Team Meat has been tinkering on Super Meat Boy Forever since 2014. It’s now the team’s primary project, so development is in full force.
Super Meat Boy Forever wasn’t initially targeted for consoles, but Team Meat might be expanding its horizons. The team wrote on Twitter today that its upcoming game is a possibility for Switch.
MeatBoy Infinite definitely won't. be..But Super Meat Boy Forever might! https://t.co/xfToKpUrOt

Super Meat Boy Forever was originally imagined as a game that can be played with a simple control scheme. It’s planned to have a randomly generated level structure, full story, six chapters, and twice the amount of bosses as the original. While it’s not an endless runner, an endless mode will be included with high scores and daily runs.
Super Meat Boy Forever has surely come a long way since 2014, but you can see what it looked like during early development in 2014.
The Wii U Virtual Console has been on a roll as of late with TurboGrafx-16 games. More appear to be on the way, judging by new classifications.
World Sports Competition, Battle Lode Runner, Super Star Soldier have all been rated by the ESRB. We don’t have release dates, but there’s a good chance that all three will be rolled out over the next few weeks.
One mini-game in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild tasks you with gliding as far as you can. Players are now trying to come up with inventive ways of extending their run and going for the world record.
In a new run, one person used Link’s paraglider to travel 7,616 meters across Hyrule. This was done in 22 minutes, as shown in the video below. It wasn’t easy, and some tricks were used – such as using bomb arrows and the wind as well as plenty of potions to restore Link’s stamina.
When Harvest Moon 64 originally came out many years ago, it came with a bit of a noticeable spelling mistake. On the title screen, Natsume’s name was written as “Natume”.
The error has been back in the news due to the recent release of Harvest Moon 64 on the Wii U Virtual Console. In its latest “State of the Farm” update, Natsume thought it would make sense to explain why it happened in the first place.
Natsume wrote:
“With the recent release of Harvest Moon 64 on the Wii U Virtual Console in both North America and Europe, let’s answer that one important question everyone has been talking about for 17 years: What’s up with the spelling of ‘Natume’ on the title screen in Harvest Moon 64?!
Starting tomorrow, Minecraft: Wii U Edition players can participate in the new Glide Mini Game. It’ll put your aeronautical skills to the test, as you’ll be flying around in an aerial track. Additional free tracks will be offered at a later date.
The Glide Mini Game features two modes: Time Attack and Score Attack. The former has you using thermal drafts and speed boosters to obtain the fastest possible time while the latter encourages wracking up points by hitting all the hoops. Single-player and multiplayer options are both included. A more spacious lobby will be included as part of the update.
Have a look at the Glide Mini Game with the following trailer:
A couple of weeks ago, Nintendo produced the special Zelda: Breath of the Wild video series showcasing the game’s creation. Today, a special bonus episode went live. Members of the Zelda team discuss their favorite characters, locations, and shrines, and then share a special message. Check it out below.
The Gold Goombas Mega Event in Super Mario Run is coming back later this week. Gold Goombas will appear in World Tour, and defeating them will provide extra coins. And if you defeat many of them, “something even better could happen”.
You can participate in the Gold Goombas Mega Event between March 30 at 3:00 and April 13 at 2:59.

While the screenshots posted on the official Dragon Quest XI website mostly covered stuff we already knew about, there was one interesting new piece of information in there. As it turns out, the ability to switch between the classic 2D sprite look and the more modern 3D appearance in the 3DS version of the game is more than just cosmetic. In 2D mode, battles start via random encounters. In 3D mode, you can actually see the monsters as you walk around – and you can attack them to gain a preemptive strike. Conversely, monsters will attack you first if they see your approach.
