Telltale, the developers of the Tales Of Monkey Island series, produced downloadable Back To The Future episodes for PC last year and now they're all being bundled together for a Wii retail release.

Back to the Future: The Game is a graphic adventure game starring Marty McFly and Doc Brown who is voiced by Christopher Lloyd.

This is a new Back To The Future story set six months after the events of Back To The Future 3. The DeLorean time machine has returned to Hill Valley forcing Marty to go back in time to 1931 and ask a teenage Emmett Brown for help. Seeing as the DeLorean got destroyed on the train tracks at the end of the third film, it's a surprise to see it back.

Are you a Back To The Future fan? Are you pleased that it's coming to Wii?

    1.21 GIGAWATTS?!!

    Sorry. I meant to say, "yes, I'm partical to the films".
    As long as the manages the same manic tounge-in-cheek humour of the films then I'll be happy.
    Actualy quite excited. This is heavy.

    "There's that word again; "heavy". Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the earth's gravitational pull?"

    I wondered when this would be coming out on a platform I have.

    As Back to the Future is one of my all-time favourite 80's films, I'll definitely be keeping a look out for this :D

    The Back to the Future films are my favourite films. Kinda disappointed that this is 31 and not 35 though, seeing as that would be in keeping with the patterns the films set out. Not really an important point though, I suppose.

    I'm glad it's coming to the Wii. But, is it any good? I didn't hear much about whether it was worth playing on the PC last year.

    They neglected to mention that this also came out on the Playstation Network last year. They released the first of the five episodes for free just a few months ago, so I got the chance to try it out properly. It's ok. Controls were kind of clunky and the whole package felt like a throwback to 90's point and click adventures, BUT it did have a slight BTTF feel so it sort of made up for its technical shortcomings.

    Whoever doesn't like Back to the Future is a moron. This is going to be good.
