Been interested in this since it was shown on Co-Op a while ago.

Here's the Meat Boy original flash game - http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/463241

Here's what Super Meat Boy will be like:

Just announced for XBLA as well as WiiWare, due for sometime this year. :)

The free downloadable chapter for the Xbox Live Arcade version of rock hard 2D platformer Super Meat Boy is a "f**k you" to the system of paying for DLC, the developer has said.

The Xbox-exclusive chapters, part of The Internets package, will be free to download because of what's called Title Managed Storage (TMS), a Microsoft feature that allows developers to add new chapters to games whenever they feel like it.

"In a world where it costs $2 to unlock content in a game that you've already purchased it is nice to have the power to totally say f**k you to that system and go our own way," said Team Meat on its site

"As we upload content there are no micro transactions to play new chapters and we can basically do whatever we want with these chapters and it costs you, our adoring fans, nothing. We love you."

Super Meat Boy launches on 20th October on XBLA. Team Meat – made up of developers Edmund McMillen and Tommy Refenes - is yet to announce a release date for the free DLC, but did share some details.

"Each internets chapter contains 20 levels and can be tailored to allow all characters to play them, or lock in a specific character allowing us to create levels that only certain characters can defeat using their special abilities."

Team Meat also explained the DLC's Xbox 360 exlcusivity.

"Before we all start to bitch and moan about this, know that in order for the game to come out on XBLA, we had to offer something exclusive and this was the best and coolest option for us," said the tiny studio.

"Also, quite frankly, Title Managed Storage on Xbox Live took all of the difficult parts of getting this system up and running out of my hands. It literally took me a week to implement the Internets Chapter fully, that's a huge deal for what it is."

So there you go.

Paging Valve to the thread, come in Valve.

Also, this is out soon, well looking forward to it. :D

Wow. I don't think it's for me though.

I played a version of this on the PC a few years ago and the structure felt rather repetitive, and the constant deaths just got boring atfter a while. I might have a go at the trial when it comes out, to see what they've added to it.

A couple of the guys from this are working on a PC indie compilation called No Quarter I'm interested in when it's eventually finished. Especially 'Hitlers Must Die'.

800 points on release now apparently, then being put up to 1200 later. which sort of makes it free with the deal this month (i've already spent 1600 on the hendrix tracks) so i'll probably get it, even though i expect it'll drive me insane like N+ did :fist:

edit - and i never even got anywhere near finishing N+.

But.. hang on. Will it still count towards 2400 if it is discounted at launch? I bought a load of Mass Effect 2 and Gears 2 stuff on DotW and they don't count, and I've been counting on this rebate, I'm getting Costume Quest (whick I believe is 1200), and the only other thing I've got is the L4D2 DLC (560 I think), so 800 points will get me over 2400, but only if it counts..

Bah.

Costume Quest is next week.

They changed their mind on the get-800-points-back thing - deal of the week things count too.

Purchase at least 2400 Microsoft Points worth of Xbox LIVE Arcade and/or Game add-on content between 12:01 A.M. Eastern Standard Time (EST) October 1 and 11:59 pm EST October 31, 2010 and receive 800 Microsoft Points added automatically to your membership. Limit one gift per person. The free points will be deposited automatically into your Xbox LIVE account after the end of the promotion period. Please allow four weeks for delivery, on or around November 30, 2010.

I want this inside me.
