The Newgrounds hit Meat Boy is coming to WiiWare and PC as Super Meat Boy, an upgraded version of the popular flash-game platformer. No release date or pricing info have yet to be announced.

Direct from the press release:

Are you a fan of small cubes of animated meat?

Do you enjoy the sound of buzz saws?

When you hear the term “wall jump” do you get excited?

Well, what if you woke up to find you were made of a lump of juicy raw meat, your girlfriend was made of band-aids and to top it all off she had been kidnapped by a fetus in a jar wearing a suit and monocle? Would that be totally awesome? or just kinda awesome?

Well I’m hoping you chose totally awesome, because that’s basically the premise of Super Meat Boy.

In Super Meat Boy you take the role of a small animated cube of meat on his quest to save his lady love Band-Aid girl from the clutches of the evil Dr. Fetus! Sliding his way through saw mills, salt factories and even hell itself, Meat boy jumps into action in this fast paced and extremely challenging platformer that will “melt your face off”.

Super Meat Boy will be completely remade from the ground up for its release on Wiiware and will feature over 100+ single player levels, insane boss fights, competitive vs modes, beefy online co-op play and a slew of unlockables that are rumored to fill your life with great happiness!

The developers of the game (which is being designed by Gish co-creator Edmund McMillen, Tommy Refenes and “Big” Jon McEntee) will be documentary the creation of the WiiWare and PC versions of the game on their blog at Supermeatboy.com.

If you want a preview of the game you can play the popular Flash version that spawned it at the Meat Boy Newgrounds web-game site.
