Super Meat Boy "Ultra Edition" Detailed

You always wanted a poster of the PC version's box art, right?

At a GDC panel in San Francisco, Team Meat showed of a special version of Super Meat Boy in a box, a so-called “Ultra Edition” of the PC retail release that’s poised to hit stores across North America. Shortly after, Team Meat used its Twitter account to show off the box art for this edition, which helped to shed more light on what makes it so “ultra.”

In a nutshell, Ultra Edition is a collector’s edition that includes the standard variety of special items: an art book, a soundtrack, and so on. The catch here is that this version of the game will only cost 20 dollars when it hits later this April.

== TEASER ==Here’s what you’ll get via Joystiq, who touched base with Team Meat after seeing the content teases on the front of the game's box art:

  • A 40-page art booklet that incorporates SMB information and also Team Meat’s comics.  
  • The game’s soundtrack and some other audio files  
  • A poster of the PC box art 

Not a bad collection for 20 bucks, eh? Joystiq reports that this will see a release in stores beyond just Wal-Mart and Amazon, so keep your eyes peeled later this April.  Here's  what the front of the Ultra Edition will look like, by the way:

Have this on XLBA and on Steam and would gladly pay for this again. The poster alone is worth the $20

I suppose I'm not entitled to get this stuff digitally because I bought the game early on Steam. Whatever.

Sweet! I stopped just short of buying the game on Steam when it was temptingly discounted, so I'll just grab this off Amazon when it comes out.
 
Though, I am a little apprehensive. I hear it's hard as balls, and even though I enjoy platformers I am not very good at them at all.

As hard as the game is, it's forgiving in how it lets you get better if that makes any sense. The levels are only seconds long, you appear at the start instantly every time you die, and you can skip levels to complete a chapter if you need to. That being said, I have something like 9000 deaths or so and I may have given up on the "dark world" ending. To paraphrase Brad, you won't get 100% in this game unless you are insane.
