Ladies and gentlemen, this is a platformer. Fantastic wall-jumping wall-sliding action, brutal difficulty, tons of characters, collectible out-of-the-way items, secret mini-game worlds, references to classic videogames, references to tons of hit indie games, a really cool Light World/Dark World structure, and most importantly it screams its own name at the title screen.

Hey, at least he didn't call it "Why Don't Any of You People Have Super Meat Boy".

I'm holding out for the Steam release.

I haven't seen anything like this before. Looks pretty tough, I might check it out.

My roommate told me about it. It looks pretty good.

Is this an XBLA game?

WarpRattler · « **Reply #6 on:** October 21, 2010, 06:14:01 PM »

Yeah, it came out on XBLA this week. Also WiiWare, and it's coming to PC at some point later on (which is when I'll buy it).

A good way to describe this game is "N+ at 3x speed".

A really neat feature is that when you beat a level, it shows you a replay of all your attempts at the level at the same time. So on a hard level, you'll see a giant herd of your 40 previous failed runs all hurtling to their dooms at once.

Yes! .. wait, that's a good feature? XD

It sounds like fun. Maybe after we get our wireless working again, I can download..

Oh [dukar].

Definitely buying this game.

Saw this on the SMB Twitter today. I wasn't sure which thread it belongs in, but finally decided: (going to call it spoilers just to be safe)

I am going to buy the crap out of this game.

I saw that it got butt good reviews, so like a cheap guy who doesn't have any Xbox points at the moment, I played its precursor Meat Boy. If Meat Boy is indicative of the quality of Super Meat Boy, I will buy it.

As a newbie 360 owner, Solid, you may be interested to know that all XBLA games have trial versions.

bobman37 · « **Reply #13 on:** November 07, 2010, 12:15:33 PM »

Free trial versions, to be more specific. I played the trial of Super Meat Boy and I'm buying it the instant I get off for winter break.

Yeah, I know. It was just easier for me to play the flash game immediately after reading the SMB review since I was already on my computer.

On an unrelated matter, I find it strangely endearing that you described me as a "newbie" and not a "noob." It makes me feel like I have the potential to be an awesome Xbox 360 owner.
