It's coming this summer(I guess USA), for XBLA, PC, and PSN.

Monkey Island 2 was my favourite game of the series. :)

Maybe we'll get some other classics remade in the future. Put your bets on which one!

I vote for Day of the Tentacle.

Meh. It's one thing to remake a game to add new features or to correct flaws in the original... but an update just to add prettier higher resolution graphics? Color me uninterested.

How about the ability to run the game in your native OS rather than using DOSBOX?

It adds voice acting from the original cast, it's not only graphics.

I don't know if it's really related, but you may find interesting to read Aaron Giles' (from MAME's fame) Almanac.

Well, at least it doesn't look as shitty as the first "Special Edition", wherein Guybrush looked like a total poof.

In-game commentary. Sounds fun!

Wonder what they mean by direct control of Guybrush?

Maybe moving him with the key arrows or something like that?

I'm also looking forward for the commentary.

I'd guess the original cast would be Monkey Island 3, the first game in the series they did voice for.
