Telltale’s excellent Wallace and Gromit Adventure Series is coming to the iPad, the developer announced today. The series will be episodic, just as they were on the PC, starting with “The Last Resort.”

As Destructoid notes, however, “The Last Resort” is the second episode in the series. Either they have decided to abandon that episode or will incorporate it somehow into the second episode to cater for the iPad market.

Having adventure games like this on the go is always a nice idea, and great for playing when you’re bored. Wallace and Gromit will always have a place in my [heart/DVD cabinet/new world order- delete as appropriate], however, as I grew up watching the delightful original episodes (fully modeled in plasticine) on a yearly basis. My mother even knitted me a Wallace and Gromit-themed soft toy when I was just a wee nipper.

If I had an iPad, this would be great news. I don’t have an iPad, but if you do, feel free to treat this news with contempt or glee as you wish.

Straight out of San Diego comes the latest comic-book animation and videogame news: Telltale Games, who have made two seasons of Sam and Max episodic games and are working on the Homestar Runner Wiiware game, have announced they’ll be creating a series of games based on Wallace and Gromit.

Wallace and Gromit are a British man-and-best-friend team that have held a number of odd jobs across their short films, including window washers, sheep shearers, and astronauts. Telltale CEO Dan Connors told the Associated Press that they’ll stay true to the short films and 2005 movie, but no word yet on whether these will be action-based or adventure-based games.

W&G is a beloved series by many, so hopefully Telltale Games will be careful to keep fans on board by carefully matching the series’ humor, wit, and art style. As soon as we have the first concrete info on this intriguing new game, we’ll be sure to let you know.
