    Super Meat Boy won't be hitting its target release date on the Wii. Team Meat has gone on record via its official Twitter account to announce a delay, citing that it would be "impossible" for the indie developer to compress the title to a WiiWare-appropriate 39MB by this November, as was originally planned. No additional release date details have been shared, however, and Team Meat doesn't appear too close to getting it out on the Wii yet. "We haven't even gotten the size to 50MB yet," Team Meat said. 

    You've got options if you want to get your Meat on, though. The Steam version of SMB will be hitting the last week of this month, and of course, the game is available over Xbox Live Arcade right now.

    Brad really dug SMB, giving it a five out of five stars in his recent review. I've no comment on SMB, though I am willing to say that calling the game "hard" is an understatement. I would begin fearing for the integrity of my dry wall and my cats' faces if I were to continue attempting to beat the level that I'm stuck on right now, just so that I, too, could tell you that the game is awesome.

    Been loving it on 360.  Bummer that the Wii version is delayed, as it would be cool to let as many masochists (like me) get their hands on it.  Still, they could probably just get the Steam version.  I doubt it will require a powerful machine.

    39MB? In this day and age? The compressed music in the game probably comes to almost that much!

    I can see a lot of content being cut from this game for Wii owners. It would be sad if they missed out on any of it because its an amazing game.

    Whatever. I can hardly wait for the PC version, but my backlog is so long it'll probably have to wait a couple months before I can play it.

    Surprised it wasn't mentioned but they're looking into a retail version it seems. $20 for a boxed copy and some extra content they said. But this was them just asking fans via twitter if they'd want that. No idea if they'll go through with it.

    Actually, Nintendo had initially approached Edmund McMillan about bringing Meat Boy to the Wii. It was being developed as a WiiWare game well before Team Meat revealed the XBLA version. The funny thing is that the the XBLA version of the game came out first.

    Bummer. As someone who doesn't have a 360 and has trouble simply playing Solitaire on his piece of shit machine, I've been looking forward to the Wii version back when... well, back when it was a Wii exclusive.

    Bummer, I was planning on getting the Wii version since playing SMB with a keyboard would probably suck. I hope the compression doesn't f anything up or I might get the steam version anyway.

    I owned the first Strong Bad episode on Wii and I remember it taking up an F ton of bits, or slots or whatever they call it. So my guess is they didn't, or at least not by a lot. 
     
    Which, yes, begs the question, why put this specific restriction on this game? My uneducated quess would be, that those other games were given somewhat of a pass because they had so much recorded voice.
