Reggie originally wanted The Binding of Isaac on 3DS
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 4 Comments
A few years ago, it seemed like The Binding of Isaac would never grace a Nintendo system. That’s because Nintendo seemed to find some of the game’s content questionable – specifically the religious aspects.
You may be interested to hear that The Binding of Isaac’s initial rejection didn’t come from Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime. Speaking with Nintendo Force, creator Edmund McMillen revealed that Reggie “backed” the game in 2012, though former Nintendo indie head Dan Adelman truly pushed for it to happen.
The Binding of Isaac is finally coming to Nintendo platforms this summer. It’ll be on both Wii U and New 3DS via the eShop.

Next week, Nintendo will be kicking off the first Splatfest for Splatoon in Japan. The game’s Twitter account shares details about what players can expect.
The first Japanese Splatfest is “rice vs. bread” as the best breakfast option, and will be held from 6 PM on June 13 to 6 PM on June 14.
Players can vote via a machine found in the Inkopolis plaza. Voting can only be done once, and your choice cannot be changed. Those who participate will receive a temporary T-shirt with three slots for abilities. You can also use the Miiverse box in Inkopolis to write messages in support of your team.
The first Splatfest in North America will be held in two week’s time.
