It’s looking like a December release If you’re up for another round ofSuper Meat Boy, you’ll have your chance soon enough. Team Meat’s Tommy Refenes says the Switch port of the famed platformer should make it out in December. “The game itself has been done for quite some time, but we’re making something pretty special for the Switch version!

They look like four littleTerrariascreens arranged in a box-like shape similar to what your television might enjoy. I honestly didn’t think I was going to likeTerrariawhen I first installed it.

Tripwire Interactive isn’t going to be doing one this year, sinceKilling Floor 2is in Early Access and it’s abstaining from holiday events until the full launch. That ruins my holiday plans a ‘lil bit, but it’s also understandable....

I heard whispers of it on social media, but didn’t actually give it a try until a few days after we actually covered iton the site. I love word games though, so once I finally decided to jump in, I was hooked. It’s such a fun concept to me, having the puzzle reset with everyone doing the same word....
