by Ross Miller on Apr 10th 2008 10:50AM

Telltale Games has revealed that the "new WiiWare episode series" hinted at during GDC08 will be Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive people, based on the character from Homestar Runner. The series will be a five-episode season with installments promised monthly on Nintendo's download service as well as the PC. The first episode is due out in June; further release date and pricing details are promised later, according to the press release.

If you need a refresher on Strong Bad, we'd appriciate (yes, you read that right) it if you checked out the "sbemail" archives. More details, assets and an official trailer are expected later today.

Update: Check out this April 1 video from Homestar Runner that might've hinted at this announcement.

Update: Website and trailers launch.

'eh...this game seems like it's about 3 years too late...

I agree. I used to love HSR, but it seems like this is coming a bit too late

Hey, funny things are eternal. I'm still waiting for Seinfeld Dating Sim.

Finally, a game aimed squarely at my specific demographic... Attractive people who enjoy cool games about crazy internet cartoons.

Very similar to my demographic as well:

Attractive People who Enjoy.

I still enjoy Homestar Runner. I welcome this!

There's a blast from the past.

So now we know... WiiWare is a home for flash games.

And Joystiq comment boards are a house for twits.

I know you are, but what am I?

Oh snap. I... I really can't compete with such a clever individual. I concede to your incredible wit.

I think the only way to respond to this is; TROGDOOOOOOOR!!! TROGDOOOOOOR!!!

Yeah, well if it gives us something to do on the wii, bring it on! I still enjoy Strongbad, though I don't keep up on it as much.

Ugh. Can we please stop with the punned run-on inane titles? What Borat did was funny at the time, but man are they are old now and no longer funny. I feel like I waste my time reading that crap.

"Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People"

"Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan "

"Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters"

"I am America and So Can You" Stephen Colbert

Even Penny Arcade is bordering on the frivolous side with a worthless title that somehow conveys the pretentiousness of wanting to try and sound important.
"On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness"

Why must people manifest themselves on stupid shit like this? Do you get all uppity every time a game or movie uses one of the HUNDREDS of cliche's? Like the totally epic overdone title? Or the one with the pointless subtitle? Its a joke and meant to be funny. Just get a chuckle out of it and move on. Theres really no need to dwell on this stuff...

I agree. We should stop using the name "Matt" as well.

It's just soooo 1997 Geocities!

I think the Strong Bad game is the odd man out of those titles. It's not unnecessarily long, it just describes what the game is. It's no longer as a title than, say, "Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2" or "Puzzle Quest Challenge of the Warlords: Revenge of the Plague Lord".

The other ones, yeah, they're being unnecessarily weird or pretentious (or both). In the end, though, it'll all boil down to "the Strong Bad game". just like the others boil down to "Vegas 2" and "the Puzzle Quest expansion".

@Kewlrats; Oh-snap

@Matt: You should find something worth complaining about if you absolutely have to complain. It just seems a bit much to deserve a full on rant IMO. It's like complaining about how the sky's blue again, and damn it, blue is SO yesterday. And the day before.

*Flagrant System Error*

Last virus scan was never ago...

COMPUTER OVER
VIRUS=VERY YES

Awesome. I can't wait. I hope it's as good as Peasant's Quest.

This seems relevant:

Not Rick, although I do love that song.

I'm a big Homestar fan but I would just feel weird paying for their content. We'll see what the game is like before I make judgments though.

From the press release:

"...and the games are fully voice acted by Matt Chapman and the rest of the original cast. "

The rest of the original cast? You mean Missy? And sometimes Mike Chapman? That's about all there is.

If it's funny, I'll bite. I like funny things.

No you don't. We all know you're a sour person who gets angry when he laughs. The fact you keep your kitty as a homeless box cat is proof. That is kitty's punishment for making you laugh.

Why you always gotta make Tez cry, LT? :(

Fun, easy, profitable. :)

I believe the proper response is "hell yes."

I can't imagine how anyone could dislike HsR.

Freakin' Sellout.

Will I be able to get ye flask?

You can't get ye flask.

It's just a shame that Fernando won't be able to play.

Just joking... real-life Mario mustaches are actually attractive.

*cough* http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2008/04/real-mario-omg-creepy-490.jpg *cough*

We've all got to get inspiration from somewhere, right?

I'll wait for the Lappy 486 port myself.

Dear Strong Bad,

How can you play your game with boxing gloves on?

Crapfully yours,
Zak Canard

I was wondering if people were still into HSR. I had a good time checking out the e-mail archives this morning.

My brother and I love Home Star Runner. I think he still goes there.
