As part of the Xbox June Showcase, Super Meat Boy, the infamous tough-as-nails platformer, was revealed, IN 3D! Coming to Xbox Series X|S, Xbox PC, and Xbox ...
This does look a lot more faithful to the gameplay of the original than that weird mobile game they made a couple years ago. I’m sure the move to 3d means the precision won’t be quite as demanding, but hopefully the extra dimension will make up for that with interesting new challenges.
I truly drank my fill of the first game. I found it to be an exemplary of “generous” game development with all the unlockable characters and the “dark/ hell world” and the unlockable lo-fi mini-version of the game, and IMO you can see that generosity also in how it influenced future successful games such as Celeste (also has a fun lo-fi pico8 version of itself for instance). ugh I just loved it so much. no I’m down for them to make a 3D game. I would die for them

Hot take. I’m excited this is going 3d. I think it has a chance to outshine the original and give it extra depth.
Also random question, wtf is Xbox PC? Is that just their branding of the PC version? Or is it exclusively on their store/client?
It’s like an indie developer going from super Mario world to Mario 64. I dig.
I guesz they mean the Xbox app on PC
So no steam release? Lame.
It’s on steam too.
Woo!
Very excited for this!
I love the look of it!
I’m in. Loved the first one and this looks fun too.
Definitely an improvement from super meat boy forever but i dont think it will be better than the original
Looks alright, but I would still rather have a sequel to the original than more weird spinoffs in my opinion.
