Can we stop with the fucking teasers? Just tell us what we want to know or stfu.

It's a godawful trend.
12
Everyone laps it up and encourages it. More than ever on Reddit, too, with many subs acting basically as corporate-sponsored marketing feeds. It's consumerism out of control.
4
Then the announcement will happen and they'll just say "Summer 2017" no more specific than that
1
Seems even worse when it's for a release date for something that's already available in other regions.
5
About time too!
25
And this time, he's in the mood!
1
I hope this includes Australia somehow.
20
Me too!

Both are PAL region.

Doesn't mean much. We were completely and arbitrarily ignored with the Wii U and 3DS.
-4
No we weren't... The classification board refused it classification. It was our government's fault, not the developers.
8
Havent you seen eurovision?
10
We generally get bundled in with them on crap like this.

I hope they release physical in EU :)
15
They said they were, I thought
2
They did confirm it on one of their various Twitters, I'll try to find it. I think it was Edmund responding to someone or something
2
Physical or not, I just want to get this game so bad. Played 80+ hours on rebirth on PS4 just this couple of weeks to prepare for afterbirth
I, you, we need this game!
1
Buy it already, it has been for a week on US e-shop, just change your region here https://accounts.nintendo.com/
0
Careful with that! The US shop doesn't accept european credit cards. And if you buy e-shop cards, you'll have to buy $40, which will leave you with $00.01 (game's $39.99 iirc).
You can't switch back regions if you still have money on your account and you'll be stuck on the US account/region.

Anyone doing this pick a zip code in a state with no sales tax.

64083 is one that doesn't have sales tax!

..yeah I don't trust nicalis with anything anymore. they are a bunch of liars. originally they said that this game would come out on the same day in US and EU. they also said they would do a giveaway for codes for this game on their facebook page. that never happened.
7
Don't forget they said the game would realease on 3 March.
3
A tiny bit of conjecture on my part, but anyone who has feverishly been refreshing Nicalis' Twitter and asking them for info will likely draw the same conclusion from the Isaac image and the fact the news will be EU specific.
6
To be fair this could just mean a PC retail release... Headup Games did the same for the original Binding of Isaac as well as The Basement Collection and the company hasn't worked on the Switch before. It would be a way of giving PC users the extras such as the stickers and instruction manual.
I'm actually thinking this is more likely now, the Switch release will probably be published by Nicalis alone, as was the case with the Wii U version... I think?
0
It's certainly possible! It would be rather tone deaf by Nicalis to announce that still without a Switch date, but I wouldn't rule it out.
1
From experience it's exactly the kind of thing Nicalis/Tyrone would do. Doesn't mean we won't get an EU Switch release though, I just wouldn't expect news about it on monday (unless they bundle it together)
1
Basically a release date for the switch version in europe. Stupid reason for even a tiny bit of hype.
-16
Maybe... Just maybe... People are hyped to finally get the game in Europe?
14
We have it since launch in 2014, but not yet on the switch. Nicalis basically makes hype out of something that should be pretty normal. Who am i to blame them though, its business. But nontheless stupid.
-14
I might have missed something but why did they not release it worldwide in the first place. Were they forced by Nintedno to do translations for each country? Because if that is the case I hope we can change it to english if we want.
3
Rebirth for 3DS is english-only, so it's probably because of different age ratings (PEGI, USK).
1
And I just ordered a copy from the US. FUCK
2
Of course he did the day after I purchased it.
1
EXACTLY the same for me
2
Hopefully that includes Aus as well :)
1
But I already imported a US copy from playasia
1
I hope the announcement is that the physical game is released the following day. Seems like weve been waiting an age for this!
1
This game isn't even available in New Zealand until the end of May :(
1
It better releases soon!
1
As far as I'm aware, Isaac hasn't been translated to EU languages. If that's what this means then this would be pretty big news for PC players too. And could explain the delay over here
-1†
It has nothing to do with languages, it's just that they want to release the game physically in Europe.
1
I thought maybe Nintendo EU required language support? Anyway, I don't think this is about a Switch release, makes more sense for it to be German PC retail. As was the case with the original Isaac and the Basement Collection
0
If it was about Nintendo EU requiring translations, then it would've already been translated as it released on 3DS and Wii U....

Good point
2
So I was an idiot and impulse bought this damn game. I just can't see the appeal in it. Why do people love it so much? I honestly can't see why they justified charging 40 for this.
-1†
The price is justified by the content. But you need to unlock most of the content
4
I guess I find the base mechanics of shooting those slow as molasses tear drops at enemies incredibly boring. The game feel just doesn't appeal to me.

When you pick up items they get faster. They start slow for a reason. You're meant to get items and power up

I've been watching some NorthernLion videos to learn the basics of the game. Maybe it'll help you bring some interest, I found the stuff I saw pretty cool.

+1 For recommending NorthernLion. I watched the start of his very first Isaac series to see how he reacted to the game and learned it's basic mechanics on the whole, and then the Rebirth series for more of his plays but with a decent amount of unknowns for the items.
I hated TBoI when I got it quite awhile back on PC. I didn't like the looks and the gameplay felt slow and laborious. Now I'm 30 hours in and it constantly pulls me away from Zelda – and I'm as much a fan of the franchise as anyone else. Love watching NL as you learn about things as twice the speed and it's exciting when you get an item he's had a good time with and vice versa.
The game is ridiculously deep and rich with content. Can't believe I didn't like it the first time but glad I gave it a second chance.
7
Personally if you want to learn the basics and everything, I'd go for Bisnap. He explains, like, everything.
1
as you get better, you unlock more, and can quickly proceed to the harder parts of the game. this game seriously ramps up. it puts some bullet hells to shame (touhou is easier). it is indeed quite slow at first, but if even the concept turns you off, then yeah i guess you wasted your money
1
If you've got the physical release I could buy it off from you. PM me.

Digital, sorry :/

The price is mainly for the 3 dlc packs that are with the game. And when i first started playing this on my 3ds I was also kinda confused about the whole appeal to the game. But the more I gave it a chance the better it got. The lore is great, the gameplay is amazing plus get round is so crazy different then last. And there are so many things to unlock like characters and challenges and hundreds. Plus I love killing babies.

It was about damn f#cking time.
I hope you don't
lovelive in Germany.I love in Germany on regular basis.
Fuck me, autocorrect.
