Super Meat Boy: The Game Announced for iOS — “Not a Shitty Port”

The outspoken developer of Super Meat Boy, Edmund McMillen, wrote on the official developer blog that they intend to port the game over to iOS devices.

In the post, McMillen promises that the game will not be "a shitty port."

Originally released for the PC and the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, the game, now renamed Super Meat Boy: The Game, is being reworked with a new interface to support the iOS's touch screen interface.

"Sadly, there was no way of doing this without the game becoming a pile of garbage, Super Meat Boy is a twitch platformer with precision controls, there was no way in hell this would work on a touch screen with buttons all over it, Super Meat Boy isn't a game we want to make a sub-par version of just to cash in…"

"So, we decided to totally remake the whole game instead, from the ground up!"

McMillen posted the first ever screenshot for the new game, which you can see below:
