North American WiiWare date set for August 11 - Euro release to follow shortly after.
Telltale Inc. has announced Homestar Ruiner, the first of five monthly Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People episodes, is to be released on August 11. The game will be available on Nintendo's WiiWare service across America and worldwide on PC. WiiWare availability for Europe, Australia and New Zealand will follow shortly after.
In the Season 1 premiere Strong Bad's plans to beat the snot out of his rival Homestar Runner backfire, and he ends up with an unwanted houseguest cramping his style. Now he needs to get life back to normal, by any means possible.
"Homestar Ruiner is a great series premiere and kick-off for the season. The next five months will be filled with lots of surprises," said Telltale CEO Dan Connors. "This is how we always envisioned episodic gaming - monthly releases, straight into the living room. We're happy to be working with the Chapmans and Nintendo to make it a reality."
WiiWare episodes will be available for 1000 Wii Points, while PC gamers will be asked to pay $8.95. PC gamers will also be offered the full season for $34.95.
