nevermind nintendo. edmund and tommy would probably opt for lesser known indie characters anyways.

i'm hoping for the archaeologist from la-mulana as a playable character. the wii version could also include commander video and goo.

[Deluxe]

Yeah, that All Stars re-release was such a shitty move on Nintendo's part. If it played by the rules of the Virtual Console it would have only been about $8. BUT IT HAS A CD INCLUDED SO ITS TOTALLY WORTH IT.

Haha, but Super Meat Boy would actually be worth it. I'm not a fanboy but I hope they call it Super Meat Boy Deluxe and include exclusive content. Not for me, but just to spite the OP.

I'd forgotten about dual layer. I use a USB loader for my Wii so I don't have to bother with my discs. I remember now that the the Prime trilogy took ages to upload. On the other hand, New Super Mario Bros Wii only took up 0.34 GB of memory.  

edit: and i like your idea about including a .wad with the steam version. My idea to Edmund on twitter was much more sinister. I proposed he just anonymously "leak" the .wad online and just let that be the end of it. I'm perfectly fine getting SMB through legit channels though. It just sucks having to wait while everyone else is having fun.

Hi. I consider myself a hardcore platform junkie. My only current gen console is my Wii. I'm thankful for games like Bit.Trip Runner and DK Returns, but I crave Super Meat Boy more than anything else. I've played the newgrounds flash game on my PC and after 20 minutes or so my laptop gets really hot. The PC version does not interest me, nor do I want to buy a 360.

I'm probably one of the few people who have considered buying a 360 solely for Super Meat Boy. It'd be kind of ridiculous to have a $200+ Super Meat Boy machine though. I could get Limbo too I guess...

I follow SMB's twitter and it seems like Edmund has some news about the Wii version. I think GDC is near the end of February. I've been patient enough already so I'm going to continue to wait. A full retail release for the Wii would make me feel a lot better. I'll be honest. I felt kind of pissed off. The title was originally announced for the Wii, so it is understandable that some Wii owners are pissed off that it made it to virtually every other platform first.

I understand the limitations Edmund and Tommy were dealing with. Nintendo's file size limitations are probably the biggest hindrance of WiiWare and do more bad than good. I really hope the retail disc is jam packed with goodies. I believe a Wii disc is the same as 360, allowing for about 4GB of data.

tl;dr version:

Reggie Fils Aime as a playable character- confirmed.
<<<3 SMB enough to join this forum but don't even have the game. I have only been privileged enough to play it on my roommates 360 when he's not home.

This would have been my game of the year but I just have a Wii so I never got a shot at this game. Fuck Nintendo's irrational file size limitations. Game of the year for me was Pokemon Soulsilver and DK Returns.

DK Returns has a difficulty curve on par with Meat Boy in some respects, especially if you're going for the Gold medals in the time trials.

Whenever I try to download Super Meat Boy from the Wii Shop Channel it doesn't show up as being available. Am I doing something wrong? I don't have a 360 or a PC that can run this game. When this was announced for the Wii I was really excited but I think I'm doing something wrong.
