Edmund McMillen continues to drip-feed information on his forthcoming de-luxe WiiWare/PC remake of Newgrounds Flash platformer Meat Boy, this time with the first listen to the game’s soundtrack, a gristly rock number courtesy dbSoundWorks‘ Danny Baranowsky (whose site offers a number of other wicked samples, and a snazzy stadium rock header).

McMillen and co-dev Tommy Refenes also talked with fan-site WiiWare World about the release, where (surprising at least me) McMillen notes that the WiiWare remake is actually the result of Nintendo approaching him for content for its downloadable service, which shows how aggressively the company is reaching out to the indie community, after tirelessly promoting games like World of Goo both home and abroad in the runup to WiiWare’s debut.

Epic Super Meat Boy title track!
