On April 3rd, 2010, Team Meat released Super Meat Boy: HANDHELD!, which is an iOS game made as an April Fools joke after Tommy Refenes' statements about the iOS appstore comparing it to the Tiger Handhelds of the 1980s and 1990s,[1] and in April Fools as a response to it Team Meat made a terrible Meat Boy game based on those Tiger handhelds.

Design

The game renders Super Meat Boy as a LED game (with two game modes) with a Tiger control-style overlay. You get a mute button to mute the audio and a high score button.[2]

Availability

This game has not surfaced anywhere online, nor does any video footage of it exists. Only two images of the game exists online, as well as the icon for it. Team Meat themselves confirmed that they don't have the original .ipa file for the game, so it's highly unlikely it will ever be found.
