Date has been confirmed based on Nicalis's tweet here.

In case anyone is complaining about the price .. this is Afterbirth+ with all the included DLCs to date. And based on the pictures .. it seems there is a manual too!

 

[Brinbe]

Bought

 

[Flying Toaster]

Woot! I am ready. Preordered and ready. The manual sold me on physical.

 

[Alrus]

That's not too far away. With Nicalis I always expect the worst.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

But how much more is it than on other consoles?????

 

[Labombadog]

But how much more is it than on other consoles?????

$10 extra cuz it's portable.

 

[mentallyinept]

$4 IIRC

 

[NeOak]

Aaaand it is sold out on Amazon

Er that's only a valid explanation if you can buy the base game without any of the DLC. Like you can on every other platform.

 

[Jonneh3003]

I'll always be there for physical indie games, what's the best place to import for the UK? Play Asia don't seem to have a listing.

 

[Vashetti]

Unbelievable how Switch has Afterbirth+ before PS4. Unless I missed an announcement.

 

[unrealist]

On PSN, it's $14.99 for Rebirth and $10.99 for Afterbirth (no +). Afterbirth+ will only be released on Q2 / May 2017 for PS4 and Xbox.

On Switch, the placeholder price is $39.99.

Do correct me if I am wrong though.

"Every other Platform"? AB+ is only on PC

 

[MatthewB92]

Glad I had it preordered!

Correct

 

[LewieP]

You can buy The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth for $15 on PC, PS4, PS Vita, Wii U & 3DS.

I hope that they offer this option on Switch.

AB+ is 9.99. The few dollars extra is manufacturing

 

[The Wart]

I've heard mixed things about Afterbirth+. Does anyone know if it's possible to turn off expansion content and just play the vanilla game?

Prime discount brings it down to 31.99

It's not. It's a good expansion though.

 

[Spirited]

NA only?

 

[Living Proof]

Has Amazon's placeholder been correct this entire time? I made sure to grab it when they first put it up in hopes of whatever exclusive extra they added to the first print copies, and I think it's always said March 17. It did last week when I checked up on it.

 

[NeOak]

NA only?

Yes, but is region free anyway.

[mentallyinept]

Aaaand it is sold out on Amazon

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N21YHC5/?tag=neogaf0e-20

It's been available for preorder for months. I ordered mine on Jan 22nd.

 

[_Clash_]

Will purchase and ship down under.

Looks a treat and I'm new to Isaac

 

[Occam]

Neat, this is a must-play game.

(Personally, since I played it a lot on PS4/Vita and wouldn't want to start again from the beginning, that's where I'll continue once it's released).

 

[NeOak]

So? I have it preordered too.

I just wanted to point out it was sold out on Amazon.

Sheesh.

 

[LordRaptor]

whatever exclusive extra they added to the first print copies

I'm pretty sure its the manual from the OPs screenshot

 

[NeOak]

Pre-order bonus offer: Pre-order The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ to take Eden, Maggie, Lilith, Azazel, Apollyon, and Isaac wherever you go! Stick them on your Nintendo Switch, laptop, fridge, or dashboard with these Launch Edition sticker sheets. And keeping with the theme of the game, included is a collectible alternate version of the cover art. Available while supplies last.

[Chie Satonaka]

Have had this preordered for awhile now. Looking forward to it.

 

[Boke1879]

Awesome they are adding a manual. Have this already preordered to it's mine. It would be awesome if more Indies added manuals to their games if they could.

 

[lantus]

As much as I want to use my gamers club discount on this, I think I want it digital. Not having to switch carts to play this seems ideal.

Sheesh.

Sorry, my reading of your post implied surprise at it being sold out. My apologies.

 

[unrealist]

Does Prime discount only work for the first copy or we can preorder multiple copies?

 

[Berordn]

It's not. It's a good expansion though.

Especially after the severe rebalancing it's been getting in the last patches. Once the official mod packs start trickling in, it'll be even better.

I'm torn for the same reason. The box looks great and all but Isaac is a perfect pickup and play game.

 

[Living Proof]

I thought so, too. Unique enough in this day and age, I suppose.

Seems like an odd thing to only give to initial customers though (iirc it was the first 4-5,000 preorders?)

 

[LordRaptor]

I believe they changed it so all copies get stickers, not just the launch batch - the manual is the launch batch exclusive freebie

Can't disagree its odd!

 

[Dark Ninja]

Is that a fucking Manual?!

 

[Alebrije]

Is that a fucking Manual?!

 

[_Clash_]

Got this preordered and being sent to AU through play asia.$60 compared to $47 on steam

Better be all sweet for manual,stickers and reversible cover

 

[apieceofstrange]

It's a Zelda themed manual, which is pretty cool.

 

[ClayKavalier]

It's not. It's a good expansion though.

Wait, so this doesn't come with the base game?

 

[LordRaptor]

Wait, so this doesn't come with the base game?

Yes, its like a GOTY with all expansions included as a single title

 

[Zarovitch]

I'll buy it physical just for the manual.

 

[ViolentP]

All I want is that first release music. It's somehow been lost ever since the release of Rebirth.

 

[Soph]

I love that box and manual, is it even coming out physically in Europe though?

 

[rekameohs]

Well, they wouldn't be able to do that without Danny Baranowsky's permission.

 

[Kinsei]

Just don't go to the void or don't play Greedier mode. The changes to the base game are good, the only thing I really don't like about the expansion is the final boss of the void and the final boss of greedier mode.

 

[ViolentP]

Well, they wouldn't be able to do that without Danny Baranowsky's permission.

That the issue? A damned shame. That soundtrack was amazing.

No, go preorder internationally now for best results
