Nevertheless it will be an adventure game. And as Telltale has proven that they can make good adventures with good laughs I think there is a possibility that it will find its audience. So if there aren't just E-Mail sequences but normal adventuring, inventory riddles and funny talks there should be enough to keep a player on the WiiMote. Big thing will be the price. A Season of Sam and Max costs about 35$ and with five episodes thats probably the idea... on the PC! Because I do not know what costs WiiWare will tend to have as Nintendo has to get paid too. If an episode is about 5 to 7 dollars it could work but nothing further. You are right that StrongBad is nothing for a big crowd.

I think it's nerd stuff, only very few people will buy and I can't even think of enough people liking it. Although I like some of the StrongBad episodes, I will definitely not play the game.
