I have a question for someone from TT (Or if anyone else know)
I've been a little confused with the millions and MILLIONS of Release date theories/conspiracys/lies/pranks and Im just wondering, is the 2nd reason for the delay (Cause we all know its firstly cause of Videlectrix) Nintendo or TTG's fault? Has the delay come from telltale fully refining the game? or is it because of Nintendo doing something to get it onto the wiiware system properly?

*raises paddle* 18th

Flaming Squriel King · 08/04/2008, 05:35 pm

11th again!

bigdondoo · 08/04/2008, 05:51 pm

I'm feeling melancholy watching the old giant release date thread slowly go lower and lower down the page... Oh, and I bid for the 25th. It makes sence that the game would come out the same week that school starts again for me.

The game is finished. It is in the final stages of submission. Telltale has repeatedly stated that it's not Nintendo's fault at all and everything's been working well.

Well I guess my question would be, is there even any point in asking about release dates?

According to gonintendo.com the answer is no. They obtained the following statement from NOA regarding today's 3 (promised by their respective companies) unreleased VC titles.

"A number of variables can affect a game’s release date. Therefore, the Wii-kly Update is the only authority for confirmed release dates of Virtual Console games." - Nintendo of America

I'm just going to assume this holds true to Wiiware titles as well, unless you guys can tell me otherwise.

Yeah, that's pretty much what telltale's been telling people for months now, but they insist on asking when the game would come out anyway

Freelance Poster · 08/04/2008, 07:09 pm

Still it makes me wonder if the good ol folks at Telltale are having to check the Wii-kly Update to see if their own game came out.

That actually isn't true, almost every single video game has a date attached to it as soon as a video for it is up on the Nintendo Channel. Since WiiWare is full new(ish) games and not remakes of old games, I would say that once a release date is set, they keep it. Just like for disc games.

The SBCG4AP video is the very first one to not have a release date in the catalog entry, out of every single Wii, DS, and WiiWare game to ever be featured in the Nintendo Channel Game Catalog (accessed through "Search by Category" under Find Titles for You at the top of the video list). Even Sam and Max Season 1 Wii has a release date listed, so you can't say they hate Telltale. It is just that they haven't settled on a date yet.

I will admit that the SBCG4AP video is the 6th ever WiiWare video to be featured before actual release, and the first ever since the official launch of WiiWare. But what I say still holds true.

I never said they hated Telltale :P I was just alluding that they might have control issues.

someguyfromazoo · 08/04/2008, 07:21 pm

Well, crap.There went my possible Thousandth post bragging rights.Immature pride aside,Locking a thread, then making another with the exact same premise doesn't make sense.Morons will eventually taint this thread with moronic, baseless speculation and suicidal tendancies.And bad spelling.

I have heard people claim Nintendo was out to get Telltale, that was for them not you. And Telltale will control sales of the game once Nintendo finishes the finalization process, if my understanding of this is correct.

No, we have these things called telephones, on which we call people. Also, we have this thing that's like mail, but it's completely electronic

We have better ways of finding out, in other words. Sadly, despite all these wonders of technology at our disposal, we don't have anything to report just yet. But soon!

The future of technology, or at least what people won't shut up about, is wireless. You know, things like walkmans, flashlights, and solar calculators.
