  I wonder how many broken handhelds this will lead to.

  This doesn’t look like the original SMB, it looks like an endless runner sequel or something.
  
  Maybe I’m wrong, but this feels like a Binding of Issac: Rebirth situation where Mullen outsourced it to someone else.

    And reading it closer they’re not claiming it’s the original SMB either.
    
    So never mind, ignore me :)

  This is the runner sequel they talked about years ago, same name and everything. https://www.engadget.com/2014/08/29/new-super-meat-boy-is-an-endless-runner-for-pc-tablets/
  
  Not as exciting as a "proper" sequel but hopefully it's still good. We did already just get a spiritual successor in The End Is Nigh, which I didn't like as much but was pretty good nonetheless.

  I unfortunately will not buy it or any more side scrollers until I can play them portable with a d-pad
