Sam & Max, the collection of the first six episodes, will introduce a brand new audience to the popular game series and is expected to hit for the Nintendo Wii this fall.
The series' story-driven gameplay and episodic structure has often been favorably compared to TV sitcoms – misus the laugh track and annoying new child. The new Wii version will present Sam & Max in a format that can be enjoyed from the comfort of the living room, either alone or with a group of friends—a setting perfectly suited for this kind of experience. The game's easy-to-use interface is ideal for a broad consumer audience.
Sam & Max Season One for the Nintendo Wii will be published by Dreamcatcher/The Adventure Company in North America, and by JoWooD in Europe. In addition to English language, the game will be fully localized in French and German, and subtitled in Italian and Spanish. All versions are expected to ship during the fall 2008 season.
