  • When Super Meat Boy first hit the internet, little did fans know the impact it would have on future games. Without the massive success of Super Meat Boy we wouldn't have games like Cuphead. But how exactly did Super Meat Boy pave the way for Cuphead?

      Cave story would be here without ET the video game. So we all good things to that.

      not necessarily, cuphead particularly as they mentioned, most likely would have existed even if other indie games didn’t exist, the reason is apparently the brothers always wanted to make a game but never got the chance until they did. Same with other indie games and game genres, surely it would happen eventually maybe just in different orders and completely different games

    Surprised they didn't mention the ninja flash game "N". Always felt like a direct predecessor to Super Meat Boy that was WILDLY popular for a time

    I own Super Meat Boy, but I've realized I no longer have the patience for games that will require me to spend hours and hours just to clear a small handful of levels.

      Yeah. I don’t think I finished the game either. Those last levels were extremely, insanely difficult.

    Finally someone did a video that super meat boy deserves, super meat boy was the impulse for the indie videogames world, without it probably games like cuphead and others didn't exist today. I just freaking love super meat boy and it's my favorite indie videogame. Good video man

    Super Meat Boy just feels so good to play, when I played it for the first time on my friends 360 I was in love, beat it in 2 days at his house and 1 day when I got it on my Wii U in 2016. About to get 100% again as of writing, a true classic and one of my favorite platformers.

    Newgrouds was amazing. Yet oddly, regardless of still havjng access to my OG accounts and also how much I miss the glory days, I just never end up on the site for more than like 15 minutes. Just doesn't hit the same way it used too :(

    The binding of isaac rebirth in my opinion is the greatest indi game out there. Its a game you can always play and because of the randomized runs its always different when you play

    Bah! This game has been fisted by Obey the Fist! This game is console peasant trash that infects the steam platform! The almighty Obey the Fist is the only true arbiter of game reviews!
