Update: Bumped to the top. It now looks like The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth’s European release will be taking place in October.

EU players, according to NOE there's not enough time from last week (when we asked) to Sept 10th to push Isaac live. Looks like Oct. now

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth could be launching in Europe as soon as next week. On Twitter, Nicalis’ Tyrone Rodriguez said that the game has been submitted with a September 10 release date. That date will stick so long as Nintendo approves it.

Rodriguez’s tweet is as follows:

Submitted September 10th as the desired EU release date to NOE. Waiting for approval from NOE on the date ? ? ?°?????° ?? Give Rebirth

Quite a few of you have been asking about The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth in Europe, and thankfully its release isn’t too far away. If anything changes, we’ll let you know.

Amazon starting to sell digital Wii U and 3DS content

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 20 Comments

Update 2 (9/1): Bumped to the top. Amazon has now launched its Nintendo Digital Downloads page here.

Update: This actually looks more extensive than I originally thought. You can purchase digital codes for a good chunk of Wii U and 3DS games that have hit retail thus far (thanks astrogamer). For example, consumers can buy a code for Smash Bros. Wii U right now. You’ll find a decent amount of codes listed for Wii U here, and codes for 3DS here.

Starting tomorrow, Amazon will begin selling digital content for both Wii U and 3DS. This includes games available on the eShop, Virtual Console releases, and DLC.

Here’s the lineup thus far:

Wii U

Golden Sun
Hyrule Warriors: The Hero of Hyrule Pack
Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
Mario Kart 8 Bundle Pack
Pushmo World
Yoshi’s Island: Super Mario Advance 3

3DS

Kirby Fighters Deluxe
The Legend of Zelda
Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream
Super Mario Bros. 3

It’s a bit of a limited selection, but it’s certainly a nice start. I’ll be curious to see if additional content is added in over time.
