Edmund McMillen still interested in The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth for 3DS, but religious content remains a problem
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 4 Comments
Edmund McMillen’s interest in bringing The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth to 3DS hasn’t waned. Unfortunately, he’s still facing the same issues with Nintendo – that being how the company objects to the game’s religious aspects
McMillen wrote in a recent Q&A for Rebirth posted earlier today:
we want to release on 3ds, and will if given the option. isaac currently goes against Nintendos publishing rules due to its religious aspects.. but stuff might change, you never know.
Publisher Nicalis said last August that The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth could still come to 3DS. At this point, the only way this would seem to be possible would be if the title’s religious elements were removed.
