-	If you're not familiar with Strong Bad, the masked, shirtless, boxing-glove-wearing wrestler from [[Homestarrunner.com]], you'd better be soon. That's because his comedic point-and-click adventure game, Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People (SBCG4AP for short) is coming to WiiWare this summer from the folks at [[Telltale Games]]. As he'd be quick to tell you, Strong Bad is more or less the epitome of ~~awesomeness~~ (as evidenced by his fashion sense), and SBCG4AP is all about trying to "handle his [[style]]"{{--}}in other words, mouthing off to NPCs, [[Musical Moments\|randomly breaking into song]], and answering each [[Strong Bad Email\|email]] with the most bizarre responses imaginable.<br>	+	If you're not familiar with Strong Bad, the masked, shirtless, boxing-glove-wearing wrestler from [[Homestarrunner.com]], you'd better be soon.

Perhaps more importantly, the game keeps all of Homestarrunner.com's quirky humor intact: the game's plot revolves around trying to erase dim-witted athlete [[Homestar Runner]]'s criminal record (he was arrested for indecent exposure) so he'll stop moping around Strong Bad's house. To do so, you'll have to explore numerous locales, solve item-oriented puzzles, and converse with other characters such as [[Strong Sad]] (Strong Bad's brother), [[Marzipan]] (Homestar's sorta-girlfriend), and [[The Cheat]] (Strong Bad's oft-abused sidekick). The Telltale crew estimates it will take three to four hours to complete the main quest, which doesn't count the extracurricular activities like finding pages to create your own stick-figure-based ''[[Teen Girl Squad]]'' comic and playing retro-inspired minigames such as the man-versus-reptile action of [[Snake Boxer 5]].<br>	+	As the first entry in a five-episode series, SBCG4AP sets the groundwork for the following chapters (which Telltale plans to release at regular intervals) with simple controls{{--}}you guide the cursor by moving the Wii remote, interact by pressing A, and access your inventory by pressing B.

-	Strong Bad says that they changed the name of SBCG4AP from ''Strong Bad: Great Graphics, Great Gameplay, Great Guy''. However, marketing suggested that it sounded too much like the ''Adventures of Lolo,'' so they changed it to the current title. Strong Bad also says that side effects of the game to people who cannot handle Strong Bad's style could be temporary loss of vision, spontaneous diaper, and cactus tongue. This would also happen if Strong Bad were to walk into a restaurant for a burger and they were out of burgers. Strong Bad says that unattractive people can play the game, but it won't make them more attractive. Gamers will be unable to use his wrestling moves.	+	Strong Bad says that they changed the name of SBCG4AP from ''Strong Bad: Great Graphics, Great Gameplay, Great Guy''.

-	Strong Bad says that the game being Wii-exclusive, rather than available on other consoles, was because he was promised 500 Rupees and a pet Skulltula. Strong Bad stated that the only Wii games he plans on playing are the free ones he expect Nintendo to send over to him as well. He says that no one would miss the video-game manuals that would come in a box, rather than on Wiiware. He does say that he would miss the eight blank pages for notes.	+	Strong Bad says that the game being Wii-exclusive, rather than available on other consoles, was because he was promised 500 Rupees and a pet Skulltula.
