Mark Darin, season and co-lead designer at Telltale, has told CVG that the first episode of Tales of Monkey Island went down a storm and has already become the dev's most successful franchise yet.
"We've been overwhelmed by how popular Tales of Monkey Island has been, we can definitely say that is has been our most successful Telltale franchise to date," Darin told CVG.
Telltale has also done Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People and Sam and Max episodic games.

Joel Dreskin, marketing director, added, "We've been selling Tales of Monkey Island primarily through the full season. Even more than previous Telltale series, Tales of Monkey Island is an epic saga told across 5 episodes, and the full season purchase is the best way to experience it.
"That said, we've been piloting different ways to get the games to customers, including individual episodes through Amazon's Digital Game Download channel (currently available in the US only)."
It was a full gone conclusion that this was going to be huge as soon as they revealed it.
Considering the great work they've done with Sam and Max and strong bad as well as getting imput from Ron Gillbert too i'd say the series is definately in safe hands.
Just one question though. WHEN'S EPISODE 2 OUT ON WIIWARE?
Really enjoyed the first episode. Much better than 'Escape from...'. It'll never be up there with the originals but then, they just don't make them like they use to!
Dunno, I'm not really digging the mer-people in Episode 2. I can stretch my imagination to allow for Zombie Pirates and cursed rings etc but I think an underwater civilization is a bit much.
