[Update:Some of you asked ifSuper Meat Boy: The Gamewill be an iOS exclusive. Official comment from Team Meat- “anything is possible.. but yeah its not exclusive at all“]
Here is some old news that been newly confirmed. What took so long for the confirmation? Between the chaos of Dtoid’s dating site taking over the world, sifting through all the April Fool’s jokes that went live that day, and interviewingMutant MuddsdeveloperJools Watsham forSup Holmes?, this one just got lost in the shuffle. That’s not an excuse, just an explanation.
You can thankLisanne Pajot and James Swirski(directors ofIndie Game: The Movie) for reminding us thatSuper Meat Boyis coming to iOS is a newly imagined form. They re-announced the game ata recent screening of their film(expect an interview with the directors on Dtoid next week) andMeat BoycreatorEdmund McMillenhas gone on to restate that the news is legit. According to Edmund,Super Meat Boyon iOS “…will be a 100% new game that wont totally play like SMB, but will embody what SMB was at its core. New art, new music, new engine, and whole new look as well as a new take on the SMB story“. He’s calling itSuper Meat Boy: The Game. It even hasits own font!
GivenTeam Meat‘s past statementsregarding the iOS marketplace, it was easy to think this was all a joke. I’m guessing thatSuper Meat Boy: The Gamewill end up being a hybrid between self-satire and an earnest effort to combine the strengths ofMeat Boyconcept and the iOS platform. Sounds good to me! We’ll be keeping a close eye onSuperMeatBoy.comfor further news on the game’s development.
