Super Meat Boy

Earlier this week, Team Meat posted a picture of Super Meat Boy running on the Nintendo Switch, basically confirming that the famous platformer was headed to the console. No other details are available at the moment, just that BlitWorks (who already ported Super Meat Boy to the Wii U) are once again in charge of this port.

The Upcoming Games page has been updated!

As soon as we’re 100% confident with this version and everything is approved, we will make sure you’re first to know the release date!
