Retro specialist Mega Cat Studios has announced The Meating, a brand new NES title that's heading to Kickstarter today.
With a projected release in Q1 2024, The Meating features puzzle-platforming gameplay across over 40 unique stages.

Here's a look at the key features:
- Journey through 40+ puzzle-platformer levels
- Acquire ghostly abilities and powers to beat your enemies
- Meet colorful and quirky characters
- Encounter challenging boss levels
- Experience an engaging story of revenge filled with suspense, mystery, and deceit
- Move your meat to the beat with an authentic chiptune soundtrack

I love meat and NES, so this would make a great meatday gift to myself. Wonder how long it would take to beat The Meating?
The more NES games the better (although I hope it will be playable on modern consoles as well - especially Switch in my case) and even more so if they're as promising as this one is!
@JohnnyMind I find it great people are still giving love to old systems.
@VideoGameBoy
This is an outrageous comment. We're all ashamed of you.
Keep it up! 😆
@VideoGameBoy agreed with @Ooyah. I’m impressed haha
40+, huh? Quite the..."meaty"...offer worth cookin' up.
This looks... really fun!
New NES games are getting increasingly rare, but developers have not entirely abandoned that medium. I hope the game is well done!
"Feel the beat of the meat"
Sounds totally like the 80s! That's how you promote an NES game! LOL
Looks great, but Sam's journey on NES is my priority.
Still got the NES that me and brother's got for Xmas in 1990. We took great care of it and it still plays the games we collected over the years. I'll monitor this one and see if it's worth backing to he fair. Looks good, the track in trailer sounded really good. One to watch.
Every single one of these “NES” games also released on Steam. I’m not suggesting these aren't made with love, but the NES release could easily be described as a marketing gimmick to sell digital copies.
I must admit that no game music has ever made my meat move to the beat. You have my attention.
