Forums - Nintendo - Super Meat Boy WiiWare canceled!

arggg, I've been eating nothing but yogurt for the past 3 weeks, and not a lot of it either, I could really go for a steak about now.



I HAVE A DOUBLE DRAGON CAB IN MY KITCHEN!!!!!!

NOW A PUNISHER CAB!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nintendo should really up the silly size limit.... not just for the sake of this game and animales de la muerte and marvel vs. capcom 2 but for many other games that the service could enjoy.... really it just feels like they are dragging their feet for no good reason when it comes to downloadable games... not even allowing patches... I would have bought LIT if they allowed the european update for the US version...

and don't even get me started on DEMOS! after years of "playing is believing" and "games have to be experienced" from their PR....  they just come off as hypocritical about that...



Until you've played it, every game is a system seller!

I saw that coming. But how is this a loss?

Because... Wii owners wont be able to enjoy it? Well, we can still enjoy Super Tofu Boy.

Do you want to imply that we actually need Super Meat Boy after we just got Donkey Kong Country Returns?

Yes so you find out what a great game is =p.

Honestly this is a loss considering the game is an must have :s..

Not unexpected, really.  Stupid 42mb limits...


The biggest N64 games were 62 mega bytes. Most were smaller. For a game like that, they should have no problem compressing the game or doing something to decrease the size. The fact that they couldn't meet that limit for a downloadable is telling of the game. Most likely the game was full of fluff (or they just suck).

From what I've read, this was kind of planned. Remember that this was a Wiiware exclussive at one point. However, over time they moved it slowly to the 360. For whatever reason, they planned on making it a 360 game. Truth is, they should have easily been able to shrink the game to meet that limit. The fact they didn't tells me that they didn't try.

Not sure why anyone would care. From what I've seen, this game look bad and the characters are garbage. This is actually a gain, not a loss.


If it was bad it would not get a better a Metacritic score than DKC...

Super Meat boy 90
Donkey Country Returns 87

They probably made it for XBLA for the same reason Retro City Rampage is going to XBLA: to make money. The dev of Retro City Rampage didn't think he'd make much money if he kept it only on WiiWare, and considering how Nintendo puts these dumb restrictions on WiiWare and does little to nothing to draw attention to it, make it a pretty viable reason to put it on another platform.

But lemme do a quick recap here. Not only do you know the quality of the game without ever having played it, you also have judged said quality to be unworthy of being played by other Wii owners. Do you realize how dumb that sounds? How acting like something getting cancelled for your platform is a good thing because you didn't like it is facepalm worthy to put it mildly.

and... you fail to see the point of the remark.

it's about how wii games are rated, not about how hd ones are, so instead of degrading meat, the comment was bumping up DK.
