Dan Connors: "Well, we're hoping to get on to both consoles, with Live Arcade and Virtual Console--I'm sorry, on all three consoles! But we're starting with Wii and Xbox, on both of their online services and retail as well. We want to open as much distribution as possible and reach as many people as possible, so when we go out and talk to a license holder we can say, "Hey, we can get your license in front of all these people. Come with us and we'll make sure it's a great product." The distribution channel drives a lot of that, especially if you're independent and you're an emerging media publisher. I think there's some room for us to grab a stake.
Shack: Have you had much discussion with the platform holders?
Dan Connors: Yeah, on and off. We're definitely talking to them about it. They talk to a lot of people, so getting their attention is a bit of a challenge, but it's always nice whenever there's an article going across the headlines that people want more Sam & Max. There's also a lot of interest in the episodic thing, and Sam & Max has gotten a lot of interest from the critics, so that helps too. "

From Xfire: "Bunnies are often depicted in media and popular culture as small, fluffy, adorable little buck-toothed bundles of cuteness, so far as deifying a rabbit and incorporating it into Easter traditions, somehow associating the mammal with colourful eggs and the consumption of unhealthy quantities of chocolate effigies made in its image. However, not all lagomorphs are love and cuddles - as Australia would be happy to tell you - and in video games, more often than not rabbits will be psychopathic murderers.
Since the brief season in which the ritualistic worship of a paranormal rabbit is socially acceptable is upon us, let's take a look, in no particular order, at the best and baddest hares in video games who could send the Easter Bunny packing."
How is Fran from Final Fantasy XII missing? ;-) She is the most badass Rabbit ever been in a video game!
I would add a couple honorable mentions. Vibri from Vib Ribbon and Robbit from Jumping Flash.
Bucky O'Hare says hello even though he only had one game.
On this week's episode of Second Opinion, HPP's I Coleman says that Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse is better than Grim Fandango. He says some other stuff, too, but that's all anybody's gonna remember.
Player 2 looks at some left of field movies that would make perfect video game translations in the right hands.
