Sam & Max Coming to Wii this Fall

Sam & Max, a popular PC point and click adventure game will be coming to the Wii this fall. The series is known for its unique brand of humor and is one of the few remaining, and popular, point and click adventure games. The title is usually released online through Gametap in episodic form, much like how the new Penny Arcade game will be. The Wii version is going to be a collection of every episode from Season 1.

Zack and Wiki is the only adventure game I have played on Wii and I have to say that the point and click style of the gameplay translated very well. I was hoping they would bring similar games over to the Wii and now it looks like they are. Sam and Max is a series I have especially been looking forward to as a lot of the designers of the series have previously worked on the Lucasarts adventure games like Full Throttle and Day of the Tentacle. The creators of Sam and Max are also going to be releasing episodic content for a new series on Wii Ware. Horray for 3rd part support on Wii!
