Whilst many people were eagerly awaiting the online release of Telltale Game’s new title for the WiiWare download service, Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People, unfortunately it seems that fans will have to be patient for a little while longer.

Telltale Games has now confirmed that although its first foray into the world of WiiWare is now complete, the game is still sat on the WiiWare shelf, awaiting approval from Nintendo itself before the product can actually be launched into the online Wii realm. Below is what Telltale Games had to say on the matter:

“What IGN said is true - we have submitted the game to Nintendo, and as soon as we get approval from them, it will be released quickly after that. We really are in the home stretch. We’ve been waiting to announce a release date until we have that approval, though, because until that happens, well, anything can happen! Getting games into WiiWare is a new process for us and we’re learning as we go, so I’m sorry if any of you are disappointed that tomorrow is the last Monday in July and you won’t have a Strong Bad game to play. On the plus side, we’re closer now than we’ve ever been, and very soon we should be able to tell you exactly when it’s coming out!”

“Also, I’d like to preemptively say that contrary to some comments I’ve seen people making here and there, Nintendo has NOT been sitting on the game for months. We were still working on getting some bugs fixed until fairly recently. So please don’t assume that they’re some evil empire that’s been hoarding the game since June because they don’t want you to have it. Everyone we’re working with at Nintendo wants the game to come out just as badly as we (and you!) do.”
