Quickly panning to his computer screen during the interview and teasing it, one of our wonderful readers snagged a screen grab so we could share it with the world. Now the real question: Castle Crashers characters playable as well? Hmmmm, McMillen? Hmmm?
(We love you. Please?)
Update: It was pointed out by a few astute Game Informer readers in the comments section that Alien Hominid was actually revealed as a playable character in a recent issue. Sorry, folks!
(Thanks, Zack!)

Edmund McMillen is a good friend of Tom Fulp (Creator of NG and part of Behemoth) and a respected user of the NG Community so I hope for some NG Related Characters.

salad fingers?

I am hoping for more NG defining Characters like Tankmen or P-bot.

Sly @ Jul 5th 2009 8:21PM

Indeed. Only when Super Meat Boy surpasses Super Mario Brothers in sales and quality, then I'll say it that way =p
ZaxCG2 @ Jul 5th 2009 9:02PM
So what you're saying is that it has no chance seeing as how Super Mario Bros. sales was 40 Million+... only game to top it was Wii Sports. I guess we could use SMeB.
heheh.
smeeeeb.

Not to be a party pooper, but wasn't Alien Hominid announced as a playable character quite a while back?
DBuck_Eye @ Jul 5th 2009 9:49PM
Yes. Yes it was.
Ben Gilbert @ Jul 6th 2009 12:55AM
It was revealed by Game Informer a little while ago, apparently. Not sure how we missed it! Thanks for the catch and sorry about that. I've added an update to the post and all that good stuff. Still totally sweet? Yes. Yes it is.

A slightly off topic comment, Is there any more info on the behemoth's crying sugarcube leprechaun game ?
Mr Khan @ Jul 5th 2009 9:45PM
I thought Microsoft had some rights to Braid...
bongoes @ Jul 5th 2009 10:09PM
The game is on Mac's I think. And I heard something about Blow looking in to a PS3 port.
Danny @ Jul 5th 2009 10:00PM
release date??
djbuhhda @ Jul 5th 2009 11:38PM
never heard about this game before, any info on how it plays or when abouts it will be about? cuz with tim and AH im so down for this game already.
Shiaoran @ Jul 5th 2009 11:47PM
I don't see why wouldn't at least the blue knight from Castle Crashers wouldn't be playable. He IS on the flash version after all. (just fix the blue blood, it's weird :P)
Larry @ Jul 6th 2009 12:34AM
Was announced well over a month ago on their blog lol: http://supermeatboy.blogspot.com/. If you're going to make announcements regarding this one, you might wanna just check that out every so often.

So, two (sort of) XBLA characters in a WiiWare game? What's that about?
dark_inchworm (on Steam!) dark inchworm (on XBL!) @ Jul 6th 2009 9:48AM
It's about both characters actually being on several platforms now. XBLA is actually one of the last platforms Alien Hominid appeared on, and Braid has spread out to the PC and Mac at least (but yeah, not to a Nintendo platform).
