I can't wait for this, I really enjoyed playing it at Eurogamer and had forgotten it was out so soon!

360 for me so that I can play co op with the wife!

All I've known about this game since its announcement is that it's by Ron Gilbert, and that was reason enough for me to get the game.
Prepurchased it through Greenmangaming and will get it on US PSN when it gets released.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
Day 1! And I almost never do that.

Looking forward to it. :D

Mmmmmaaaaayyyybbbbbeee?
*shrug* If there shouldn't be one I can change the title.

edit, PM'ed a mod. Should be fixed soon.

I know you've already changed it, but for future grammar nazi reference:

Adventurers = plural ("the adventurers")
Adventurer's = something belonging to an adventurer ("the adventurer's shoes")
Aventurers' = something belonging to multiple adventurers ("the adventurers' courage")

Want to get this, specially with the GMG discount. But with my huge backlog I should hold off for a bit >.<
 
Hopefully it'll be better written than Deathspank. I'll wait to see what you guys think of it before I pick it up. Tentatively excited, though.

Tempted to go Wii U simply so I have something new to play on the system, but I'm afraid of poor performance and Nintendo's shitty user system so I'm not sure. :\

I'll buy it at a high price.

Been a fan since the Monkey Island days. Any modern day adventure game that is created by the best of the best has my semen all over it.

Day One for XBLA - i try to support devs who make point n click adventures as often as possible.

Cheers BluWacky.

Ron was asked about save games on twitter last night.

https://twitter.com/grumpygamer/status/292441229390655489
There is only one save game, but it's a damn good save game!

https://twitter.com/grumpygamer/status/292462841125015552
It does remember previous play throughs and does change the game in some ways, so it's not a complete delete.

It's the way I wanted people to experience the game. It was an artist choice. You can't make a mistake in the game, so it's safe.

He was also on the Major Nelson podcast - http://majornelson.com/cast/2013/01/18/show-463-2-sir-hammerlock-and-ron-gilbert/

I am a bit dissapointed. I was hoping for a game like the old LucasArts-Adventures. But "The Cave" looks like "Trine" or something. Which is not bad, but not what I want form Ron Gilbert.

Wii U for me. Game seems pretty cool. I hope there'e some Miiverse integration, but I'm not optimistic.

Normally I buy games like this on XBLA but will likely buy this one on Wii U...assuming it has off TV play.
