| - | A week and a half before the game was announced, actual gameplay footage from the game was featured in the [[YouTube]] video [[Strong Bad Gameways]]. Despite the flashing message on the screen, "ACTUAL GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE", it was unknown whether or not such a 3D game was actually in the works, until Telltale Games announced the game and confirmed that the Strong Bad Gameways footage was from it. According to a [[IGN Interview - 14 April 2008|later interview]], the game had been been discussed for over a year. It was finalized when [[Nintendo]] announced the WiiWare system, and development officially began in January 2008. On April 11, the gaming website IGN [http://wii.ign.com/articles/865/865974p1.html covered] the Nintendo Summit and several demo demonstrations of WiiWare, including SBCG4AP.
