Super Meat Boy to recieve boxed PC release

Indie darling Super Meat Boy (which VideoGamer.com awarded 9/10) will receive a limited boxed release on PC early next year, developer Team Meat has announced.

Edmund McMillen, one half of Team Meat, wrote on the company blog that the Special Edition would be “packed with special features like behind the scenes videos, design sketches, illustrations and never before scene cutting room floor characters, art and the like.”

Team Meat will handle distribution independently through the company website, and the product is expected to cost between $20-$25, although a final price has not been confirmed.

The edition also features a retro-styled (and slightly gnarly) cover painted by freelance artist Dave Rapoza, most recognisable for his work on the Magic the Gathering card game.

While it will probably be a pain to import a copy into the UK, this boxed copy of Super Meat Boy is also something extremely rare in video games: a Limited Edition that’s actually limited.

Super Meat Boy is one of our favourite games of the year, and an opportunity to get our hands on a bonafide collector’s item might be too much for us to resist – import tax be damned!
