Can't wait for this. I'm loving the recent trend of bringing back the 2D platformers. Hopefully it won't be as difficult as N+. 0_o

Dude most people here where born in 90's so there isn't much to remember. 
 
However, I was lucky enough to experience the weirdness that was the 90's. This was great.

@BionicMonster: It's been a LONG time since I played the flash version. I'm not against difficult platformers, it's just that the controls in N+ seemed kinda ...floaty. I hated how you'd slide on ever single surface.

I was born in the 90's but I completely understand what they were going for. It's not that some people were born in the 90's, it's that some people aren't very intelligent.

@Kyelb22: That's what I thought as well, which is why I'll always prefer the original N.  Super Meat Boy, though, is freakin' great and I can't wait to play it.

as soon as puberty kicks in and you "think" you know everything let me know, then we might be able to have an intelligent debate about the progression and advancement of advertising to target markets. But i wont be keeping my hopes up.

Progression and advancement of advertising to target markets? Oh, like how this game is supposed to be bringing in those who miss the tone and feel of older platformers, so would most appreciate a nostalgic nod to the 90d brand of advertising? By the way i'm 16. Don't assume intelligence based on age, on either end of the spectrum.

It looks like they made a crappy game and are trying to make it seem cooler by being "unique" and "insane".

This is based off of a flash game called "Meat Boy". You can find it on Newgrounds.
