ScummVM Ported to Nintendo Gamecube/Wii

Posted by Zonk on from the enjoy-your-game-homebrew-scumm dept.

Croakyvoice writes "Rodolfo Portillo has released a port of ScummVM for the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo Gamecube. ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games like Simon the Sorcerer, Broken Sword and Flight of the Amazon Queen. You will have to use SD Load to run this on your console." No offense to Broken Sword, but it's all about Day of the Tentacle for me. Update: 04/10 16:45 GMT by Z : Technically, this is a GameCube port. The Wii's backwards compatibility allows it to work there anyway, but it's worth clarifying.

    Indeed! I would think that Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island, and Sam and Max Hit the Road would be all that people need to jump at this!

    Sam and Max would be a big magnet for this now that the duo is back in the forefront of gaming thanks to TellTale Games. Those who were not around to experience the original game that started it all can go back and play what we've been talking about for over a decade!

    How about you bring ScummVM to the Virtual Console line-up? I know its not really a console, but there's no denying that there's a *ton* of popular games just waiting to be revisited, and you've got the perfect input device to do so.
