Monkey Island 2 SE takes LeChuck's Revenge on consoles, PC this summer

Why gamespot only show the versions for PC, PS3 and X360? Its Alson on Iphone, Ipod Touch and Ipad.

The art is fantastic, voice acting perhaps even better! So thankful this series has returned.

Just got Secret of MR this weekend. Will definitely get LC's Revenge. Hope they remake all of them. Can't wait for my favorite version: CURSE of Monkey Island.

Liked the first back in the day and when it was "re-released". Looking forward to the 2nd as well!

I am a sad person, soon as I heard this news I completed Monkey Island 2 :P. The pictures of this remake look even better than the first game and I can't wait to hear the music being played on instruments. I still prefer the original artwork for the cover though!

Glad they are remaking all these

Nice :) I loved the older Monkey Islands, though I actually haven't downloaded the first one from Xbox Live yet. Maybe they'll release the series on disc once all have been made. Here's hoping.

The Monkey Island remake is overall, absolutely well done, and i was really hoping they would announce a remake for LeChuck's Revenge.The only gripe i had with the remake is they needed to make the animation smoother, to keep up with the ultra hi res artwork, hopefully they do that for the next remake.All they would need to do for Curse is upgrade everything to hi def, then leave it as is, which i hope they do.

@Fat_Boy_PT: A woodchuck could chuck no amount of wood since a woodchuck couldn't chuck wood.

This is the best game in the series. Awesome that it's getting back out there.

Ya Monkey Island makes much more sense then news on a sequel to the long awaited Star Wars Battlefront series. 5 Years we have waited and nothing. LUCAS ARTS MAKE STAR WARS BATTLESFRONT 3 ASAP!

This makes me soooooooooo happy.

Also not to mention Loom..that was great 2 As I remember they are planning on remake of Loom no?

yay :D can't wait..also my only hope now is that they 'd remake Full Throttle after they're done with ME remakes

brilliant ive been waiting a long time for this announcement

Sweet. I have the originals already, and I'm not a huge fan of digital distribution, so I might wait to see if they bring this into retail as a compilation first. But still, a good way to introduce people to a series that they may be too young to remember.

OMG cant wait! And now for the most important question: how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

SWEET! Really looking forward to this! :)

they should remake full throttle that game was awesome.

Hurray! I hope this trend continues. Bringing old games back with a few visual touch ups for a whole new generation of gamers to enjoy!

Can't wait anymore :D the first SE was great and I really enjoyed it :)

Awesome! Finally Lucasarts is embracing their past glory. Can only hope this trend continues.

I have been waiting for this since the first one was announced. I cant wait and Monkey 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. Now lets get a Indiana Jonas and the Fate of Atlantis remake with Harrison Ford doing the voice overs for Indy. This would kick ass!

Excellent I've been looking forward to this!

Awesome news, Monkey Island 2 is just about my favourite game ever.

Full Throttle next followed by Grim Fandango, The Dig, Day of the Tentacle and then remake the awful Monkey Island 4 :D

@SilentKing16 - Yeah they are real. Go to the Gamespot page and see more of them

Yeah, finally the last part with no proper voice acting gets sorted. MI2 was probably my favorite in the series and I just love Dominic Armato as Guybrush - he IS him. I hope there'll be an iPhone version of this as well as it was with the first one.

Perhaps they'll finally resolve just how much wood a woodchuck would chuck (assuming he could...health and safety and all...). The original MI2 was such a great game.

I wonder if they going to do Curse of Monkey Island some time. It is one of the most beautiful games of all times (and my personal favourite in the series). It looks ok now in 640x480 but If they could remaster graphics in high res and update sound it would be awesome.

U fight like a cow :P

this news has made my day...so pumped i hope they make more of them for xbla....especially day of the tentacle!

Not sure if any of you followed the freeware upgrades that people have made. But I feel so bad for this group that were working on bringing a spoken script to the original Monkey Island. All that hard work and then LucasArts just slap ya in the face with new graphics, new interface, and speech. Sucks for them, but honestly this is better!

AHHH, the second installment is my fav. I hope they do it justice. Looking forward to it. Liked the first remake.

@topraman517 I also like the old style more but it will be nice to have the game on my 360. I don't know what happened to my PC game.

I don't like the overly cartoony approach they've been taking with these Money Island remakes. In a way the originals actually have MORE graphical detail, albeit at a much lower resolution. So basically, I'll stick to the originals.

Awesome, I found Le Chucks Revenge to be one of the thoughest of the series to beat. @Junglemanchild Is that picture fanmade, or did they allready released some pics?

Day of the Tentacle was the one of my favourite games of all time. I bet even at today's standards, the graphics are still decent enough to endure another playthrough, which is a shame really otherwise I bet the developers would definitely consider a remake. Please Lucasarts give us a sequel!!! Make it happen!!!

YES! Cant wait!

My name is Guybrush Threepwood and I am a mighty pirate!!!

Midbackman, a double thumbs from me. You are bang on.

I would happily pay for any remade Lucasarts title from the past , Full Throttle , Grim Fandago and Day of the tentacle come on Lucasarts sort it out !

Well I hope they make a Grim Fandango remake since they're remaking this.

I will expect it... the first SE is awesome :)

yawn. great, i can play a next-gen console version of a 20-year old game that already came out a year ago at this point. But I can overpay for it on a digital store now, as well. Thanks, PSN! i love your nickel and dime feature. You should also sell me an option to compare my Monkey Island score on an online leaderboard for 2 dollars. Oh, man, I can get trophies, too! **Rolls eyes** Just let me go check my Facebook, so I can make sure I know the exact release date of this catastrophe and blindly fall for yet another money-making scheme like the rest of the masses with no brain function.

@serieus Well, it's not "high resolution". Frankly, I haven't been able to play it correctly since I upgraded my computer to Windows 7. This and Outlaws just work like crap. Or not at all.
