Super Meat Boy Ultra Edition Coming To Europe

As you probably know already, the Godisageek team are big fans of indie platformer Super Meat Boy. Well completionists rejoice, as Brighton-based publishers Lace Mamba Global is proud to announce that they are bringing an Ultra Edition of the independently developed gaming blockbuster Super Meat Boy to retail shelves in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, France, Italy, Spain, Scandinavia, and the Benelux countries, and it will be available for PC in Q3 2011. There are no plans as-of-yet for a boxed console-based release.

The exact contents and pricing are yet to be confirmed, but a U.S. Ultra version of the game came with; a 40-page booklet of never-before-seen art, behind-the-scenes info and an extended version of Team Meat’s comics; the soundtrack and additional audio samples for your auditory pleasure; and a mini-poster to adorn meat-loving walls.

Jason Codd, Managing Director Lace Mamba Global enthused that: “Super Meat Boy is an absolute crazy phenomenon on the internet. The game has sold far more than 400,000 copies already online, and there is a special boxed edition available in the US, so we expect there to be a huge demand for a similar retail edition in the territories we’re serving.”

In the platforming game Super Meat Boy, people play a boy without skin. His girlfriend, who is made of bandages, gets kidnapped by a fetus in a tuxedo wearing a top hat and a monocle. Super Meat Boy features platforming madness spanning over 300 levels of saws, disease, fire, lasers, missiles, and various other traps that Meat Boy must avoid to rescue his lady love.
