Slightly later than initially planned, the adventures of the detective dog and his mildly psychotic rabbit friend will be reaching Wii owners across the US from October 7th and Europeans a couple of weeks later, arriving on the 24th.

There’s no price info for the PAL release as yet, though expect it to be cheaper than your average release, as the American version will cost a mere $29.99 - fairly bargainous for the six-episode set.

I played the first few episodes on PC - if you’ve played either Strong Bad game the mechanics will be familiar, but the humour is a little less ‘out there’, and so it should be more accessible to most. The question of whether these games will spark a point-and-click revival remains to be seen - let’s hope decent sales lead to a spate of old-school adventure games on the console, whose remote is the perfect mouse replacement - for this genre at least.
