WII™ TAKES THE CASE – HARVEY BIRDMAN: ATTORNEY AT LAW™ COMES HOME TO ROOST ON THE LATEST NINTENDO VIDEO GAME SYSTEM
SAN MATEO, Calif — Sept. 4, 2007 - Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, announced today that Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law™ is now coming to the Wii™ video game system from Nintendo. The Wii version of Harvey joins the previously announced PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system and PSP® (PlayStation® Portable) system versions of the game. The Wii version of Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law will carry a suggested retail price of $39.99, while the PS2 and PSP versions will have an SRP of $29.99. Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law will be available for all three platforms on November 13.
Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law is a fully animated interactive adventure game that merges the fun and mayhem of the popular Adult Swim TV show with Capcom’s unique style of gameplay. Players will step into the shiny wingtips of Harvey Birdman, a third-rate superhero turned third-rate defense attorney charged with exonerating parodied classic cartoon characters.
Over the course of the game, players must guide Harvey through a series of odd and comical cases. Each of the game's five interactive stories takes the winged crusader of justice to familiar locations from the TV show. In order to prove his client’s innocence, Harvey must peruse the scene of the crime, gather evidence, talk with other cartoon characters, occasionally have drinks with opposing council, and of course, tear holes – no matter how ridiculous – in the testimony provided by the witness for the prosecution. Harvey must bring the whole story together to defend his client in a court where anything can happen… including a confrontation with the prosecution who brandishes a Shrink Ray Gun. With outrageous gameplay and the comical antics of hilarious animated characters, players and fans alike will feel that they are not just taking control of a character, but actually taking part in a brand new episode of Harvey Birdman.

All of it.
Frothing horn-ball teenagers killed the show that started it all.

Agreed. Save for Robot Chicken the new AS shows are very, very bad. Even if the old shows were built on random and surreal comedy using very limited animation budgets at least they packed wit and a strong comedic punch. These shows are just random crap thrown around in hopes that one of them becomes comedic genius.
As for the game, it started life as a PS2 and PSP game, of course it was going to come to the Wii! :p

Agreed. What happened to Space Ghost, Brak, and ATHF?
Anyway, I will say that I do like Moral Orel.

I agree with Pale, but I don't consider Robot Chicken new. It's been around. It's the shows that had aired pilots and had actual seasons months to over a year or more later. Shows like 12 Oz. Mouse and Squidbillies are trash. I like Moral Orel a little bit, but not that much. I'll watch it, but wouldn't be sad to see it go. Saul of the Mole Men is nice. I liked the story even if it was a bit silly and the comedy was mild at best.

I like Harvey Birdman though =) it's not the funniest show but it has its moments. Robot Chicken is great as does Robot Chicken and Venture Brothers is great and I look forward to seasons 3 and 4. I am kind of looking forward to that Lucy Daughter of the Devil show (forgot the real name . . . sorry if that's wrong) because it has the guy who voiced Coach McGurk in home movies doing voices in it (love that VA haha).
