Super Meat Boy Launching in January on Switch With Brand New Race Mode

Awesome news! Been waiting for SMB since its announcement, and the additional Race Mode will suit Switch down to the ground.

Wow they are really milking this cow until the udders are dried.

Mudds Super Challenge is enough of the super hard platforming genre for me for awhile.

@JHDK I’d say Mutant Mudds Super Challenge is a fair bit more challenging than Super Meat Boy. Others may feel differently, but either way, both are extremely rewarding a highly recommended for old skool platform fans.

I hope it has the original soundtrack. That is all

Nice that it isn't just a port, but has a new mode. That ought to quiet all but the most stubborn "I hate ports" people. Of which I see a lot of now that it is much harder to complain about the Switch having no games or no 3rd party support. lol

I am sure the haters will find something to whine about though.

Looking forward to it!

I'm racist, so this is a hard pass.

@Nincompoop personally I wish more developers adopted this mentality of “let’s put our game in as many platforms as possible”. I don’t see any issue with it, and one gets to choose in which one(s) to play it.

Kind of an old game at this point, Super Meat Boy was a pretty big deal when it came out back in 2010. I don't feel like there is much for me to go back for, and I always found the game hard to the point that it's eventually off-putting. I guess it's neat for people who missed it, but I feel like they should have made a sequel by now, which they are apparently making for the Switch next year as well.

Personally, I am just going to wait for the sequel, Super Meat Boy Forever. It's coming out the same year, and it is actually a new game.

The worst game ever imo. Bought it back on xbox 360. I wasted money. I guess fun for fans though....

I was really hoping this would happen, now we will have all of the essential Team Meat purchases on one system! And I will be picking every one of them up.

@Alucard83 The worst game ever?

I didn't get around to buying this on Wii U so am looking forward to this. Let's just try not to break any controllers now.

@kepsux It's one of those games that you gotta be a really hardcore gamer to enjoy. I could never really get into it myself.

I missed this game on the Wii U as it came out close to the Wii U's funeral so I may check it out when it hit the Switch next year.

I'm currently playing this game on PC and, wow, it's really worth the praise. Very unique, challenging as hell, but very rewarding. One thing it doesn't get enough credit for is its placement of secrets and optional content. The game is not really that hard... unless you want to also complete the (optional) Dark World.

I'm gonna hold out for the retail edition. They say it'll be worth it.

Super Meet Boy? Cool, must be a new Japanese dating sim

Finally! Now all we need a new left joycon with a propper d-pad in place of the thumbpad. I want to play side scrolers the old-school style on the go.

Never got to complete it. I think I'll do that before moving on to The End Is Nigh !

Meat Boy got old real fast. Very few retro games had a one-touch-and-you're-dead rule with no exceptions. It's just tedious and mind numbing.

@Prizm What do retro games have to do with anything? Super Meat Boy is from the 7th generation. It's not a retro game.

@victimOfNirvana - It's a game that intentionally mimics many aspects of retro platformer games, but my point is that one-touch death was very uncommon in typical 8-bit games.

@Prizm Isn't that enough if a hint to you that your assumption is wrong? Super Meat Boy doesn't mimic retro games at all, except for the secret stages in which Meat Boy enters a warp zone, but even then, only the visuals (and the lives limit) become retro. The gameplay is still the same. I've been gaming since the 90's, and I've never seen a retro game like Super Meat Boy.

You are totally entitled to your tastes. It's certainly a niche game. But you don't need to rationalize those tastes, much less so by stating that the game didn't meet expectations it never set out to meet.

yak yak yak that's way too long of a reply for such a trivial issue

@wazlon I was playing the end is nigh, and I was just about to that point with my joycons
