This is indeed heavy. Just as we were beginning to worry that Telltale’s pre-Xmas release date for Back to the Future might slip until after the holidays, old Chris Cringle, or more likely Emmet Brown, delivers some seasonal cheer.

Basically, the first trailer for Telltale’s Back to the Future adventure game series has hit, and it’s a stunner.
