Release date(s) October 20, 2010(XBLA), November 2010(PC, Mac, WiiWare)​

As the topic states, this is about the game Super Meat Boy, this is a platformer and a reboot of the Flash game from Newgrounds Meatboy, I myself am so excited for this game and cannot wait till tomorrow.

You can find the Classic Flash version here.

The goal of the game is to make it to your Girlfriend Bandage Girl by going through trap infested levels.

Enjoy your $15 Meatboy mod.
It's not a simple mod, everything has been completely redone, I'm not even sure any levels from the original are back in this one... The creators have stated that not a single piece of artwork has been reused at all.

A reboot fits the description more properly as OP originally stated.

Also, for the Xbox 360, it has been confirmed that it will be 800 mspoints instead of the original 1200 for the first few weeks ($10 instead of $15). The game will feature a chapter called The Internets that includes content that couldn't be squeezed into the main storyline and allows for future FREE DLC to be added soon. The PC version will have a level editor and the creators have stated that they will take the best user-created PC levels after an amount of time and bring them over onto the 360 via The Internets chapter.

It's lookin' good, might blow all the MSPoints that Bing has been giving me for free on this...!

Also, the PC version will come with a level editor, a level will be picked by-weekly and added to "the internets".

Just gonna re-post from another topic, some interesting videos I found in which the two creators of the game are interviewed for an upcoming film, Indie Game: The Movie.

Buying it myself, looks to have had a lot of effort and love put into it and I like to support smaller devs.

This game looks great.
I remember reading about it a month ago. It looks great. I haven't played the original Flash game so it's all new to me. It seems like an awesome platformer. I'll be buying this game. Buying, not pirating.

Won my copy of XBLA Super Meat Boy via Twitter. Pre-release too.

Probably gonna buy it if they put out a physical PC copy since I hate Steam, but still want to support the developers.

    How do you know if the night will be good when you're asleep
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    because i didn't say i was asleep

    i said i was sleeping...
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    sleeping with uremum

    Even my mum slept on that uremum
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
    Karma177 @ Karma177: @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really...
