GDC 10: Monkey Island 2 Special Edition confirmed

PC News | The original also coming to PSN and Mac.
GDC has yielded an awesome announcement for adventure game fans, as Lucasarts have announced that The Secret of Monkey Island 2: Le Chuck's Revenge Special Edition is indeed a reality. The announcement, reported by Joystiq here was made at a pirate-themed party at the conference.

The sequel's special edition will feature the same upgraded high-definition art, full voiceovers and remastered music that the original was treated to, as well as the ability to switch between the original version of the game and the remastered one. However, some aspects will be changed, such as a new control mechanic for moving Guybrush around, and a new design for Guybrush's hair, after complaints from fans regarding his look in the first special edition. The Secret of Monkey Island 2: Le Chuck's Revenge Special Edition is expected to come out 'this summer' on XBLA, PSN, PC and iPhone.

In other news, it was also announced that the original The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition will be coming to PSN and Mac, as well as online games stores such as Instant Action and Telltale. No release date for these ports has yet been announced, but keep checking back for more information as we get it.

WOO! Totally psyched!

I LOVE the Monkey Island series and was surprised how little I remembered from the first game when I replayed the special edition. Hopefully the trend continues and Monkey Island 2 has been similarly forgotten icon_razz.gif

If it's at least as cheap as the first, great!

Otherwise I'll skip it. I don't remember the second game being quite as funny.

Even if you didn't find it funny everything else was better. Long story with more memorable moments and involved puzzles along with fantastic artwork and a hell of a lot more to do than the first game which was rather barebones.
Most importantly of all, the hair isn't retarded in this remake which makes me very, very happy.
