Super Meat Boy Featurette & More

Posted by Brandon "BMcC" McCartin Sat, 08 Aug 2009 13:49:00 GMT

Just a quick little post—here’s a Super Meat Boy Nintendo Channel Featurette with Tommy and Edmund blabbing about the upcoming WiiWare title, which is promised to be “the most epic game ever, that ever will be.”

UPDATE: Another video I missed, featuring stills of the latest build as well as one of DannyB’s excellent tracks, after the jump!

Tasty.

    Look at that face! Tommy was made for the screen.

  2. Glaiel Gamer said 15 minutes later:

    Lol you can almost smell how much Tommy hates doing interviews in that video.

  3. Dinsdale said 22 minutes later:

    Dear Lord…

  4. Eclipse said 27 minutes later:

    the baldest coder ever, that ever will be

  5. Dusty Spur said about 1 hour later:

    I wish Tommy would have suppressed his laughter. Seeing him say that stuff with a straight face would have been amazing.

  6. schripper said about 2 hours later:

    Most epic game ever? You shouldn’t say that, ever.

  7. Nava said about 3 hours later:

    Haha, the best part was Edmund feeding Tommy lines about the game from off-screen. Pure excellence.

  8. Scott said about 4 hours later:

    of course it’s going to look bad if you say its the most epic ever

  9. Corpus said about 5 hours later:

    Of course you’re going to look bad if you’re not tipped off to the fact that someone’s joking by their sniggering.

  10. Tommunism said about 6 hours later:

    yea…I had to be mid talking about something when the youtube half way point happened! And, it will be the most epic game ever guaranteed.

  11. Vincent said about 6 hours later:

    Awesome!

    These guys are completely crazy. They live their games and walk around in butchers-workwear.

  12. Edmund said about 6 hours later:

    Why didnt you post the video with the new Danny B music and ingame screen shots!?

    N+ RIP OFF!!!

    also the artist guy looks like a fat elija wood!

  13. undertech said about 7 hours later:

    I know! I wonder what he looks like naked, hmm?

  14. Tommunism said about 7 hours later:

    I can’t get over how fucking hot I look in that screencap of the video.

  15. Tommunism said about 7 hours later:

    I can’t get over how fucking hot I look in that screencap of the video.

  16. Derek said about 7 hours later:

    LOL best still frame.

  17. BMcC said about 7 hours later:

    You look like you’re about to backhand the interviewer.

    “How dare you mention Cave Story.”

  18. BMcC said about 8 hours later:

    UPDATED with stuff from the actual game!

  19. ben said about 9 hours later:

    Epic ?

    pff a lot of blood to compromise the lack of any artistic skill, like animating or drawing..

  20. dannyBstyle said about 9 hours later:

    yea, EDMUND

    don’t you know that blood is UNCREATIVE

    maybe if meat boy excreted party favors and travel brochures, it would be EPIC

    until then, more like SUPER RIP-OFF-OF-THE-CIRCULATORY-SYSTEM BOY

  21. Nicholas Lee said about 11 hours later:

    ben,

    “Compromise” does not mean what you think it means.

  22. Rad said about 13 hours later:

    I’m an indie gamer, but I think I’ll criticize Edmund becuase he obviously doesn’t know what he’s doing.

  23. Dusty Spur said about 18 hours later:

    dannyBstyle is a pretty cool guy.

    And I am totally not admitting that I almost got fooled by Edmund’s post.

  24. Eclipse said about 19 hours later:

    <3<3 EDMUND&TOMMY <3<3

  25. Pete said 1 day later:

    I wonder if matt from Matt Makes Games is totally pissed off right now that you stole his whole thing and you got on wii-ware and he didnt. He needs money to live!!!!!!

  26. Ogmo said 1 day later:

    This was a good game. I wonder where the got the idea to make meat boy a square and have him jump

  27. if you read interviews with ed said 1 day later:

    you would discover that he first played jumper after he made meat boy. no rip off, also does ogmo leave a trail of blood wherever he goes?

  28. Guy said 1 day later:

    Looks like a nice game, though climbing and sliding on walls was already made in knytt, so its not something new. So I am looking forward to see what other game mechanics this game has. Or maybe I can’t judge the difference by the screenshots and short video anyway.

  29. Movius said 1 day later:

    Can I play as a digital pen?

  30. hey guy said 1 day later:

    climbing and sliding on walls was first done decades ago. does every game need to be innovative? just a thought. also, play the flash prototype< its cool

  31. Guy said 1 day later:

    No, I definitely don’t think games need to be innovative. In matter of fact, I believe ideas are worthless and what matters is implementation.

  32. Guy said 1 day later:

    Argh, that level with intervaling crumbling squares with saw behing them!

  33. MasterShake said 1 day later:

    Guy said 1 day later:

    No, I definitely don’t think games need to be innovative. In matter of fact, I believe ideas are worthless and what matters is implementation.

    The entire crux behind Cave Story.

  34. Sparky said 1 day later:

    What this video doesn’t reveal is that those aprons were covered with the entrails of unfortunate members of the GDC attending populace who Tommy and Edmund sacrificed to the blood god.

  35. Dusty Spur said 1 day later:

    Sparky, that is SUCH a Dungeon Crawl ripoff. GOD WHY DON’T YOU BE ORIGINAL FOR A CHANGE HUH BUB

  36. 7seven said 1 day later:

    I am very disappointed to see Jon Blow working on such a standard platformer game, a genre that should be left in the past IMHO. I thought he was better than that! And his alias “tommy refenes” isn’t fooling anyone.

    Get with the program, Jon!

  37. Kobel said 1 day later:

    This game isn’t even out yet, but I’ve SOLVED it. IT HAS FLAWS. I’M GOING TO TELL PEOPLE… ON THE INTERNETS!

  38. Guy said 1 day later:

    Kobel, there is very simple solution to these kind of comments. Disable comments all together.

  39. alastair said 1 day later:

    you are amazing edmund

  40. davidp said 1 day later:

    haha, awesome interview, especially the ending. best game ever :D

  41. Bob Saget said 1 day later:

    I want to nuzzle up with Tommy’s bald magical indie head.

  42. FISH said 1 day later:

    it’s too expensive.

  43. Eclipse said 2 days later:

    Meatboy looks a lot like the jumper protagonist, that’s true, but jumper is only a platformer, it hasn’t something to clone. Said that, i find both meatboy (the character) and the one in Jumper quite ugly. I’ll buy the game (on PC) because Edmund knows how to do entertaining games

  44. Reality said 2 days later:

    “the most epic game ever, that ever will be.”

    ??

    How about a little humbleness for fuck’s sake, everything is the greatest thing ever, how about letting your work speak for itself.

  45. Lurker said 2 days later:

    Wow… lots of flames directed at a game involving a sack of meat.

    Barbecue, anyone?

  46. BMcC said 2 days later:

    @Reality: How about understanding when someone is obviously kidding around?

  47. Holyschnitz said 2 days later:

    Wow, what the heck is wrong with all of the angry people here? All of the kidding around is great but guys like “Reality” need to wake up to reality and realize that part of the interview was just plain humorous. “WHY SO SERIOUS?”

    @Edmund,

    Okay, I just had two brilliant ideas for new meatboy characters that could be unlocked, ready???

    The Joker as Meatboy (with quotes and laughter)

    AND

    Ron Jeremy as Meatboy (get it, Meat-boy… man-Meat???) uhhh… I don’t know where that came from. Anyway, I think it would be great to see a fat, aging, cheesy mustached, greesy & hairy, porn star Meatboy…

    Come to think of it… Is that where Shigeru Miyamoto got his idea for Mario??? MY GOD, I’ve had an Epiphany!!!

    MARIO IS REALLY RON JEREMY!!!!!!

  48. Reality said 2 days later:

    I apologize for the misunderstanding. What really pissed me off was the word “epic”, it’s such an overused blanket when describing games and their features…

  49. BMcC said 2 days later:

    Ah, definitely. But did you see the video? Tommy starts cracking up right after. :P

  50. True-But... said 2 days later:

    Yes okay Reality we understand, but, Ron Jeremy IS Super Mario!!!! That’s epic!
