SBCG4AP had a bunch of interesting features, some of which might be interesting for Sam & Max. Which do you think would be a good idea to add? As for my own views:

Cartoon shading
A lot of people have been asking for this, but I think it would be a step back. Purcells art is more advanced than that, and better captured by what we have.

Map
Very yes.

Icon-based dialog system
I'm not sure. I guess it worked out fine for Hit the Road and SBCG4AP, but sometimes the Sam & Max lines had me laughing before even clicking them.

Trophies
Too meta to be appropriate.

Collectibles
Frankly, they pick up enough souvenirs already. The Desoto thing was nice, but did get a bit out of hand.

Costume items
Out of character. Plus, where are they going to put them?

Mini-games
I dunno, we've had good ones but getting formulaic about it could be bad.

Awesomeness rating
Meh.

Preview
That could be nice.

Extended Mode
Ditto.

Only four save slots.
I'm going to assume this was because of Wii limitations. Otherwise: what were you thinking?!
