The much anticipated Super Meat Boy, developed by  Edmund McMillen and Tommy Refenes of Team Meat,  has been confirmed as an Xbox LIVE Arcade release.  The more interesting bit of the news is that it is beating the Nintendo Wii and PC releases out of the gate.

The XBLA version will also have online play, which the WiiWare version will be missing. Probably due to the craptacular nature of Nintendo’s online gaming platform, but that is pure speculation on my part. Well that and I never miss an opportunity to talk shit about Nintendo’s Online Gaming.

On a somewhat related note you can hear a lot more of Tommy Refenes talking about indie game development as a regular host of the TIGradio podcast/livecast at TIGradio.com.
