Is it coming?

[Brainiac]

If anyone needs a reason to pay attention to the GDC next week, I have one:

MI2:LR Special Edition (http://kotaku.com/5486393/rumor-lucasarts-releasing-monkey-island-2-special-edition) is rumored as an announcement at the conference, supposedly for PC, 360, PSN, and iPhone. If the PSN part is true, hopefully the game will be dual-compatible with PSP and PS3.

I hate to double post, but...

Official news from LucasArts at GDC: SMISE on PSN and Mac (http://twitter.com/lucasartsgames/status/10302696038) and MI2SE...now with new hair (http://twitter.com/lucasartsgames/status/10302747106)!

Don't these guys (http://twitpic.com/17tylw) look thrilled?

I actually really want to play this, after having played the first one (yes, I know, I finally played it).

Indeed; it's about time, Terraguy. Once you get it, I suppose we can allow you back in to the old-school club...

Well, I admit I've never played a MI game. So there. :p

Get out.

Or, you know, play one. The first two are true SCUMM classics.

I'm with Swish. Your old-schooler cred due to being from the older boards is hereby revoked until you download ScummVM and snag copies of at least two Monkey Island games.

To be honest, I'd have been more surprised if they issued an official statement saying "Nope, that's it! No more special edition remakes, the first was a flop, so we're abandoning the idea!"

Besides, I though this one had been floating about since MI1 was rereleased?

Either way, glad to hear they're doing this one! Can't wait to see Guybrush wearing a dress in HD! Its gonna be great!

Huh, I forgot all about that.

Well, I better get right to it.
