Season One of Sam & Max's Wii adventures starts this October 7th in the States, with a pre-order bonus...

Telltale have today announced that the highly-anticipated Sam & Max Season One for Wii launch in stores across North America starting this October 7th. For those not in the know, the series is structured like a TV series, with self-contained episodes that tie into a larger overarching storyline as the season progresses. The Wii version collects the first six-episode "season" of Sam & Max games on one handy disc.

In Season One, straight-laced canine detective Sam and his psychotic "rabbity-thing" sidekick Max are on the hunt for the mastermind behind a baffling hypnosis conspiracy. Players get to interrogate suspects (with amusing results), uncover clues, solve puzzles, and ultimately piece together the underlying mystery that links the episodes.

The story-focused gameplay and simple "point and click" interface have a low learning curve, and a new tutorial ensures that even players new to the Sam & Max experience will be up to speed in minutes. The game also has a few technical improvements over the PC original, including widescreen support.

To welcome the arrival of the first Sam & Max console game, our US readers take note: GameStop is offering a special preorder deal. Customers who reserve the game in stores or through GameStop.com before the October 7th release will receive a CD containing Sam & Max bonus content, including a behind-the-scenes "making of" featurette, trailers, concept art, a soundtrack sampler, and desktop wallpapers!
