Meat Boy is a free Flash game released on Newgrounds last October. Sort of a bloodier N+, players control the titular hero through platforming challenges in order to meet up with his lady friend. Has he jumps around he leaves messy puddles of blood on the floor and walls. The game is labeled "mature" and includes "mild nudity, mild violence, and adult themes." Now those are three things you don't find on WiiWare very often.
It will be interesting to see how this, the original Meat Boy Flash game, translates to WiiWare.That is apparently going to change, though, as an official website for Super Meat Boy (a sequel perhaps?) has popped up that is emblazoned with the WiiWare logo. Based on actual events, the downloadable game is scheduled for release late this year. The original Meat Boy allowed players to create their own levels, a feature we'd love to see in the WiiWare release.
The Flash game is good fun, so take it for a spin and see why we're keeping an eye on this one.
