Wiiware - The Vegetarian Option

IGN have some incredibly bad news for those of us waiting for the WiiWare version of the excellent Super Meat Boy. Due to WiiWare's paltry game size limitation, SMB's developers have announced that fitting it into 40MB is nigh-on impossible without stripping out a ton of content and have instead decided to cancel it altogether. For comparison, the PC version of Super Meat Boy clocks in at a substantial 300MB.

This is particularly gutting considering that Super Meat Boy started life as a WiiWare title. I guess we'll just have to be satisfied with the already released PC and Xbox360 versions.

There's a small chance that Super Meat Boy might see the light of day as a full retail release, but that seems like a long shot at best. I can understand the developers not wanting to burden Wii owners with a sub-par version of their game, but once again we seem to be getting the short end of the sausage.
