Strong Bad Episode 1 Hits the WiiWare Shop

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the no-lightswitch-raves dept.

Nintendo has added a new title to their WiiWare shop, Strong Bad Episode 1: Homestar Ruiner from developer Telltale Games. The new title features the infamous boxing-glove-adorned character in the first of five installments of Telltale's "Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People." "The point-and-click adventure game stars Strong Bad, the lucha libre mask-wearing character from web cartoon series Homestar Runner. Players can create 'Teen Girl Squad' comics, play a retro-styled minigame titled Snake Boxer 5, and send pictures and messages to their friends through the Wii's message board system." In addition to the new title, two classic titles have also been added for virtual console, Break In, and Star Parodier.

    I was going to ask the same question about Marzipan and Homestar, except the question was "how do they type without them"?

    They're not boxing gloves, they're his hands. How many times do we have to cover this?

    Did you miss this part underneath the title?

    I think that answers that question.

    Did anyone catch that typo?

    Clearly, the person writing the article is typing with boxing gloves on.

      No typo, my friend, it's the name of the game. I believe that would be a pun.
