CO-OP: The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, PixelJunk Shooter, Super Meat Boy

CO-OP

Is December really the best time to hit the beach in Northern California? No. What kind of idiot would think that’s a good idea? Santa Cruz idiot native Cesar Quintero would, apparently. Although there was a method to his madness….

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks is the best Zelda to come out in some time. Our good friend Kat Bailey came by to talk with Ryan O’Donnell and Jay Frechette about the many ways this adventure is leagues ahead of Phantom Hourglass, in both story and gameplay execution.

Ryan, Jay, and I all sat around a warm fire (special thanks to 8-Bit Vintners for providing our delicious beverage!) and fondly reminisced about a game we’d played just the night before. If you’re even a little, kinda-sorta into Q-Games’ PixelJunk series, PixelJunk Shooter is a no-brainer.

And finally, the real reason for the trip: Edmund McMillen invited us down to his apartment in Santa Cruz to see a super-early version of Super Meat Boy! You never get this kind of early look at games outside of the indie scene, and we feel privileged to have had the opportunity. If you’ve never heard of Edmund before, google him and go play one of the ton of free Flash games he has up (including the original Meat Boy and Time Fcuk), you’ll love ’em all! Watch the show after the jump!
