The Strong Bad video above is older than the internet, but it never fails to kill me every time I queue it up. Of course, there have been tons of awesome Strong Bad videos since then, but I have to be honest and say I never saw a videogame coming. Leave it to Telltale, creators of the eternally awesome Sam and Max series, to take on a game version of the beloved Strong Bad.
 
The game is called Strong Bad’s Cool Game For Attractive People, which ought to give you a good idea of the tone — this is going to freaking rule.The games will be episodic and will launch for Wiiware/PC this June, in a format of five episodes per "season." Release dates and pricing haven’t been announced yet, but they’ll be along shortly. Telltale are working closely with Matt and Mike Chapman, the creators of the original cartoon, to ensure the game honors the look and feel of Strong Bad (not to mention that blazing wit that makes him so irresistible.)
 
The game allows you to play the role of Strong Bad, participating in what Telltale describes as "extended cartoons."  You’ll solve dialogue-based puzzles, interact with familiar faces and use items, but the game also offers tons of mini-games in each episode to keep you busy. There’s no mention of Trogdor yet, but I can only hope for the option to burninate something (preferably a town.)
 
The official site will be up sometime today, so keep an eye on it for screenshots and more. In the meantime, check out the full press release after the jump.
