TellTale Games says that sales of its WiiWare game, Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People, have doubled since Nintendo announced a new storage solution at the Game Developer’s Conference in March. Of course, we don’t know what number these sales doubled from because TellTale didn’t make that information available. Nevertheless, bully for them for earning some extra coin. It makes me wonder if there has been an upswing in sales for other developers and publishers of WiiWare games.
