During a postmortem on Super Meat Boy here at GDC 2011, Team Meat's Tommy Refenes spoke at great length about the plight of developing the most punishing game of 2010 -- a long stretch of development Hell that has since seen nearly 400,000 copies sold across Xbox Live Arcade and Steam, he revealed. As part of Microsoft's Game Feast program, as well as several impressive Steam sales, Super Meat Boy was afforded a lot of time in the spotlight, though Refenes also attributed its high Metacritic rating as another catalyst for the rise in popularity.
Later, Edmund McMillen, who participated in the postmortem through a Skype video call, confirmed that Team Meat has procured 3DS development kits and is currently working on something for the platform. "We dont know if that'll be Meat Boy or something else, but who knows?" McMillen concluded coyly.

how would meatboy work with 3D other than some extra foreground and background visuals?
Yesssss
You stupid *crag*ers.
He isn't going to recreate a product, especially considering he almost never does sequels EVER, when he has all this new tech at his finer tips.
either way though pops, you're still right
I'm sure he'd love to know you think his last decade's worth of work is bull shit.
And for the record, he's had two steam releases before Meat Boy and he released all his games on a limited edition disc.
Mostly because right now everyone else is doing JACK SHIT.
