This year, fans of point-and-click adventure games will be treated to a revamped version of LucasArts' The Secret of Monkey Island which which will be released as a digital download on Xbox 360 and PC.
Craig Derrick, the producer of The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition, intimated to the Guardian that PS3 and Wii owners may get the game as well. When asked why Xbox Live and not WiiWare or PSN, Derrick said,
Well, we never said we wouldn't be on Wiiware or PSN now did we? ... We may have another platform announcement to make very, very soon.
The possibility of similar special edition re-releases for other LucasArts adventure games also exists, but it all ultimately hinges on how well The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition does.
...The special edition is really a great big experiment to see what interest there is for these types of games and if people are interested in playing them on a console. If the fans really respond well, then I think it will be tough to say no to another one.
Long story short, if you want to see more of these games then make sure to buy the special edition. Get your friends to buy it too, for that matter.

I look forward to this on any console. But if it's for PC then that's what I'll get!

I'm a huge Monkey Island fan and I reckon if anything is going to go wrong by introducing the Monkey Island franchise to current gamers is that the developers (Lucas Arts for SoMI: special edition and Telltale games for Tales of Monkey Island) can't decide what platform to make it for. Well even if they can they're not blatantly saying they're making it for all consoles, Which in my opininon is the best way to start this franchise up again.
The reintroduction of this game will be pretty short lived if they keep up with their ways. Announcing the return of Monkey Island would've gotten a lot more attention than announcing it for 1 console and rumours for it to move on to other consoles.
