Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
The Binding of Isaac Afterbirth + is a Switch launch game (retail/digital)
- Thread starter LordKano
- Start date
Because they haven't announced the launch window, this grid doesn't have Rayman Legends, Binding of Issac, Yooka Laylee or Shovel Knight either
Snipperclips isn't Day One? I thought that and Has Been Heroes were Day One, or is this an old image?
As for Binding of Isaac, what do all the iterations include? I have the PS4/Vita one and wasn't too compelled.

Nah Snipperclips and FAST RMX are launch month rather than launch day
I recall Shin'en saying they're aiming for launch for their FAST Racing title, and I'm pretty sure it's digital only.

Hmm, wonder what the early preorder 'special' extra is? Maybe a code for Super Meat Boy Switch or something? And I assume that is for the retail copy only?
From my understanding, Nintendo tweeted something about Indies having their own trailer/announcement regarding launch and launch window
100% me too, friend.

My fingers are crossed that Stardew Valley gets a quick release on Switch!
I'll probably finally pick up Binding of Isaac on Switch, I've always been interested, but never pulled the trigger yet.

And on Wii U.
And the the thing of Nintendo not allowing it was originally in 3DS, when it was only out on PC.
Damn that looks good.
it's still only January. that Switch event seemed more about the hardware itself and what kinds of experiences it can offer rather than a full on software showcase. there's still plenty of time before launch for announcements, as shown with this one. plus I wouldn't count out a pre-launch Direct with a greater focus on software.

hnggg!
a physical copy of Afterbirth+, playable on the go. Sold!
glad I didnt cave to buying this on Steam when it launched recently, I've always enjoyed BOI more as a portable game.

Because: Nicalis.
That is pretty fucking nice!
Already got on PC but if you've never played this awesome game you are really in for a treat. One of my favourite ever games.
Will also be super sweet to play on the go. Hopefully it's a solid port as I hear it does have issues on other devices.
Edit.. Anyway to get that boxart pic as a pic for my phone minus the switch logo?? Would be very cool.

I may have to buy this. I never got the DLC for the current Pc version. And I might be more inclined to play it if its on the Switch.
Now all I need is Spelunky. Give me Spelunky Switch and I will be so happy.

Sold. A new Zelda game and my favorite PC game of the past decade at launch. Not too shabby imo.
Here's hoping we can buy things from different region stores... Who am I kidding we'll be lucky to have an eshop on day one let alone that.

i wonder what the physical edition goodie would be. Planning on going all digital but this is tempting....

LOL'D.
Preordered.
Launch looking good for me: Zelda, Bomberman R, Binding of Isaac. Not even counting I am setsuna/disagea 5 if these are launch titles too, no idea atm.

I did but I refunded it because it's not very good, especially considering I have it on 3DS and PC already.

Did my part. No matter what happens I'll be getting this physically, need to test that glorious region free
I did it. No regrets in spending money on Isaac.

Nice. Just pre-ordered on Amazon. That and Zelda should give me a few hundred hours. Now I just need a damn Pro Controller to go up for sale somewhere.

I think owning physical copies of games I really like is cool, and I like the box art. But BoI is nice to have digitally so you can do a quick run whenever you want without getting the actual game out. Not sure which I'll get, I wonder what the limited bonus is.
Not sure if this is possible but it would have been cool if the dock had a cartridge slot, or even multiple slots, so you could still have easy access to multiple games if you buy physical.

I feel exactly the same way and have done the same. Let's hope they haven't fucked it.

Once the price is announced for Bomberman... 60$ I'll probably still buy, but with a grumpy face on or something.

I can't wait to play co-op using half Joy-Cons like so:
I'm curious about how bombs, etc. will be handled but when someone questioned that on Twitter, Tyrone Rodriguez had a hilarious response.

Only on NeoGAF would I see a complaint about more games to buy.
While I'm glad this game is making it. This is stuff that should have been clear in the presentation or immediately after.
Like with Bomberman. We don't even know how much it's going to cost yet and it's launch game.

Sweet a physical release.
This is going to keep happening.
In terms of "beating" the game you can get through it in maybe 2-4 hours or so (an average run clocks in under an hour, but you have to unlock some things to get further in to get to the final boss).
In terms of unlocking everything and enjoying the gameplay? Over 200 hours easily. Probably way more than that really. I know some people with 500+ hours and still going strong.
