New The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ tease from Nicalis points to Spring 2017 release on Switch
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 5 Comments
The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ has already been teased for Switch once, and now it seems that Nicalis has done so once again.
Fans have found a secret message from the company’s Tyrone Rodriguez. After putting together the first words of several tweets, it states that the game is heading to Switch next spring.
Perhaps Nicalis will be more open to talking about The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ for Switch after the big unveiling event in January.

The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ ruled out for Wii U, game might be hinted at for Switch
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 14 Comments
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth launched for Wii U last summer. The situation surrounding DLC expansions has been hazy, but now we can say for sure that the new content, Afterbirth+, will not be on the eShop.
That being said, we may have another case of a developer moving things over to Switch. A new post on the official Binding of Isaac website notes that Afterbirth+ will be on “PlayStation 4, Xbox One and one more console.” Wii U and PlayStation Vita were then ruled out. Since this console isn’t mentioned by name and we know of a new one on the horizon – specifically Switch – it’s very possible that The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth and Afterbirth+ will end up on the platform.

The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth coming to Wii U, targeted for release next month
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 7 Comments
A few months ago, it was looking like The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth wouldn’t be on Nintendo platforms. That still holds true for New 3DS, but it seems that the Rebirth expansion will be on Wii U after all.
Nicalis’ Tyrone Rodriguez just sent out several tweets stating that The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth is wrapping up on consoles, and the goal is to have it released next month in both North America and Europe. The subsequent message listed Wii U as one of the included platforms.
The tweets are as follows:
Final submissions for The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth on console are end of next week. Hope to have it out next month NA+EU

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth – Afterbirth expansion looking unlikely for Wii U and New 3DS
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in New Nintendo 3DS, News, Wii U eShop | 81 Comments
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth finally hit the Wii U and New 3DS via the eShop earlier this year. Given that, could the expansion – which goes by the name “Afterbirth” – head to Nintendo systems as well? Unfortunately, right now the answer appears to be “no”.
Nicalis’ Tyrone Rodriguez wrote on Twitter a few hours ago:
in other news, evaluating Afterbirth for Wii U, new 3DS and PS Vita. Not running at a performance level I'm happy with. Outlook NOT good
— Tyrone Rodriguez (@tyronerodriguez) November 20, 2015
Some might be surprised to hear that Afterbirth is having difficulties running on Wii U. Regarding that, Rodriguez said the following:
Stop lying to yourself, the Wii U is not much more powerful than a PS Vita
