Edmund McMillen, creator of indie hits like Gish and Independent Games Festival award nominee Coil, has announced an updated remake of one of his deep cuts, co-created with Jon McEntee: the Newgrounds Flash game Meat Boy, a platformer similar to Metanet's N series, but with more persistent blood dripping. McMillen announced the game on his blog as a release for Mac, PC, and a "secret" platform. And then the official website opened, featuring a prominent WiiWare logo. According to the blog entry, the game should be out "by the end of the year".
World of Goo sent a clear message: if you are a known indie developer who likes it when people give you money and then download and play your games, perhaps you should consider WiiWare.

Why does N get all the love. As great a game as it is, Jumper came first. Odd that Meat Boy has so much in common with Ogmo.

Check Jumper, Jumper Redux, Jumper Two, and Jumper Three out. They are some seriously kick ass platformers. (Dim and Flail as well, amazing games!)

Also, hell yes. This game has wicked art. Flash version is fun and all, but I can't wait for the full version.

Edmund McMillan's art is super rad.
I wasn't really a fan of Meat Boy, though.
If he was to release a full Cereus Peashy game, however...
