Super Meat Boy PC Box Art Is Amazing

Around the end of January, Team Meat will put out a boxed edition of Super Meat Boy for the PC. It'll be sold independently through the game's official website and ship with several goodies such as behind-the-scenes videos, sketches, and images of cutting room floor characters and art. For most SMB fans, these traditional inclusions are enough to warrant a purchase. But Team Meat has managed to make the set an almost irresistible purchase for dudes like me with just a casual interest in this really, really, frustratingly hard platformer. The cover art, folks, is just too amazing to pass up.

Seriously. Take a look:
 


Dave Rapoza, a freelance artist who's best known for his work on Magic: The Gathering cards, is the man responsible for the box art. According to the Team Meat blog entry about this SMB In A Box, Rapoza caught the indie developers' attention with a similarly stirring and inspired piece around the launch of the Xbox Live Arcade version of the game's release. The decision to go with him for the boxed version was pretty simple after a glance or three.

SMB In A Box will run you about 20-25 bones, depending on the final price of the printing, Team Meat has said on its blog. And it's looking to be worth every penny, right?

Best. Box. Ever.

#5 Posted by Jeffk38uk (703 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago

Its decidedely awesome yet extremely disturbing at the same time.

#6 Posted by LordCmdrStryker (346 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago

I bought it on Xbox and Steam.

#7 Posted by buft (3142 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago

Looks great, i remember box art used to be highly interpretive of the included software, those where good times

#8 Posted by pornstorestiffi (4851 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago

The box art is better than the game.

#9 Posted by UberExplodey (770 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago

#10 Posted by Little_Socrates (5435 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago

I own the game on Xbox AND Steam... 
 
...but I still want this. I knew Team Meat would get $60 out of me sooner or later.

#11 Posted by Death_Burnout (3698 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago

That really is perfect.

#15 Posted by Animasta (12758 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago

that's gross, not amazing.

#16 Posted by Berjiwhir (5 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago

This looks amazing. Almost enough to make me want to subject myself to playing it.

#17 Edited by MrKlorox (11079 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago

Dude should do metal album covers instead of Magic The Gathering cards.
 
edit: or should I say MEATL covers?

#18 Posted by CaLe (2493 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago

Very imaginative. Love it!

#19 Posted by nick_verissimo (1320 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago

I might end up buying this.  I haven't bought the game for the PC and would sort of like to see the behind the scenes stuff for the game so that  I can get into the mind's of the sick fucks that made this game!....unless those video's are on their website? Maybe I should go check.

#20 Posted by papercut (2966 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago

This is all well and good but can anyone tell me if they patched out all the problems on the xbla version?

Meat Boy DOES have his skin flayed off.

"First off I want to thank Peta for helping us turn Super Meat Boy into a house hold name and of course for making themselves look quite foolish in the process... see (as mentioned in countless interviews) Meat Boy isn't made of animal meat, he's simply a boy without skin whos name is Meat Boy.. but sshh don't tell them that."

Yeah. I prefer the original version any day. 
#25 Posted by JeanLuc (3310 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago

Man, I already bought this game for both XBLA and Steam. Stop making me want to buy it again!

#26 Posted by Tesla (1519 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago

That would make a great poster in my future game room.

#27 Posted by MarkWahlberg (3958 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago

Thank god they didn't show Meat Boy's meat.

#28 Posted by MrKlorox (11079 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago

I hope it's one of those oldschool full sized PC game boxes. You know, the ones the size of city phone directories.

I too own both the steam and xbla versions. I think this may be enough to get me to buy a 3rd copy.

I'm also waiting for the soundtrack CD that should be out soon.
#30 Posted by karatetron (653 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago

I have Super Meat Boy on my xbox, but I might just have to buy this. Especially if it's only $25.

#31 Posted by cstrang (2381 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago

I've already purchased two copies of this game: One from XBLA, and another from Steam.  Worth it.

#32 Posted by GT-Man (118 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago

Now that looks awesome never thought he looked like that
#33 Posted by NeVeRMoRe666 (249 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago
@papercut: What problems? This is the first I've heard of any...
 
I'm reluctant to buy this game twice, but come on' THIS is just waaaay too awesome to pass up.
#34 Posted by DirtyEagles (268 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago

disgusting 

#35 Posted by TheGreatGuero (9067 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago

That's appropriately disturbing.

#36 Edited by crusader8463 (13062 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago

I would only pay $20 for that if it was a poster. Still, glad to see someone making the PC version better for a change.

#37 Posted by LordAndrew (13812 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago

They should also sell that as a poster.

Oh god yes, make it trapezoidal or something too.  Like the Thief boxes.   I would buy a third copy if it came in a trapezoidal box.

Am I the only one that realized that Dr. Fetuses monocle is on the wrong eye?

#46 Posted by wibby (170 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago
@MattyFTM: Thank you, would love to get a 1080p version ;)
#47 Posted by Yanngc33 (4472 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago

That's oddly disturbing

#48 Posted by Zombienutz (562 posts) - 2 years, 5 months ago

The PC version of the game is looking better and better with its awesome box art and added characters.

The monocle is never consistently one one side.

It takes someone truly evil to fake a monocle, and forget which eye he puts it in. It would have been out of character for him to wear the monocle on his correct eye.
