Super Meat Boy 3D is here, and it’s made quite a stylish entrance with a deliciously old-school release trailer that shows off its fresh new spin on the classic platformer. We found the original quite entertaining back in the day, and were thrilled when we learned the sequel was close to release during the Xbox Partner Preview.
If you’re unfamiliar with this one, it’s a 3D take on a platformer that went pretty hard back in the day. It stars Meat Boy, who was (and still is) on a desperate mission to save his beloved from a grisly fate. Unfortunately, the game’s challenging platforming loop will likely have you meeting your demise more often than not, although those who like their games to fight back are certainly going to welcome this one with open arms.
Super Meat Boy 3D appears to retain everything that made the original so endearing many years ago. Of course, there are plenty of touches to ensure it continues to frustrate its players while being very rewarding for those who persevere. The trailer shows off some of that gameplay, and you can see that Meat Boy is clearly in over his head as he navigates some very dangerous levels and takes on imposing bosses.
Super Meat Boy 3D is available for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2.
