free USPS shipping for people who're buying a downloadable game along with physical merchandise! This offer's only good through Wednesday 12/3 though, so don't wait too long.
We just got word from Nintendo of Europe that Strong Bad Episode 3: Baddest of the Bands will be released on WiiWare in tomorrow's update. Yes, all you patient people across the pond, your wait is almost over!
If you haven't already, make sure to check out the Baddest of the Bands site to get yourself psyched up for the big event. And while you're playing, don't forget about the walkthrough, awesomeness guide, and "Did you try?" list, which can be found here.
No news yet on a release date for Dangeresque 3 in Europe, but when we know we'll pass the info along to you!
