Super Meat Boy
 

Super Meat Boy was released on Xbox Live Arcade just a while ago and it seems very addicting and fun. If you don't really know about it, here's the teaser trailer for it:



Also, what are people's opinions about it? Has anyone on these forums bought it yet? I'm 70% sure I'll end up buying this sometime, but not for the next week or so, because I'm so gonna buy RDR - Undead Nightmare and Costume Quest!

It also got some pretty damn positive reviews like GameSpot gave it a 9.5.

I've yet to play it, but did watch my friend playing it earlier today. It looked pretty fun, reminds me of a tame IWBTG.

If it's a rather long game, I'd buy it. It looks great. If it's a short game, I'd only buy it maybe 2nd hand if it's really cheap. I really like action and puzzle plat formers, though that doesn't look much like a puzzle game, I was referring to AO and AE there. I think I like plat formers more than the 3D games.

I prefer the original.

Forgive me if you already new of this but I figure the best way for you to get an idea of what Super Meat Boy will be like is to play the prototype; Meat Boy.

Personally, I can say that you are correct. It's very addictive and very fun. Feels great to complete it too.

Not as challenging as IWBTG however.

~Blessed be

You made that stupid joke already in another thread...

Looks like a very difficult platformer.

I've only finished the first world so far, but yeah, it's very good.

I played it about a year ago. http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/463241

Yes. We get it. You played Meat Boy. That's great. But claiming that you played Super Meat Boy because you've played Meat Boy is akin to claiming that you've played Super Mario Bros. because you've played Mario Bros.

Hey, I killed Dr Fetus. If he's back...

YOUR POSTS DON'T MAKE SENSE.

I may buy this on Steam if there's a demo. I'm currently struggling to see the distinction between this and normal Meat Boy. And much as I love to be told what to like by other people, this isn't really the right kind of game for a Let's Play.

He is pretty adorable though. I might pretend to like the game just so I can fawn over the character.

I'm having a hard time getting used to the weight of Meat Boy. He controls very differently from the N+ ninja and Splosion Man. That's not a bad thing. It's just that there's a learning curve there.

I hope 'Splosion Man comes to Steam. That's a game that immediately appealed to me.

It won't. It's published by Microsoft as a 360 exclusive.

Bugger.

But wait! Cockily annoying YouTube user to the rescue!

Watch this instead. This is the guy that beat me in the contest.

PHYSICS!

'SPLOSIONS!

AND 3 DIFFERENT CONTROLS!

What?

Left, Right and 'Splode?

I fear I may have misread their website. I knew somehing like that would happen, just when I start to feel cool.

Probably what you saw is that they offer the ability to map your abilities to the buttons that you want. Which is a joke because every button makes you 'splode.

So you can't even contol when and which way you run?

I MUST HAVE THIS GAME

The analogue stick makes you run, you smart ass.

So there are three controls. It's just that two are covered by the same appendage.

YES FINE THREE CONTROLS

I really meant that thing about liking a commercial game with no control over movement, by the way. That would be awesome.

But the joke's dead. Mood's gone. Move on.

I'm having a hard time choosing which one of these I should buy:

- Super Meat Boy, 800MSP
- Limbo, 1200MSP
- Costume Quest, 1200MSP
- Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, 800MSP

I'm probably going for Costume Quest, but I still really, really want Limbo though.

EDIT: Also, if I spend 2400MSP or more this month, I'll get free 800MSP in November, yay, that'll be enough for Super Meat Boy or Scott!
