The version allows up to four players in a drop-in/drop-out cooperative mode, with the other three players using Joy-Con to control one of Isaac's 'buddies' (similar to the two-player cooperative mode for personal computers). The game was released for Switch on March 17, 2017. McMillen said that they could get Rebirth working on the Switch easily due to their approach to developing the game (with hooking integrated into respective system features, such as achievements, to simplify porting) and the ease of the Switch's development platform. Because of the existing relationship with Nintendo for the Wii U and New Nintendo 3DS versions, Rodriguez said that they could obtain developer-prototype hardware for the Switch to port the game to that system. Scheduled for release on March 3 as a launch title, last-minute adjustments required the company to delay it until March 17. Īfter hinting at a release on the upcoming Nintendo Switch console, Nicalis confirmed in January 2017 that Rebirth (with both expansions) would be released for the Switch in March 2017 as retail and digital titles. The announcement of the New 3DS and Wii U versions was made with plans for an Xbox One version, and the game was released for all three systems on July 23, 2015. They were one of the first developers (with Nintendo help) to obtain a development kit for the New Nintendo 3DS, which had more powerful hardware and memory to run the game at a speed matching that of the other platforms. They spent about a year on the conversion and, although they got the game to work on the original 3DS, its performance was sub-optimal. McMillen and Nicalis, after tailoring the game to run on more powerful systems, worked to keep it intact for the 3DS port. They continued to work within Nintendo, and secured approval of Rebirth 's release for the 3DS and Wii U in 2014. During development, three senior Nintendo employees-Steve Singer, vice president of licensing Mark Griffin, a senior manager in licensing, and indie development head Dan Adelman-championed the game within the company. Local cooperative play would also be added to the game, but McMillen said that they could not add online cooperative play because it would drastically lengthen development time. Rebirth was announced in November 2012 as a console version of The Binding of Isaac, with plans to improve its graphics to 16-bit colors and incorporate the new content and material originally planned for the second expansion. He also asked to be left out of the business side of the game's release (after his negative experiences dealing with business matters with Super Meat Boy), and Rodriguez agreed. McMillen was interested, but required they recreate the game outside Flash to incorporate the additional content he had to forego and fix additional bugs found since release.
Rodriguez offered Nicalis' services to help port The Binding of Isaac to consoles. Īfter The Binding of Isaac 's release, McMillen was approached by Tyrone Rodriguez of Nicalis (a development and publishing studio which had helped bring the personal computer games Cave Story and VVVVVV to consoles). Other rooms in the dungeons include special challenges and mini-boss fights. A player can only carry one reusable item and one single-use item, replacing it with another if found.
The player can collect any number of passive items, whose effects build on previous ones (creating potentially powerful combinations). Some items are passive some are active and reusable (requiring the player to wait a number of rooms before they can reuse them), and others are single-use items which then disappear. Many items impact the character's attributes (such as speed and the damage and range of their tears) and other gameplay effects, including a character who floats behind the player-character and aids in combat. Throughout the dungeons, the player will find bombs to damage foes and destroy obstacles keys to open doors and treasure chests and coins to buy items. The character can find items which replenish hearts other items give the character additional hearts, extending their health. The player-character's health is tracked by a number of hearts. The player moves their character around the screen, shooting their tears in other directions the tears are bullets which defeat enemies. The game is controlled similarly to a multidirectional shooter.
