i wish they would do a outh Park versio of this game,lol

The Medicine Seller

The jokes practically write themselves, don't they?

Sugoi

"Gosh Frank! Looks like there's something fishy going on down at Smuggler's Cove - let's take Chet's jalopy down there and investigate."

"Good idea Joe. I bet those fellows could tell us something about about the missing scientist too!"

There, plot written. I expect my royalty cheque by return of post.

I climbed Hannah Mountain once.

Let me guess the control scheme:
move the controller (any direction) = win the game

Baka_Survivor

Hey - the Hardy Boys are anything but casual.

. . .

(who am I kidding)

SmilingPolitely

@screenfan: my clue is even bigger

SupaPhly

Raging clue

DigitalFigure

On the Wii! Who would have guessed it.

Sniper_Zegai

Uh, this doesn't sound like it will be much better than the Nancy Drew games, rangers with ulterior motives aside. Not enough action, lots of safety and cautiousness, boring!
@StormdragonBlue: Are you kidding? *shakes fist at young punk*
@Garo: That's where they fall into peril as a fireman is trapped fighting a fire along the tree line. Only the Hardy Boys are close enough to help!

Erwin

No comment -_-

shrek187

Mmm...Hardy Boys..

Xavior

Hannah Mountain?

Garo

I could bother to Google up what Hardy Boys is and all.

I could but I won't.

StormdragonBlue

Mm i got a huge clue.

screenfan

The -Hidden- Theft, eh?

Don't think there'd be much investigating for the boys to do if it wasn't, would there?

MarquisMark

Sounds like a porno.

Irafe

ONLY the Hardy Boys? This is the worst wrestling game ever.

Bergerac

Hardy Boys. Wasn't this license last popular around the 1950s? Even with the Wii's unusually large audience, I can't imagine the demographic of people who will know who the Hardy Boys are, Care, and own a Wii is likely to be very large.

Jackablade

Oh no, not the goddamn Har...

marmidukestank

@Bergerac: I came here just to make a wrestling joke, but you beat me to it. Good show.

CaptMonkey

The Hardly Boys... Two young whipper snappers that have an nack for solving mysteries.

fquick

@Bergerac: i actually lol'd at that one. In the most literal of senses. Good play, guv'na.

WildWon

@SupaPhly: Yea, well i have a raging clue here. You should come take a look at it.

WildWon

And I would've gotten away with it, too, if it hadn't been for you kids!

Oh, wait... wrong mystery-solvin' kids...

Sensai-N

"Don't think of this as a point and click adventure but a waggle and click one."

Har, Har, never gets old. Love it!

But seriously, I LOVED the hardy boys when I was young. Not sure how the Nancy Drew games are, but this gives young boys a potential alternative to some mystery solving goodness.

I'd pay for a Hardly Boys game...

DukeOfPwn

I would buy this if it were an ero game and you had to detective Nancy Drew out of her clothes so you could orgy with her.

Monsieur Fap★Fap!

I refuse to believe they actually write new versions of these books.

They must be taking the old stories and putting new covers on them.

Len Bias Cocaine Surplus

@screenfan: Curses! You beat me to the punch.

So much for this clue glue...

Here's how we take and make this awesome:

Frank and Joe die in a car explosion (just like his girlfriend did) as they leave their father, Fenton Hardy's house. The hard-core ex-fed P.I. goes on an epic descent into the bowels of the criminal underworld his sons had gutted open during one of the many mysteries they never told him about.

He won't stop shooting off fingers till he gets the name of the man behind these brutal slayings. His moral compass will be shattered with shattering of his sons' bodies and as the player you must guide him through his darkest hour.

Human Bomb

one more reason i didn't buy a wii

phatnacky

@phatnacky: because you somehow divined that the Hardy Boys were coming to the console when you made your choice? Wow attuned to all things Hardy, you are.

Also those waggle cracks NEVER get old Kotaku! The wit! It slays!

auberondreaming

@phatnacky: You do realize that is probably the stupidest thing ever to be posted onto the internet EVAR! right?

I don't like RPGs, but I still bought a PS2. There was also a constant and steady stream of crapware on the PS2, but I still bought one.

Wanna know why? Because there were other games on the system that were good.

If I judged any system by its stupidest, worst, and most cash-in prone games, I could make a bad case against a system too. And then I could be a massive tool.

2NinjasTapedTogether

I saw a hardy boys book in a thrift store once and couldn't stop laughing because I kept thinking of that southpark parody :P I'm sure this game will be amusing lol

hrabbit

*swanton bombs announcement*

Lukehmuse

Screw this Where is the Venture Brothers Game????

PresDNA

Anyone who ever THOUGHT of "hardy boys" and "video game" at the same time would spontaneously combust, so there is nobody alive who wants this game.

Killalaz

@2NinjasTapedTogether:
have you looked at the WII line up...sweet baby jesus on a pogo stick... cant i have my own damned oppion. the resion i didnt buy a wii is becasue i dont like waggle stick...and nintendo in the past 8 years hanst come out with anything that that i wanted to play bad enough to warren t me buying a Nintendo based system.

like i siad befor , the wii just dosnt do it for me becasue , the majority of hit mainstream multi platform games out there cant be played on the wii ,and if they can they are watered down to the point of not being worth the money.

i'll buy a Wii when there 40bucks like the gamecube

phatnacky

Joe totally looks like the bottom. That is all.

Trai_Dep

@phatnacky: Hopefully, by then, Wii's will come with Spell Check?

Trai_Dep

@Trai_Dep:

maybe so ...I'm dyslexic thanks for being an ass. i will admit to my lack of punctuation...but im just lazy in that aspect

phatnacky

I would kill for a Hardly Boys game.
