I'll probably get this

I love strongbad but doubt I will dump 5 dollars each month for this.

Why not make one big game and release it for like 10 bucks? Dont milk the game like that.

Awesome! I've been a big Homestar Runner fan for a while now. This the sort of indie content I want from WiiWare.

This is VERY good news for the WiiWare service!

Man this game looks awesome and the vid is so funny. When I first heard this I wasn't so hot on it, but once I heard Telltale Games was taking the lead I was all over it. The vid looks as if it really catches the theme of the show, awesome.

Though I do agree with you Jaxathon, I'm not too hot on paying for the next one per month, but I admit that I'll buy it anyway. I'm a big fan.

I'm definitely going to get this!!! I love Homestar Runner and Strong Bad so as soon as I saw this, I almost got a heart attack (metaphorically). I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH IT'LL COST!!!!!

Being a cheap game, this'll be the deciding factor if I want to buy or rent point-and-click-em-ups.

"Why not make one big game and release it for like 10 bucks? Dont milk the game like that."

While I do like my games cheaper than cheap, if the entire content costs $25, I don't mind getting the chance to "rent" $5 worth and see if I like it before shelling out the other $20.

""Why not make one big game and release it for like 10 bucks? Dont milk the game like that."

Hush. What's good enough for Sam & Max is good enough for Homestar Runner. It's not any different than paying a small price per episode of television show episodes on iTunes. Only more interactive and less non-interactive.

You make it sound like actually spending "gasp* MONEY on a service that's well worth the price is some sort of unspeakable abomination to mankind.

So seriously. Pipe down and just enjoy getting what you pay for. Because the old saying still runs true: "You get what you pay for."

Hey now, Karma, the game isn't out yet, and we don't know its content, let alone if it's "well worth the price." As far as we know, it could be head cancer. I'm not willing to pay $25 for head cancer--I probably wouldn't even pay $10 for it.

I'm definitely getting this, in fact im well excited about it, more so than i am about gta4 which im not even bothering to get on release tbh

I hope to get all of the episodes of this game and I hope there 500 Wii Points per peice so I can buy all of the episodes or even cheaper so I can get all of them! Looks dumb, but funny!

I can't wait!!

500 points an episode is a good price, as long as each episode is at least 2-3 hrs of content. The only problem is that there are 5 episodes...requiring another Wii Points card! Curses!! Foiled again!

hopefully it'll be cheap as free!

This will be the game to resurrect my wii from the dusty shelf below the tv and make it live again!!!!!!!!!

This game looks like it has a lot of promise. I do want to know how much control the Chapman bros have over this. SInce I noticed that the characters' voices sound a little off... I know this was supposed to be a parody of infomercials where everyone has a "fake" sounding voice. However, the actual gameplay video (where SB and Homestar are on the track) also has those kinda funky voices.

Telltale Games are doing phenomenal work with the episodal Sam & Max series. The laughs are more frequent and hard than most TV sitcoms. The Homestar Runner franchise could not be in safer hands.

"I do want to know how much control the Chapman bros have over this"
By all accounts, they are very involved. It was the same case with Sam & Max creator Steve Purcell, and before that, Jeff Smith for Telltale's game adaptations of the "Bone" graphic novels.

This whole project is a dream come true for me. Definitely my most anticipated WiiWare title.

@Posion
maybe using a different audio format to fit on Wii?

@PoisonRamune

All the voices in every Homestar Runner cartoon/short/whatever are done by Matt Chapman (except for Powered by The Cheat -animations, which are voiced by Mike, and obviously Marzipan, who is voiced by Missy Palmer). So is the case with this game. They even said in an interview that they prefer to record at home (where they do all their voice work for the website) instead of a recording studio.

I'm really looking forward to this WiiWare title - assuming it even gets released in EU. If it doesn' become available for PAL Wiis, then I'll get the PC version.

I will buy the first game and IF it's good for the price I will buy the other 4 too. It better be good tho and I hope it's only 500 points per game.

A game ending in October?Lets hope it's 500 points.

100% gonna get this, hope it's not 1000 points though...

I looked at this on gametrailers. Not impressed at all:(
Maybe I don't get the humor.

i'll get the first episode and continue with the episodes if it's good.

Like most of the previous poster I'll get the first episode and look if it's good. Well, I think it will be a good game

Getting it no matter what.

@juhok Two weeks late.

While I understand that... It sounds like the voices went through another evolution (watch an old Tandy clone era sbemail and then watch a lappy video right after, SB's voice very different).

While being a consistant fan of HSR since the techno email... I am going to get this game.

I'm glad this got delayed. They'll make it even better and I'll have to time to finish all my current wiiware (just got toki tori and LostWinds) so I can DELETE SOMETHING. Thats right, I am now outta space. Wii, indeed.

This game was recently rated by the ESRB as T. It was in the new trailer

Mazero:
'This game was recently rated by the ESRB as T. It was in the new trailer'

And, it' s just been rated 12+ by the PEGI. If you go to www.pegi.info and search 'Homestar', it'll come up with the rating for Homestar Ruiner - 12+

Saving up for this. I've been a long-time h*r fan and I'd love to see them hit WiiWare. Next game I'm getting!

Okay, so Penny Arcade has a game, now Homestar Runner has a game? Okay, now the next Internet guys to get a game should be VG Cats! Those guys are awesome! It would be like a combination of Penny Arcades and Homestar Runners, only it would have settings that would spoof other games and movies, and it would have those context-sensitive button actions like Conker did. It would be Awesome!! Awesome!!!

so there is going to be more than 1 episode?

Yes, 5 episodes.

5 Episodes? How Much will all that cost?

Why? Were you thinking of more? or less?

When you think about it it's supposed to be like like an interactive show like Sam & Max. I think it's pretty cool how they did that, If you don't like one part you just don't buy that part.

This is coming out on PC, right? I hope it does, then I can try a demo like in the Penny Arcade game(Sam & Max would be a better comparison, but I never played that game), hopefully for individual episodes, so then I can pick and choose episodes like how NNoah95 said.

Over9000: 5 Episodes? How Much will all that cost?

Expected to be around 1000 points for each episode. For all 5 episodes, that's £35 in Blighty money or $50 in across-the-pond money.

NOTE: Pricing was written in UK view

P.S. It sounds much, but in actual fact that's cheap for something that lasts a whopping 10 hours...

I heard this may be coming out on Monday the 14th in the US!! I hope that's true.

I thought MLE was coming out the 14th? I might be wrong though.

im have a 50/50 chance of getting this im not sure

I will get this. Being episodic, I hope its 500 per episode, but it'll probably cost-be worth more in the long run. I have a feeling it'll take up a lotta blocks with all the voice work.
