    The Nintendo Wii is a home video game console released on November 19, 2006. The Wii's main selling point was the innovative use of motion controls that its signature Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers allowed for. It became the best selling home console of its respective generation of hardware.

    Update:
    First full trailer. It looks much more varied than the flash game, sweet.

    Original post:
    Super Mear Boy! WiiWare sequel to this awesome flash game! Play it to see what it's about. 

    We've known of it for a while, but the latest blog update reveals the first screenshot:

    Super Meat Boy! left, flash Meat Boy right.

    Hopefully, it retains the custom level/campaign aspect. The difference in visuals is kinda like going from Cave Story free to Cave Story WiiWare.

    The Escapist has an article with some nice information. I'm stealing the following bullet points from GoNintendo.

    “so amazing that you will crap your pants and so awesome that your body will suck the crap back up inside you.”

    - Aether was originally slated to hit WiiWare, but project hurdles proved too difficult to overcome
    - Nintendo requested Meat Boy to be brought to WiiWare
    - Level design features side-scrolling areas, full-screen levels, and boss fights
    - 100 levels including hidden areas, warps, and an expert chapter to be unlocked
    - Co-op, versus and a four-player party mode are being worked on
    - Level editor being considered
    - 12 indie devs have given blessing to include their game characters as unlockable players in multiplayer modes. You’ll have to collect Band-Aids throughout the game to unlock them
    - Hoping to have work completed on PC and WiiWare versions by the end of the year

    Needs to be played to see what it's about though, play the flash game. It gets VERY HARD. Do the Hello World campaign first as it's tutorial-ish.

    Yeah, it's really hard. It'd probably be better off on a console, though. I think half of my fuckups on the flash game is because I'm using a keyboard.

    Played a little of it.  Seems like a less complex version of N/N+ gameplay-wise.  Do many more gameplay mechanics come into play later on in the game?  The controls don't feel as tight on a keyboard as N's did.

    I wouldn't know, I suck at it. I hope wall jump is harder to fail in the Wii game, I keep missing it when it's a tricky spot :S

    Oh OK, lol.

    I like the art style of the Wii version, I think I'm more of a fan of the cel-shaded look because I loved the look of Okami, just finished Prince of Persia and found the art in that game amazing. Now downloadable games like this and Braid are starting to appeal to me more because of their art styles. Don't get me wrong, Metal Gear, Gears of War, etc. look great, but games with a more cartoony or cel-shaded look grab my attention. As long as it's done well anyways.

    Most of the footage is the same as the youtube video (in better quality, so, added to the OP) but yeah, it looks great. Street Fighter 2 intro screen :)

    It will be fun to see the replay when i'll finish the first level and see red everywhere. I played a good amount of the flash game, it is insanely hard. Playing it with the wii remotes its d-pad will be great though. Wonder if i'll be able to play it with my Hori stick.
     
    Better be sure that the wii-mote has its condom on, it might learn to fly with this game.

    So long as they don't feel the need to incorporate motion controls, I'm sold.

    Destructoid preview. Some pretty awesome stuff (but maybe similar to IGN's? I didn't watch that yet).
