Super Meat Boy PC Special Edition art is radical, dudes photo

This image of Super Meat Boy, Bandage Girl, and Dr. Fetus is effing insane for all the right reasons. It's easy to forget there was a time when box art was used more to guide your imagination than anything else. The games themselves were rendered so simplistically back then that it was on the player to extrapolate.

So yeah, not only is the picture itself great, but it's being used for the PC Special Edition, which we now have some details for. It will be printed and sold through the game's official site and include some nice bonus content: behind-the-scenes videos, design sketches, illustrations, and previously unseen characters and art.

Team Meat is aiming for the end of January and looking at a price of around $20 to $25.

Do this for the 360 version and I will gladly shit out 25 bucks for it.

This is a thing that would instantly make my 360 collection complete, most likely forever.

I finally had some points to buy this on xbla.
But it went up to 1200.
I really wanna grab it but not for that price personally they should have just kept it at 800 points.

@Jawmuncher: the game deserves that price tag, you ate just mad that you can't pay it.

This is the only 'photo realism' all games should strive for.

"there was a time when box art was used more to guide your imagination than anything else"

And in the case of US box art, be as ugly and inappropriate as possible.

Bought this on Steam and have been absolutely loving it.

Totally going to re-buy it just for this cover art.

Shit, if Wii gets any more cool things I won't have an excuse to play my 360 or PS3... they're so lonely. Especially my PS3. :(
