'''NINTENDO POWER:''' Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People is kind of a long title. Did you consider any alternate names?
+
Strong Bad says that they changed the name of SBCG4AP from ''Strong Bad: Great Graphics, Great Gameplay, Great Guy''. However, marketing suggested that it sounded too much like the ''Adventures of Lolo,'' so they changed it to the current title.  Strong Bad also said that side affects of the game to unattractive people could be temporary loss of vision, spontaneous diaper, and cactus tounge.  This would also happen if Strong Bad were to walk into a restaurant for a burger and they were out of burgers.  Strong Bad said that unattractive people can play the game, but it won't make them more attractive.  Gamers will be unable to use his wrestling moves.

'''STRONG BAD:''' "Strong Bad: Great Graphics, Great Gameplay, Great Guy" was the original name, but the marketing people said it sounded too much like "Adventures of Lolo," so we changed it.
+
Strong Bad says that Trogdor's appearance in the game is a trade secret.
-
'''NINTENDO POWER:''' What will happen to people who try to play this game but are unable to handle your style?
+
Strong Bad indicated that he was opposed to this style of game, where he is controlled by a gamer, and was in favor of a "sit-'n'-watch" game.  He was later informed that is known as a "cartoon" and already has one. 
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Temporary loss of vision, spontaneous diaper, cactus tongue.
+
Strong Bad said that the Wii exclusive for the game consoles was because he was promised 500 Rupees and a pet Skulltula.  He said that no one would miss the video-game manuals that would come in a box, rather than on Wiiware.  He did say that he would miss the eight blank pages for notes.
-
'''NINTENDO POWER:''' Can unattractive people play your game? Will it make them more attractive?
+
He also spoke about Snake Boxer 5 and how it introduced the health meter, revolutionizing gaming.
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Non-attractoids are perfectly welcome to try playing SBCG4AP, but I don't think they'll figure out how to make it past the title screen, and it definitely won't make them any more attractive. I made sure they programmed all that stuff in there.
+
-
 
+
-
'''NINTENDO POWER:''' How do you feel about potentially millions of players being able to control your actions?
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' I was very against it at first. I wanted it to be a sit-'n'-watch game instead of a point-'n'-click game. But then the programmers told me that's called a cartoon, and I already have one of those.
+
-
 
+
-
'''NINTENDO POWER:''' Why is your first game coming out on Wii and not other systems?
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Because you promised me 500 rupees. And a pet Skulltula.
+
-
 
+
-
'''NINTENDO POWER:''' Do you have a Wii? How hard is it to play Wii with your boxing gloves on? What games do you play on it?
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' How hard is it for you to play Wii with your Power Glove on? Do they still make you wear those around the office? '''[Editors Note: Yes.]''' Oh, and the games I play on the Wii are all the free ones you're gonna send me.
+
-
 
+
-
'''NINTENDO POWER:''' Will that dragon you drew, Trogdor, appear the game?
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' That's a trade secret. All 46 of your readers would have to sign NDAs if I told you that.
+
-
 
+
-
'''NINTENDO POWER:''' You seem to have a lot in common with Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime. Are you related, by chance?
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, whatever Reggie fills is his own business. He can fill his grandma's shoes with corn for all I care. Ooh, that's a good idea....
+
-
 
+
-
'''NINTENDO POWER:''' How would you react if you went to a restaurant for a burger, but they were all out?
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Temporary loss of vision, spontaneous diaper, cactus tongue.
+
-
 
+
-
'''NINTENDO POWER:''' Why is your game coming out for WiiWare instead of as a retail game? Would it be cooler if it came with a box and manual?
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Who was the last person that actually read a video-game manual? Galileo? Anyone who can't figure out how to mash a bunch of buttons on a game pad shouldn't be indulging in video-gamery in the first place. I will miss the eight blank pages for "Notes" in the back of the manual, though.
+
-
 
+
-
'''NINTENDO POWER:''' We were very excited to play Snake Boxer 5. How does it compare to the rest of the Snake Boxer series? What's your highest score in Snake Boxer 5?
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Snake Boxer 5 revolutionized the franchise with its introduction of the health meter! It also made waves with its controversial subplot where the boxer falls in love with a Cottonmouth. As for my high score, after getting to round two zillion, my console melted into the carpet and mysteriously broke my camera, so I couldn't take a picture for proof.
+
-
 
+
-
'''NINTENDO POWER:''' Who is more awesome: Mr. T or Chuck Norris?
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Bad of America LLC does not comment on lame questions, trendy in-jokes, and played-out internet gags. '''[Editor's Note: We believe Strong Bad just can't handle Mr. T's style.]'''
+
-
 
+
-
'''NINTENDO POWER:''' Will players be able to use any of your awesome wrestling moves in the game?
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Unfortunately, no. Most of my wrestling moves would require way more teraflops than the Wii can handle. Hey, that's a great name for a wrestling move: The Terror Flop!
+
-
 
+
-
'''NINTENDO POWER:''' Will there be any They Might Be Giants songs in the game?
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Only if my nerd-music detector stops working. This is a Strong BAD game, not a Strong SAD game, man!
+
-
 
+
-
'''NINTENDO POWER:''' I know the game isn't done yet, but what kind of score do you think it will get on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the best), and why?
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh wait, one's not the best? Thank you so much for explaining that new concept to me! You Nintendorks are a bunch of rocket scientists over there. Good thing, too. 'Cause it's gonna take a super genius to tabulate the astronomically high score of my game.
