Alvion has updated their website with a notice that the studio is looking to hire new staff and that they’ll be working with new platforms next year. It seems that Alvion will be experimenting with the Wii U as well as the 3DS in 2012.

Alvion is perhaps best known for their work on Malicious, which launched for the PlayStation 3 in Japan last year. The company has only published one game for a Nintendo platform. In 2009, Alvion released Poupée Girl for DS.

Binding of Isaac could hit the 3DS

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

Binding of Isaac has a strong chance of landing on the 3DS. Team Meat is very open to the idea, and it sounds like it could happen as long as Nintendo is okay with it.

If Nintendo approves, Edmund McMillen will allow a publisher who is currently pitching the idea to port the game to the 3DS.

McMillen said:

“A publisher i know is currently asking nintendo if they woudl be ok with isaac on the 3ds, if they say yes then ill had the game off to them and let them port it.”

Thanks to Jake for the tip!
