WiiWare Sales of Strong Bad’s
Cool Game for Attractive People Double with New Wii Storage Solution

Telltale CEO: "This is a major
step forward for episodic gaming."

Telltale has announced that WiiWare™
sales of Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People, the first monthly
episodic series on a console, have more than doubled since Nintendo’s new
storage solution was unveiled at the Game Developer’s Conference in March. The
Strong Bad series began releasing episodically on WiiWare in August 2008.

"Nintendo’s new solution really
opens the door for players to add to their collection of downloadable games,
which is critical for a series with multiple installments," says Telltale CEO
Dan Connors. "This is a major step forward for episodic gaming. We’re looking
forward to even greater success on WiiWare with Strong Bad, as well as other
projects."

Like a TV series, Strong Bad’s Cool
Game for Attractive People is best enjoyed when the full five episode "season"
is played in its entirety. Nintendo’s new option to play WiiWare games directly
from high-density SD cards gives customers a convenient way to enjoy this
full-season experience.

Starring Strong Bad, the
self-proclaimed "coolest person ever," and the rest of the characters from the
popular Homestarrunner.com website, Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People
is a series of comedy games that play like interactive cartoons. Each episode
features a unique storyline penned by series creators Mike and Matt Chapman and
the writers of Telltale’s award-winning Sam & Max series. Arcade-style mini
games, achievements, and the ability to email Wii™ friends from Strong Bad’s
laptop complete the experience.

The Strong Bad games can be
downloaded from the Wii Shop Channel for 1,000 points each. For more information

expanding to Xbox LIVE® Arcade this spring with Wallace & Gromit’s Grand
Adventures.
