Somebody, or THING, needs some coffee. |
Coffee Beans
The Walking Dead episodic games series by Telltale Games is currently available for PC/MAC owners, PlayStation 3 owners, Xbox 360 owners, and iPhone/iPad owners. The series currently has four episodes available to play, and Episode 5 is scheduled for release in December.
After seeing the first two seasons of The Walking Dead on Netflix and finding it interesting, I contacted Telltale Games about the possibility of The Walking Dead episodic games series releasing for the Wii U, since I have the system reserved and because they do have a history of developing an episodic games series on a Nintendo platform.
No answer is usually an answer, but in this situation I have no clue what that answer might be. Maybe my questions weren’t clear enough? I know walkers don’t talk, at least that’s what I have heard, but apparently from my email communications neither does Telltale Games. Brew yourself some coffee, and hit the jump to see my questions emailed to Telltale Games.
The Brew
The video above contains more communication attempts from walkers, than I have received from Telltale Games in regards to my questions. Nintendo has the famous (or, infamous) policy that when someone asks them about a rumor, news leak from a developer/publisher, or information that Nintendo hasn’t said directly themselves, even if the information is true, they respond with, “We do not comment on rumors or speculation.”
Well, I have now reached out to Telltale Games four times by email, and once on their Twitter account. Here is the timeline of my emails to them, and the questions specifically about if The Walking Dead games series is coming to the Wii U:
- October 7, 2012 – “Are there any plans, perhaps not yet announced, to bring The Walking Dead series to the Wii U?”
- October 13, 2012 – “Are there any plans to bring The Walking Dead games series to the Wii U’s eShop?”
- October 16, 2012 – “Are there any plans to bring The Walking Dead games series to the Wii U’s eShop?”
- October 18, 2012 – “Are there any plans to bring The Walking Dead games series to the Wii U’s eShop?”

Say…cheese? |
I’m hoping this will be a surprise announcement before the Wii U launches, and that The Walking Dead episodic games series will be available for Wii U owners to purchase day one from the eShop. If not, I’m planning on grabbing the game for my PC, because I have heard a lot of good feedback on the writing in the games and the tough decisions that players are faced with making.
Are any of you fans of The Walking Dead show/novels in general, but perhaps haven’t played the episodic games yet?
