Telltale Games

Will they be for the PC?

**Jake** · 04/06/2008, 10:53 am

Platforms, details about the episodes, series length, and stuff will be announced along with the series themselves.

We've already announced that one of them is a wiiware series, so... obviously there is no configuration in which the two new series are only on PC.

jp-30 · 04/06/2008, 02:21 pm

Is Wiiware only available in the USA at launch?

Have there been any global rollout estimates yet?

Edit: Never mind (wikipedia); "The first WiiWare games were officially launched on March 25, 2008 in Japan. WiiWare games will be available in the U.S. on May 12, 2008. A Wii Shop Channel update from 20 March 2008 also suggested that WiiWare games would also launch in PAL regions in May of that year."

Still wonder if Aus & NZ will lag behind northern hemisphere PAL regions.

Isn't that pretty much guaranteed?

I mean, we lag behind for pretty much /all/ media releases. Sometimes we're lucky enough to get movie or book releases the same day as other countries, but we're /always/ behind when it comes to games, dvds, tv shows...

jp-30 · 04/06/2008, 06:40 pm

Our TV stations have wised up to bittorrents, and so we get the Daily Show screening here before it airs in some places in the US. Plus Lost & Survivor within a week of the US dates.

Movies here seem to stick to global release days - at least the blockbusters. And I can't think of many CDs that are released more than a week different to the USA.

But yeah, games and technology rollouts are often a different matter.

You lucky ba*ds! When The Daily Show was on SBS here (it isn't any more), we only got the "Global Edition" which is where they take the four shows of the US Daily Show and compress four half hours into one, cutting out a lot of good stuff. It's so much easier to just get the real show by.... other means.

Australia doesn't have anything quite close to the Daily show when it comes to political satire or news parody. Chaser's could have got close, but they spent too much time on pranks and silly songs, and Newstopia is just silly fullstop (it has its good moments, I'll grant you).

Some TV shows are supposedly "beamed directly from the US satellite!" nowadays, but it still doesn't explain why a satellite beam takes a week and a half...

Hahah.
That was funny.

TrogLlama · 04/08/2008, 06:32 pm

I've got it- Team Rocket: The Point and Click Adventure.
The last episode can be the one where Ash just decides that he's tired of being stalked by a bunch of twentysomethings and their talking cat and just gives them the Pikachu.

We're loosing altitude... eject, eject!

I actually wouldn't be all that surprised if Telltale was working on a Nintendo IP. I don't expect it, but I wouldn't be shocked, either. Nintendo explicitely mentioned Telltale in their WiiWare press release (granted, they also mentioned Frontier and Square-Enix), and the series will be revealed at the Nintendo Media Summit. According to Capcom, that event focusses on Nintendo developed/ published games.

Is today the day of the Nintendo Media Summit, or am I imagining things again?
