Just announced: the PC version of Super Meat Boy is taking the "exclusive character" thing too far. If you buy it on Steam you get a headcrab as the first unlock; anywhere else gets you a goo ball instead. I want both, but the convenience of Steam and the $5 discount if you preorder on there mean I'll get the former.

I'm getting the Xbox 360 version because I can.

I think the 360 version has characters that the PC won't, so there's unique characters no matter what you do. Only a True Fan will see them all.

Goo ball? As in from World of Goo?

Yes, Toad.

And yeah, the 360 version has six exclusive characters. The PC version will have seven, but there'll only be six in any given install. (The Wii version is probably going to have exclusive characters as well if they ever figure out how that's being released, so that's four purchases if you want to play as everyone - super-true fan!)

On another note, the 360 version is getting new levels as free updates, but the PC version will be getting a level editor that'll let you make anything you see in-game except boss levels; while the new levels for the 360 version won't be added for PC, they'll all be replicable in the editor. The best fanmade levels will also be added to the 360 version.

So as a non-360 owner, which version should I get if I only get one?

In any case... Attention, Steam: When a game is:

1) Already out on another system
and
2) Released online in the 21st century

"November" is not an acceptably accurate release date. (At least, that's what it said last I checked)

WarpRattler · « **Reply #21 on:** November 16, 2010, 10:55:08 PM »

If you look at the official site there's a countdown until the game's release. It only went up earlier today because Team Meat just announced the release date earlier today.

Steam's got the $5 discount early 360 buyers got if you preorder, so I've done so.

WarpRattler · « **Reply #23 on:** November 23, 2010, 10:14:47 PM »

New blog post says there's no reason not to buy on Steam - the character previously stated to be exclusive to non-Steam is going to be in that version after all. Hell yeah.

ShadowBrain · « **Reply #24 on:** November 24, 2010, 08:16:41 PM »

Alright, I threw down my preorder today.

Captain Jim · « **Reply #25 on:** November 25, 2010, 03:57:47 AM »

I've preordered as well. Seeing the character list has made me wanna play RunMan again, so I think I will.

WarpRattler · « **Reply #26 on:** November 25, 2010, 08:04:03 AM »

Yeah, I'm going through and playing as many of the games the secret characters come from as I can before it comes out (except I Wanna Be The Guy because it's a bad game).

Really, though, any reason to play through World of Goo and Mighty Jill Off again is a good one.

bobman37 · « **Reply #27 on:** November 26, 2010, 03:55:49 PM »

Holy butts this game is hard.

bobman37 · « **Reply #28 on:** November 27, 2010, 03:52:32 AM »

Seriously guys. This game is mega mega mega mega rape. This is the hardest game I've ever played. Holy crap.
