Published by Ian Klein January 28th, 2007 in Nintendo, Wii.
It started as just a pipe dream, but it appears that we’re one step closer to seeing Sam And Max title on Wii. It was back in September when we reportedabout a grassroots campaign for Tellgame Games to get the beloved title onto Nintendo’s new console..
Has it worked? There’s no out-and-out confirmation, but the Telltale website is now hiring a Wii Systems Programmer. Hmmm…

Please, please, PLEASE! Release these games on the Wii. I’m not signing up to a monthly subscription service to get Sam and Max, but I’ll plop down $50 on the game!
The original Sam and Max Hit the Road was one of my favorites, and I still quote them occasionally (not that anyone gets it when I do).
