Super Meat Boy



Xbox

Super Meat Boy's release day is October 20th. It's on sale for ten dollars until November when the price will go up to twenty dollars. So if you're interested, it'll be worth it to get it sooner than later.

IGN's review gives is an outstanding score of 9/10 and compares it to Super Mario Bros. They conclude that it is the best modern platformer!

Wii

Has yet to give out an official release date, but it is expected soon, in the fourth quarter of 2010. Unfortunately it was tweeted that the Wii version has nothing special and the Xbox one "is 100% the way to go BY FAR".

I'm hoping they offer the same sale price when the Wii version is also released, but I'll keep you updated.

PC

IGN states that the PC version is to be released sometime in November (2010). Again, waiting on news of official release date and pricing. But check back here for updates as well as their website. Edmund, one of the developers has commented that they are aiming for November 20th.

For all your Meaty goodness, check out their official store with all their neat stuff!!

Super Mario Galaxy 2 Complete & Super Meat Boy

Mario:

Well, I have just beat the final Bowser stage, and I gotta say.. It was too easy! My only comment on the whole game would be that all the fights with Bowser were identical!! But Mario and I are so pro, I'm not surprised it was easy.. lol, jk! :P And just when you think it's over.. It's never over. After watching the credits, there was a nice surprise! So you must check it out! The surprise blew my mind and made this game even more amazing!!!!

Meat Boy:

I am very excited for the upcoming game, Super Meat Boy. It is the same concept of Mario.. A bad guy steals your girlfriend, and your goal in every level is to save her. It's gross because you're a meatball and you leave blood everywhere you go, which makes the stages slippery and harder to succeed. It also makes me think of Limbo, for the Xbox, because it is deadly! You have to maneuver through next to impossible obstacles, like saw blades. It has a really cool feature, that once you complete a level, you have the opportunity to play it back with all your attempts simultaneously. My only beef (lol) with it, is that the release dates are all over the place. For both PC and Mac, IGN notes that it'll be out in August.. But it's NOT out yet! :@ Grr! I have searched around and found that it should be out around October.. So be on the look out! My other concern would be whether to buy it on PC or for the Wii. The one for the Wii has a release date approximately around Winter/Christmas time. So it all depends on how desperate I am to play it!
If you want some practice, there is a demo/prototype version that is free to play at Newgrounds. So if you're interested, check out the link and enjoy!
