Super Meat Boy
Super Meat Boy has been confirmed to have a May 12 release date in North America, on the same day as Europe.
Super Meat Boy will cost $14 / £13 / €14 at launch, which is a 20% discount. The discount will last until May 26.
The game will take 233MB of memory space in your Wii U.
Along with Super Meat Boy’s release on Wii U, the announcement contained an interesting section which seems to tease a 3DS version. Here’s the relevant part of the press release that suggest that:
Super Meat Boy launched in 2010 on Xbox 360 and PC, and was immediately labeled as a definitive work in the sub-genre of brutally difficult platformers. Since then, gamers all over the world have been waiting to play it on other platforms. It was finally released on PS4 and Vita last year and with the Wii U version arriving this month, only the 3DS will be missing (but maybe not for too long ;)) Gotta catch them all!
Below you can find footage from the game running on the Wii U.
