Telltale to fans: Harass Nintendo! 14 Sep, 2006 / Comments: 8


Update: Telltale's updated their blog with the note "They took notice! We got a phone call from Nintendo this afternoon. We'll take it from here - please don't email them anymore!" Woo!

Telltale's latest blog takes some time to comment on Sam & Max's potential on the Wii. Why summarize when I can just copy and paste what Emily wrote?
We'd love to bring Sam & Max to the Wii. We already think it's a good fit (as evidenced by Dan's comment at PAX). In fact, Heather brought up way back in January how great the Wii controller would be for an adventure game (of course, back then it was called the Revolution... what kind of a dumb name is that?), and we're great fans of Adventure Gamers' recent article on the subject. Thing is, us thinking it's a great idea isn't enough. We need the guys at Nintendo to agree. And with a company as big as Nintendo, getting noticed by the right people can be tricky.

If you want to keep emailing us about how great Sam & Max would be on the Wii, please do. It's great to see how many people are interested in this sort of thing (and we know that for every mail we get, there are a bunch more of you out there who didn't write). But it would be even better if you'd contact Nintendo and tell them what a great idea it is. Maybe if enough fans write in, they'll take notice?
You heard her! Write your first e-mail in years that doesn't include "Eat me, LucasArts!" and do some good for the world.

    It's so great that they got a call. We're 3-0 with these abusive online assaults. Personally, I think it's time for LucasArts to revisit their Metal Warriors franchise, so start shooting some emails their way. I give them 48 hours before they crack.

    Count on me, i'll see what I can do to contact the right people in Nintendo. They need to know they would be making a mistake if they didn't reopen the Sam & Max francise.

    Oh yeah, and LucasArts launched their Thrillville page. Yeah.

    Apparenlty it's "way better than eating pizza on some island with a bunch of cheerleaders."

    Is the special prize a charming personality?
