Interesting thing I learned from this page: The R in Super Bomberman R stands for Rangers.

I tried out greed mode a couple of days ago. Really loved how different the rooms where set up. Totally nice change of pace from the original format.
I downloaded the PS4 version of this and I don't really get it. Is there no progression at all? 1 death and absolutely nothing carries over?
This is why I didn't really stick with BattleZone on psvr too long. I need something, no matter how small, that accumulates to make things a little easier or different.

Take a look at the secrets list. There's a ton to unlock that adds to what the game can provide.

Beat mom for the 2nd time. I know there is other bosses but I'm really liking this.
Yes.

Finally killed Satan, Libra + Soy Milk is OP

Most of them are unlocked when finishing a run.
To be fair Libra is one of the few items that makes Soy Milk useful at all. Most of the time Soy Milk is a death sentence to a run. Gotta love getting Tiny Planet after Soy Milk on a curse of the blind floor.
I'd say it's the only item that makes soy milk useful. Could maybe argue with Guppy, but even still, eh.

Is it just me or are the sticks on the Switch version much more sensitive than on other platforms? I find myself try to left/right/down/up but end up going diagonal constantly. Never had this issue on the ps4 version which I've nearly got the plat trophy.
You keep no items after dying in a run, except for one unique and very special case with Eden.
Progressing further in the game unlocks more, often powerful items and additional content, and in a few cases improves characters from the outset (such as Maggie getting a beneficial pill to start with and Lilith getting Cambion Conception).

My friend mentioned that the more you beat the game, the harder the game gets? Is that true? I've got to moms heart about 4-5 times now and I haven't really noticed anything too different.

Beat the heart 9 times

You unlock new items, new enemies, new bosses, new floors to encounter on the next run.
You start at zero every run, but the pool of things that might be encountered/seen grows with basically every successful attempt, the game is ever changing which makes it so addictive. Always something new to see on the next run.

Haven't played much since vanilla on PS4...I'm rusty but slowly getting back in the groove.
Had an awesome run going with Roid Rage, which I love BTW, and was tearing through...thought for sure I was going to get to mom. Hit Caves II and acquire a pill...ugh I use it and turns out to be Bad Trip which zaps my hearts and I panic. Hit the next room and that's all she wrote.
Damn my curiosity LOL...just had to know. God I love this game....

Two more levels after that.
Good to hear! I loved the game on Vita (even though my map was somehow permanently glitched) and the original on PC so I picked this up!
So cool to have this game physical, but I've gotten so used to picking it up and playing that I really hate having Switch the cartridge out haha.
I don't even know what all the new content is added since Rebirth!
I was talking to a friend today how BoI has truly become the Skyrim of indies. It really has become a must own at least once on all the platforms available. Nicalis really might screw up localizing to Europe, but good for them getting this once little flash game widely available to the masses

Beat Satan three times so far and FINALLY unlocked "Everything is Terrible". Maybe now my runs won't be steamrolls once I get a single Devil Room :3
I would have beat Satan four times if the devil room that goes to Sheol showed up when I beat Mom's Heart with Isaac with killer combos... hmph.
Also I now strongly feel the lack of Switch achievements. Getting the achievements on Steam/Vita were so much fun... Dammit

Hah! I've been at this point for a long while, I've been playing Isaac for a pretty decent amount of time before
Back in Rebirth, I gave
Mega Satan
???
Oh and there was no way I even attempted a run with
The Lost
Been playing a bit. Definitely the "Nicalis polish" I expected. Crashed after a daily run and after holding the power button, I couldnt turn it off in the power menu or go to home menu as all the button presses were still affecting BoI. So had to hold power it off.
While I love having BoI portable once again, wish the developer would get their act together and that they charges $40 for it...

A few questions:
1. Since it is not coming to EU (at least no release date yet) is there a place to order it (phisical) oversea? I'm in Italy
2. How is the game comparing to the Ps Vita version? I know it is richer but I'm talking about the feeling in the gameplay. On Vita it was awesome.
Thanks

Well, the point of the game is to win. I don't know if you've ever played a roguelike game before, but the basic idea of BoI is that you progress through a series of levels, gaining new abilities as you go, but if you die, that's it, you start over. Generally speaking, a successful run of Isaac takes less than an hour, so it's not like you're losing a ton of time when you die.
The game saves your position when you quit (at least on the PC), and you get the option of continuing from there when you start the game back up. However, you can't just save the game and reload it later on if you die.
The progress comes in the form of item unlocks and further levels that become available as you beat the game more times. The way the items work is that throughout the levels, you come across items that can do anything from simply boost your damage, to drastically change how your attacks function (homing shots, exploding shots, etc). As you reach different milestones, more items become available. You're not going to see every item every time, but the pool of items that you can get increases as you go.
As far as the level unlocks go, I don't want to spoil too much, but basically, when you first start the game, you're trying to get to a certain boss. Once you beat that boss for the first time, you get one of the games many endings. On the next run, you fight that boss again, but then the game continues on to another set of levels.
I think it's just you to be honest. Maybe the angles of the sticks being different than on PS4 is throwing you off?

Finally made it to Mom. Got wrecked of course, but at least I'm making some sort of progression. Lol.

The final boss on your first runs through the game is on Floor 6. Cave II is floor 4, so you aren't that far off!

Actually they confirmed that it would be releasing both physical and digital versions in Europe at a currently undetermined date in the future.
Right now I think the only 2 places that would ship overseas in play Asia and Amazon.com,but both are now unavailable.

I had a run last night with Azazel and Ludovico Technique last night that felt pretty much like god mode. Massive controllable donut of death, mom's heart was a cake walk. Slightly disappointed really as it felt a bit like cheating.
Thanks mate.
So the only way now to get it is to buy digitally from the US store...

I love those runs. All the failed ones where you have a pea shooter the whole time are made up for by the God runs.
I'm about to run to Walmart at lunch, their website says they have it in stock. I'd be willing to buy copies for people for cost + shipping if anyone is interested. Not looking to make anything off it.

Yeah, I'm starting to believe it's the sticks being different. The more I play, the less it's happening.

You went into a red combat room, which have been in the game since Rebirth. Touch the chest and it starts up a three boss rush.
