Three Super Meat Boy tracks coming to Rock Band Network
21
The indefatigable Danny Baranowsky -- soundtrack composer for both Canabalt and Super Meat Boy, among others -- confirmed to us this morning that three tracks from Super Meat Boy are headed to the Rock Band Network. "The Battle of Lil' Slugger" and "Can o' Salt" will be released as remixed, extended versions, while "Betus Blues" is getting a retro remix for the RBN release.
"I wanted to have some stuff in there for the people who delight in 100-percenting expert Dragonforce," Baranowsky told us of the remixes. From what we heard this morning of the extended, retro-ized "Betus Blues," we expect those folks to be handily challenged (as well as thoroughly entertained). No release date or price has been applied to the tracks yet, but the pack's author has them pegged as arriving "soon" -- it also labels them as coming to RBN 2.0, so we'd expect the tracks to arrive some time after February 15.

Oh man. Was really hoping they would put up Hot Damned. Especially after this beast of a cover:

@kph59 Just because "the best" is not chosen, doesn't mean amazing selections weren't made.
Really, I am excited and would be with pretty much any songs from the game.

@CaptainProtonX it seems like the Wii wont be getting the slightest taste of Super Meat Boy, even in music form. :(

@mguniverse It doesn't help that the Left 4 Dead, Splosion Man and I Made a Game With Zombies In It songs are stuck on 360.
Yo harmonix, just 'cause I have a PS3 doesn't mean I don't like those songs! Take my money already!

Interesting. Maybe it will start a trend of indie game songs hitting Rockband Network?

@Dizazter Between Splosion Man's Music and I Made A Game With Zombie's In It's 10 minute theme, I'd say its already a trend!

RBN 2.0? So that means it will get Keyboard support? Nice

@Nap Indeed they will! I'm actually splitting up Betus Blues right now for optimal "you've gotta be kidding"-ness on keys. The others we take what Danny gives, but electronica means wiggle room.

I did not know he did Canabalt. No wonder that music was so awesome!
