Way back in January, Activision announced Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings for the Wii, DS, and PlayStation Portable via YouTube. Since then, news on the Indy title has slowed considerably. Hell, I forgot it existed until today, when Activision released a bunch of screenshots for Fates of Atlantis -- a bonus addition to the Wii version of the game.
The good news is that Fate of Atlantis looks beautiful. It seems like LucasArts are handling the SCUMM title’s conversion to Wii hardware well. I never had an opportunity to play the title when I was big into adventure games (King's Quest, Quest for Glory and Space Quest were my jam) but I was always intrigued by the diverging paths that the narrative takes depending on your critical thinking and action skills.
As far as we know, Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings is still slated for a Spring release. So, let’s hold hands and hope it doesn’t blow as much as the last movie.

The memories! It all comes flooding in at once with these screenshots.
This was my first game EVER on CD-ROM. I played it ENDLESLLY. I remember all of this > <
Dear Wii, please let me buy all of the Scumm games off WiiWare and you will have my heart.
Also, NUR-AB-SALLLLLL
The mini-games like trying to land your balloon on the submarine or barfight, were kind of annoying.
Monkey Island next? Please? PLEASE? PLEASE!?!?!?!?!!?
Why would I go buy a product to support devs who have nothing to do with, and are no where near as good as the old LucasArts guys?
How appropriate, you fight like a cow!
