Finally, after years of doubt and uncertainty, The Binding of Isaac – in its newer Rebirth form – is officially heading to Wii U and New 3DS.

If you’re unfamiliar with The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, this remake of the 2011 top-down 2D dungeon crawler throws you into the maniacal world of Isaac, who must traverse through his mothers basement to escape religious sacrifice. During your adventure, Isaac will encounter various monsters and bosses that he will have to slaughter. The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth features an additional 17 new “normal” bosses, plus 3 new “final” bosses (including Mega Satan). It also contains all content from the original Binding of Isaac and its expansion, Wrath of the Lamb, in addition to new items, rooms, characters, and enemies.

There was a lot of disbelief that Rebirth would not come out for Nintendo platforms, based on the original game getting rejected on 3DS back in 2012, which was due to its “questionable religious content.” When creator Edmund McMillen announced the ports to Wii U and New 3DS on April 1st, he revealed a version of the game that would be edited for Nintendo platforms. Thankfully, that was just a joke, Nintendo seems perfectly fine releasing the uncensored game, and The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth will launch on Wii U and New 3DS intact. Older versions of 3DS and 2DS will not be able to play, unfortunately.

No date was revealed, but expect The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth to hit the eShop soon.

Here’s our video review of Dot Arcade by James Montagna for the Nintendo Wii U.

Mutant Mudds Super Challenge was one of the Nindies shown off during today’s Nintendo Direct presentation. Previously announced through the magazine Nintendo Force, Mutant Mudds Super Challenge is a sequel to the fantastically retro Mutant Mudds from Renegade Kid.

Mutant Mudds Super Challenge will also feature cross-buy between 3DS and Wii U, and vice versa, giving you double the muddy goodness for the price of one. But wait, there’s more! Those who own the previous Mutant Mudds game receive a loyalty discount as well!

As the title of the game implies, the sequel is going to up the ante in difficulty, which you can see in the gameplay trailer above. Mutant Mudds Super Challenge will be released exclusively on the Nintendo eShop for both Wii U and 3DS this June 2015.

Here’s our video review of Elliot Quest, developed by Ansimuz Games and published by PlayEveryWare Games for the Nintendo Wii U.

CEO Jonathan Meyer provided the following statement during a recent announcement:

We feel the story of psyscrolr serves itself better updated over time. A more episodic feel invites players to want to come back to the world, continue their save, and find more. An example are the letters strewn throughout certain levels of the game. There are more secrets we plan to add in a further update, as well as hidden mini-games added to the game to enhance replayability with leaderboards and Miiverse features planned.
