Telltale Games has released a number of episodic titles through the WiiWare service, such as Tales of Monkey Island, Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space and Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, but their recent tiles have typically been released on other platforms. Nintendo fans can rejoice however as Back to the Future: The Game is coming to the Nintendo Wii.

In a press statement issues today Telltale Games announced that a deal has been signed with Nintendo to release titles on the console. The first confirmed title will be Back to the Future: The Game, due out in October in North America for only $19.99.

At the moment it is unknown if more of their titles will be released on the Nintendo Wii but the press release does refer to Back to the Future: The Game as the first title in the deal to be released so we assume more are coming.
