Sam And Max May Be Wiibound

1up reports that fan outcry to Nintendo may result in Sam and Max on the Wii. From the article: "Telltale contacted 1UP last Friday, letting us know gamers can stop pestering the company, as Telltale received a call from Nintendo earlier that afternoon. 'They took notice! We got a phone call from Nintendo this afternoon. We'll take it from here - please don't email them anymore!,' said Telltale's Web Coordinator Emily Morganti to 1UP, who also wrote the original blog asking gamers to begin virtually rioting."

For those like myself who did not know

They seem to be talking about these guys: http://www.telltalegames.com/samandmax [telltalegames.com] . Can't say I've heard of them before. But cool. The link is already slashdotted.

Not anyone. You have to jump through some hoops before Nintendo accepts your money.
More information can be found at http://warioworld.com/ [warioworld.com]
(no, it's not a gamesite; it's the Nintendo Software Development Support Group Home Page)

A quick copy&paste from their "Become a Licensee" [warioworld.com] page :
If, after a review of the appropriate summary, you remain interested in becoming a Nintendo licensee, please forward the following non-proprietary information to Nintendo:

1) A detailed description of your company, including a summary of your software development experience, financial resources and stability and your industry leadership. This information should be in the form of a prospectus, business plan or summary statement;

2) A detailed introduction to your key personnel and developers setting forth any technical, managerial or sales experience that may be relevant;

3) A marketing plan for your proposed products, including targeted distribution channels, advertising commitments, consumer service resources, merchandising, etc.;

4) Any market study information on consumer demand for your proposed product which you may be relying on;

5) A written description of your proposed software product;

6) A complete summary and at least three samples of software programs you have previously developed and upon which you rely for establishing your technical know-how.

Nintendo will then undertake to make a determination if your qualifications would support your selection as an authorized licensee. Because Nintendo licensees are provided with highly proprietary information and because our licensees must be able to successfully market and support high quality product to a broad base of Nintendo product users throughout the United States, Canada and South America, Nintendo exercises a high level of care in its appointment of its licensees. If we elect to proceed, we will prepare a formal license agreement which will be forwarded to you for your review. After the mutual execution of an Agreement, Nintendo will provide you with software development specifications, and support.

I can address this in a limited manner, as I have been involved with project as the recording engineer.

Know that the E3 Trailer to which you are referring to came well before the voice actors had actually been cast. I can tell you a great deal of care has been put into the process of casting and recording the voice for the new SnM games.

And the trailer on the TTG website is not an example of the voiceover from the game itself.
