Meat your doom
You wouldn't believe how much we hated Super Meat Boy at first. We were quick to label this 2D platformer as being needlessly punishing and thought that it was frustrating not because it has devious level design, but because you have to work with flawed gameplay to win.

About The Game
Our meaty hero will leap from walls, over seas of buzz saws, through crumbling caves and pools of old needles. Sacrificing his own well being to save his damsel in distress. Super Meat Boy brings the old school difficulty of classic titles like Mega Man 2, Ghost and Goblins and SuperMario Bros. 2 (The Japanese one) and stream lines them down to the essential no BS straightforward twitch reflex platforming.
Ramping up in difficulty from hard to soul crushing SMB will drag Meat boy though haunted hospitals, salt factories and even hell itself. And if 300+ single player levels weren't enough SMB also throws in epic boss fights, a level editor and tons of unlock able secrets, warp zones and hidden characters.
Last week, Team Meat revealed on their Twitter page that Super Meat Boy will be released on the Nintendo Switch on January 11th, 2018. In addition to having the frustratingly-fun platformer available anywhere, the Nintendo Switch version will receive Race Mode.
Race Mode is a brand new competitive mode where two players compete against each other in split screen through individual chapters, randomized levels, or the entire game with both light world and dark world included. There is currently no word on whether this mode is exclusive to local multiplayer or includes online play as well.
Super Meat Boy will be available on the Nintendo Switch for $14, which is how much the WiiU version of the game costs. Releasing this game is one last hurrah before the long awaited sequel, Super Meat Boy Forever, is released on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and mobile devices later this year.
