Back To The Future Gets Retail Console Release
Telltale’s Back to the Future adventure game was a rollercoaster of nostalgia, but now Telltale is hoping to catch a whole new fanbase by releasing the episodic series on a single disc for the Wii and PlayStation 3.
As GamePro recently reported, Telltale has signed a deal with Nintendo, which allows the developer to publish games, including Back to the Future, on the Wii.
This comes on the heels of news that Telltale has expanded its publishing agreement with Sony, which would allow Telltale to release retail copies of its games for the PlayStation 3. This could mean that we’ll soon see retail copies of some of Telltale’s previous PSN releases, such as Puzzle Agent, Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, Tales of Monkey Island, and Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse.
This could also mean that upcoming Telltale titles, like Jurassic Park and The Walking Dead, could have retail releases on both the Wii and the PS3.
Expect to see Back to the Future on store shelves this October for $19.99. To read more about this charming series, read our reviews of episodes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
