Pelikan13 shared an overview of tracks in The 90’s Arcade Racer as part of a Kickstarter backer update this past week. You can find the full rundown below, along with screenshots of each.

Oval: This is the most basic track in the game, it’s a good place to practice and get accustomed to the game’s drift mechanics.
Difficulty: Easy

Oval Infield: A few tricky corners can catch you out so you will have to use the brakes.
Difficulty: Medium

Island Short: This is the signature track of the game, it’s small with quite a few tricky corners.
Difficulty: Medium

Island Long: This track has long straights and wide corners with only a couple of places that require braking.
Difficulty: Easy

Mountain Short: There are plenty of U-turns in this track, you will need to master the drifting mechanics to put in some good times.
Difficulty: Hard

Mountain Long: This is the longest track in the game, it has everything from very tight U-turns to long straights and plenty of elevation.
Difficulty: Hard

Airport: Long straights followed by sharp corners.
Difficulty: Medium

VR track: This is a bonus track Inspired by a certain Racing game about Virtua.

The Binding of Isaac creator Ed McMillen uploaded a bit of footage showing Rebirth running on the New 3DS. It’s not the best quality, but it’s one of our first looks at the game running on Nintendo’s portable. Check it out below.

Polygon has some extensive comments from Tyrone Rodriguez and Edmund McMillen about The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. There’s plenty of talk about why the game didn’t make it to Nintendo platforms until now, and what changed to make it happen. Additionally, we learn why Rebirth is planned for New 3DS only (rather than bringing it to the original 3DS as well).

We’ve rounded up the various comments below. You can find Polygon’s original article here.

Now that April Fools’ Day has passed, we can rest easy when it comes to yesterday’s announcement of The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth for Wii U and 3DS. It’s really happening. Nicalis’ Tyrone Rodriguez made a point to stress this on his Twitter account a few hours ago.

There is just one important thing that needs to be mentioned: on 3DS, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is planned for New 3DS rather than the original 3DS systems. We also know that Nicalis plans to bring the game to Europe.

Head on below for a collection of Nicalis’ tweets, which also feature a few short clips from The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth.

Today is an interesting day. It’s April Fools’ Day! That means, unless you’re Nintendo, most announcements are going to be presumed fake.

Enter The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. A blog entry hit the game’s official site in the early morning hours, which seemed to announce it for both Wii U and 3DS. The thing is… most people (including myself) thought it to be fake given how the blog was written, and the fact that it’s April Fools’ Day.

But just a short while ago, there was this Twitter exchange between Nicalis’ Tyrone Rodriguez and Dan Adelman, formerly from Nintendo:

I suppose we can assume this is real for now. What a weird day. Really. In any case, if you’re interested in finding about how The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth made it to Nintendo’s platforms, we’ve posted the blog entry in full below.

Nicalis is finishing up a patch for 1001 Spikes that will add off-TV play to the game’s Wii U version. It’s unclear when exactly the update will be ready, but it should be submitted to Nintendo of America next month.

Update: It turns out that the screenshot is old, as it was originally posted by Nicalis’ Tyrone Rodriguez about a year ago (thanks BrybryPokebip). I have no idea why Nicalis tweeted it out as a company today though!

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth has long been teased for 3DS. That continued today with a new tweet from Nicalis.

Just a couple of minutes ago, the company posted the following:

By scanning the above QR code, you’ll be redirected to a URL on Nicalis’ website. What is it? A 3D screenshot of The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth (shown above), which seems to come from a 3DS build.

We need the teases to stop. Now it’s time for an announcement – don’t you think?!
