Hero-of-Time Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 Taken from Gonintendo Okay, stay with me on this one. JoWood put out a press release for Agatha Christie: And Then There Were None. Hidden within that press release is snippet on JoWood’s other projects. You can see the important excerpt below. "One of the next projects: Sam & Max. The Adventure of the year, as chosen by the readers of the German ‘PC Games’ (2/2008 issue), Sam & Max will soon be hunting criminals on the Nintendo Wii.†The problem is, this press release was originally only released in German, and I haven’t been able to find it. Mark this rumor for now…but let’s hope a confirmation pops up later today. I know its been talked about for a while now, interesting if true.
jammy2211 Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 Would be awesome, but I hope it isn't one of them season things they keep releasing on the PC. Should be a completely new game, sequel to Sam & Max Hit the Road.
Hero-of-Time Posted January 12, 2008 Author Posted January 12, 2008 Would be awesome, but I hope it isn't one of them season things they keep releasing on the PC. Should be a completely new game, sequel to Sam & Max Hit the Road. I would imagine that it would be a full game, unless they decide to release it via Wiiware with downloadable chapters.
gaggle64 Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 I generally very interesting in seeing point and clicks come to consoles. I'd love it if they put the original on VC.
Tales Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 Downloaded my first episode today actually and I love it. The jokes are hilarious. Would be great if they made a new game for Wii.
Tellyn Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 I'm glad I didn't email Telltale Games earlier this week, I can add a new question.
Gizmo Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 It takes something quite special to have "Rumour" and "Confirmed" in the same topic title.
Guest Maase Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 I Was thinking exactly the same, Gizmo xD I hope they make another game, i have every episode of Sam and Max in my computer
Helmsly Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 I recently played Episode 4 and I was thinking all through it that it would be perfect for Wii Do you think they'll be all new episodes or ports of the episodes released on PC already?
RossK Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 i think they should compilE all these "bits" together into a wii game , i think it would be great i liked sam and max
Tales Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Gizmo: The rumour is that the game is confirmed. It's a rumour because this "confirmation" of the game can't be proven to be 100% correct yet. It's not that hard to understand unless you're looking for something quarrel about. Here's the original press release where Sam and Max is apperantly confirmed: JoWooD plant weitere seiner erfolgreichen Lizenzen aus dem Adventure Games für Nintendo® Wii™ zu adaptieren. Eines der nächsten Projekte: Sam & Max. Als Adventure des Jahres, gewählt von den Lesern des deutschen Computerspielmagazins „PC Games“ (zu finden in der aktuellen Printausgabe 2/2008), gehen Sam & Max bald auch bei Nintendo® Wii™ auf Verbrecherjagd
dazzybee Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 It's 100% confirmed, the press release has been released. Sam and Max is definitely coming to the Wii!!!!!

It's not that hard to understand unless you're looking for something quarrel about. Here's the original press release where Sam and Max is apperantly confirmed: Yeah I know. I'm just saying, its an awesome thread title.
Hero-of-Time Posted January 13, 2008 Author Posted January 13, 2008 It's 100% confirmed, the press release has been released. Sam and Max is definitely coming to the Wii!!!!! Good stuff! I will change the title now
Tales Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Yeah I know. I'm just saying, its an awesome thread title. Sorry I misunderstood. I hope this is an entirely new game. I just bought all the computer games yesterday and I know already that I won't be playing through them twice no matter how good they are.
Tellyn Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 God I love Sam & Max. If anyone has any questions for Telltale Games, look at the N-Europe Interviews sticky.
That Guy Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Brilliant, I liked playing the old Sam & Max although I was only young when it was out so never really played it properly. Looking forward to this, and yeah I also hope the original gets a VC release.
Hellfire Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 http://n-europe.com/news.php?nid=11394 Update:Telltale Games couldn't confirm the veracity of these news. Shacknews contacted a company representative and they had this to say: "While it's no secret that we want to bring Sam & Max to the Wii--and it is something we're actively pursuing--we don't have any official news right now. When we're in a position to confirm that we'll be porting Sam & Max to the Wii, we'll make an announcement about it." So, they don't deny it, but it isn't officially confirmed either, keep up with N-E as we'll have a little chat with Telltale Games soon. Taken from here: http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/50723
ShadowV7 Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Talk about a let down. I'll remain hopefull for a game announced properly in the coming months...
Hellfire Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Bah, it was just a Port :| Ports of awesome games that fit incredibely well are not bad things. Specially with the tendency to do bad spin offs.
ShadowV7 Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 A port of this could of been decent and not as if it owuld of been rushed out or anything. This a game loads of people want to see on the Wii.
Hero-of-Time Posted April 4, 2008 Author Posted April 4, 2008 Awesome news! Telltale Games is hoping to stoke the Sam and Max resurgence even further. Today, the developer confirmed for GameSpot long-standing rumors that it would be bringing its episodic series to consoles, and specifically to the Nintendo Wii. The canine-lagomorph combo’s debut on Nintendo’s console will come in the form of a port of the PC first-season compilation, from pilot episode “Culture Shock†through to “Bright Side of the Moon.†Telltale representatives said the game’s release on the Wii is due in large part to fan demand, in particular an e-mail campaign launched prior to the debut of the Sam & Max episodic series on the PC. Rumors and speculation of a Wii port helped spark publisher interest in bringing the series to Nintendo’s platform.
Tellyn Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Yay! I love Telltale Games, we have something planned with them over the next month. Plus they actually told me this in January.
