Super Meat Boy Headed To The Nintendo Switch Digitally 2017 With A Physical Copy In 2018

Nintendo Switch owners looking to get their hands on a Super Meat Boy, we've got some good news and some bad news. The good news is that the title itself will be available to play this year - the bad news, and really only for those that enjoy having the physical version of a game in-hand, is that the cartridge version will not be available until 2018 ("probably")

The team behind Super Meat Boy took to social media to make the announcement of when fans can finally play the indie title on their Switch platforms.

Yes. SMB on Switch will happen this year. Physical Switch (probably) next year. https://t.co/A5eYkfls81

Though it is not a concrete launch date, it is at least the first time fans are getting a relative window of release. The highly anticipated sequel Super Meat Boy Forever will also be making its way over onto the Switch in 2018, as well:

"Dr. Fetus is being a jerk again (as he does), but this time he's kidnapped Meat Boy and Bandage Girl's adorable little baby girl, named Nugget! Meat Boy and Bandage Girl will be put through the grinder (THAT ISN'T A MEAT JOKE SHUT UP) as they jump, slide, punch and kick through 6 chapters containing randomly constructed levels that increase in difficulty each time you rank them up. Beat a level, it ranks, next time you play it you get a harder version of that level until you eventually master it! There are bosses, secrets, dying, awesome music, beautiful art, and dying! Also if that isn't enough, there is a Dark World with extremely hard levels for those of you that like that sort of thing."

Super Meat Boy will be going live on the Nintendo Switch in 2017, with the sequel and physical copies dropping later in 2018. No other information is available at this time, but we'll keep you posted as soon as more indie goodness becomes available.
