It's only because I feel that special student/mentor/pieces-of-eight bonding that I'm going to these lengths 13 Mar, 2010 / Comments: 8

Monkey Island 2: Special Edition is now announced, packed-in with promised "developer commentary". People have been wondering: who, exactly, will provide the "developer commentary"? Someone called xgfx told us about a MI2:SE preview (Gamespot video, YouTube video), which includes an interview with SE leader Craig Derrick. While there's no footage of the game in action, Derrick does clarify that it is the original designers who are providing the commentary. Might this photo supply some basis for the next round of rumors?

(Note to any rabid Monkey fanboys/girls, especially those in Europe and/or Germany: that photo does not mean a new full-length Monkey game is in the works.)

    My frothing demand for this game increases.

    My assumption is that it is this feature that will make the MI2SE worth buying!

    Even more worth buying, that is.

    Didn't they say Ron Gilbert and Tim Schafer were doing the commentary?

    "I also think we owe the fans a bit of closure around the "secret" and hope that we have the opportunity to reveal it in a perhaps unexpected way soon" quote from Craig Derrick comes to mind =p

    I doubt any "secret of Monkey Island" will be revealed, but hey. Monkey Island 5 came out in the end, etc.

    Shortly after the launch, the Facebook page said:

    "Monkey Island 3a: the secret revealed or your money back" and some ending like "err... how did this get here".

    That's been removed now... Who knows :)

    Haha, it's probably just a prank. Really, don't put much stock into it - that way you can be plesantly surprised. You also avoid disappointment, if it turns out to be just a smoke without a fire.
