The Legend of Bum-bo physical

Nicalis announced today that it’s working on a physical version of The Legend of Bum-bo for Switch. It will be available in Q3 2023.

Each copy includes a physical copy of the game with a reversible cover sheet insert and a helpful instruction manual. A “Borf Box” edition is also planned with an exclusive Travel Play Set of Bum-bo “stickies,” all contained in a corrugated cardboard outer sleeve that reflects the handmade look of the in-game graphics. The Play Set includes colorful die-cut vinyl characters and items that cling to either side of the included reversible background card; they can be removed and repositioned to create endless variations of scenes from the game or from the player’s imagination.

The Legend of Bum-Bo, which has long been teased for Switch, finally has a release date on the console.

The game was made by Edmund McMillen, the creators behind The Binding of Isaac. Although it initially came to PC in 2019, we’ve been waiting to see what would happen with Switch. A listing for the title has now appeared on the eShop, revealing that Nicalis will be handling publishing on Nintendo’s console.

Edmund McMillen on his Twitter has stated that The Legend of Bum-bo has a high probability to come to Switch mid next year. Nice to hear there will be continued Switch support after both Super Meat Boy games arrive.

The Binding Isaac is something that could still come to the 3DS. On his official blog, creator Edmund McMillen gave a simple “no” when asked if the game is no longer a possibility for Nintendo’s platform.

It’s an interesting comment for sure. Sadly though, McMillen didn’t elaborate beyond his terse response.

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.
