Story Feedback
Well, who knows though? I generally don't like movies but this could possibly live up to the image of Tintin. I wouldn't count on it, but it's possible.
I'm pretty sure it was YTV. I remember watching it ages ago, and I didn't have Teletoon until a little more recently.
The Duck Has Spoken.
REALLY good cartoon. I suggest everyone go look it up on YouTube -- once you get past some of the silly fanmade dubs and find some actual episodes, you'll see how good it is.
No seriously, if you never read them stop playing whatever you're playing and read them NOW!

Sounds like they're starting work on this pretty early. Sounds good to me because licensed games don't usually turn out too well so this two year dev time might work out for the better.
I'm pretty sure it'll be for every system.
