When I first saw the World 1 boss of Super Meat Boy, I just assumed that the game would have you to going up against one of Dr. Fetus's giant machines on a semi-regular basis. That's how Dr Wily and Dr Robotnik roll, so why would Dr Fetus be any different? I'm delighted to say that I was wrong. Super Meat Boy wont be that cliche', as proven by the giant, cannibalistic, humanoid, adorable dweller you see before you.
C.H.A.D. is this thing's name, and you'll met him at the end of World 2. As you can see, he looks like Meat Boy, but much bigger, and with teeth that have clearly been around the block a few times. I wonder what the guy eats? Probably meat.
The press will get to fight C.H.A.D. at E3 2010, and you know I'll be there to give you some hand-on video coverage. Super Meat Boy is set to hit XBLA, Steam, and WiiWare sometime this year.

And I can recommend Rocket Knight if you want some retro 2D action to keep you busy in the meantime."
Funny you should say that because I think this game looks great and the only thing putting me off getting Rocket Knight is the horrific looking stylised 3D. I'd have much preferred sprite work.
In all seriousness this game is definitely keeping my attention.
As things currently stand, they're going to leave out all multiplayer and online-driven content from the WiiWare release. I hope the price reflects that, though.
Maybe someday though.
Run button? Evil Mario Bros? Sweet. I think you just re-sold me on it, considering I was a little taken aback by the flash game's impossible keyboard controls and somethings the developer said/did that made them seem a little douche-esque.
@ GohanGVO
Thank you for the info! Considering I didn't know there were going to be online or multiplayer features, I guess I'm okay with them being omitted. Single player platforming reflects my style more anyway.
Super mario games online Picking this up and will judge it myself.
