Select the one that applies to you. If more than one applies to you, vote for whichever option is most prominent but say so in a post.

I knew of and played games of quite a few of the unlockeable characters. But others, like flywrench and Jill piqued my interest so I read up on them. I hope they might implement a few more in future updates that have unique traits, but don't break levels.

Already played all the indie games/characters that appeared in both versions, except Pink Knight, Commander Video and Alien Hominid. Is it obvious i don't have a console? :P

They have awesome powers, but I really don't care for the games they come. It's not that they suck, I'm just not interested.

Whilst true, the "Alien Hominid" game itself was released onto consoles

Ahhh newgrounds.... used to be so into that site xD

Only characters I really knew of before Meat boy were the Ninja, Pink Night, Head crab, Captain Viridian, Ogmo, Steve, and the Kid. The others I had never seen before.

Goo Ball (World of Goo was amazing)

Pink Knight (Castle Crashers looks amazing, but my lack of PS3/360 isn't very helpul )
Tim (Braid looks interesting)
Ninja (Had just barely heard of N+ before)
Josef
  • Who?
Naija
Jill
Flywrench
Ogmo


There you have it

I knew about them all except for Jill and Flywrench, but they were announced pretty early, so I was able to play their games before Meat Boy hit.  Also Aquaria very well be the greatest indie game of all time

I gotta say I am new to the indy game community and didn't know a lot of them.
But following the Let's Plays of "Raocow" at least let me know of Runman and the Captain

But yeah, everone I didn't know of I checked and played most of the games. I am actually going to buy machinarium, Josephs game.
A lot of great games got their indy characters in Meat Boy and I still have to play a few of these!
