Super Meat Boy WiiWare Cancelled

[mkoo]

I don't mean to troll, but isn't a Wiiware (or XBLA for that matter) unnecessary when there is a PC version?
Maybe there are people on the West who actually don't own a PC but consoles?

I'd rather play games on a game pad than play games on a keyboard

PC has gamepads too you know..

but still.. not everyone has a pc, so other people like to maybe have it on xbox or wii or whatever

I've been playing the PC version with my PS2 controller for a week.

Here is why they axe'd the wiiware version

It's the system. Tight memory restrictions and no interest from 3rd party publishers because they don't think it would make profit

the pc ver supports the 360 controller

eh, i never cared for downloadable titles.

When i buy a game i want to hold something in my hand. Like a CD, DVD, or a Cartridge.
that way, i know i can turn on my wii and play the game 10 years from now, where i may not be able to get the title i purchased and downloaded again.

The same way i can still play NES games on my NES console. If every title becomes downloadable it will vanish as soon as there is no support for it anymore / no money to be made.

And i do not support this concept. They will never get my $$$ for a download. Actually, they might, if they send me a backup of my download on a cartridge, that i can play in the event of an apocalypse, where nintendo servers have long seized to exist.

Super Meat Boy is only available as a download.

Not to mention a plethora of joypad-keyboard emulators, like Joy2Ley. I prefer a joystick against WASD--guess what I did. Joystick.

Uh no.

QUOTEthe pc ver supports the 360 controller

Which costs an extra $50-$60.

Keyboard is superior anyway, so who gives a shit?


edit: never mind, Console scrubs give a shit.


vvvvvvvv: You know you can customise the controls, right? Well, maybe not in shitty games directly but there's always a way to do it.

Also Super Meat Boy doesn't need you to WASD and shift because you can

Spoiler

use the arrow keys

Believe it or not, I actually can't play with a keyboard. Because of where I have pretty big hands, no matter the size of the keyboard, my fingers hurt too fast.

Like right now, I have standard sized [maybe a little bit bigger] Microsoft Keyboard, I just can't play games on it. I mean, I can play IWBTG or something, but if it requires me to do wasd and shift and all that, like FPS's, can't do it.

I would much rather use a controller of some sort than a keyboard. Controllers are made to fit comfortably in the hand, while a keyboard is only practical and provides little to no comfort unless you pay out the ass for an ergonomic one.


As for the WiiWare cancellation, this blows.

 

[Joe88]

I found the keyboard controls very uncomfortable

 

[ZaeZae64]

I'm used to playing with a keyboard so I had no trouble with Super Meat Boy
Also If you don't have a 360 controller but have a classic controller try this.

I'd agree 99% of the time. This game is that 1% exception. I made it to "The End" using a keyboard, but as soon as I plugged in a controller, my times drastically improved, and levels I just couldn't finish before now became a cakewalk.

I'm hands on with my Super Meat, I prefer a controller over a keyboard.

Odd. I have big hands but don't really have the same problems. However, my friend, whose about the same dimensions as me (height, weight, etc) says his hands start killing him if he types too long. Like we had to make some titles (like overlay stuff that you'd see on a TV production) and his fingers were killing him, while I've sat on a computer for hours on end and typed as fast as I am now. Guess it's just a people thing.

But most PC game makers don't really cater to the hand-hurting demographic. And 360 controllers are not $50-$60, especially if you already own a 360. That is, unless there's another peripheral needed to make the controller compatible.

Steam is repeating some sales today, and Super Meat Boy is back down to $3.75. It's not a Wii version, but it's incredibly cheap, and is the superior version.

I never thought people would be arguing over whether a keyboard or a joypad would be superior for a PLATFORMER!!!!

Seriously, people, the keyboard isn't superior for every genre.
