Ah ffs, saw it coming from miles away and it still hurts. My n3ds NEEDS this. Might as well expect the worst now and assume it's gonna take months for it to release here.

Thanks, that looks good for the gift card.
Xbox One is pretty easy for the region change, you just change it in the options and then restart then your system pretty much thinks its whatever you changed too. Not sure about the language thing as I just go from NZ -> US then straight back to -> NZ mostly (both English). They made it harder to buy from other XB stores these days but its still doable (gift card etc).... hopefully still anyway lol.
I basically buy on whatever store has access to the game, then switch back to normal country and play happily.
Thankfully its even an option on Xbox at all, I'm still really gutted I can't also play on my N3DS this week.
I was really really looking forward to having it on the console I take with me everywhere!Sure it might come out in Euro eventually, but if you go by what they've said already that doesn't include NZ/Aus - so we'll probably never get it.
If DLC gets treated the same way as Game Approvals, then maybe? Too early to say, since it's supposedly 2 months away and anything can change.
I'm looking forward to Afterbirth. Hopefully, it's just releasing everywhere on the same day +/- 1 day.

I was skimming through this thread's recent posts and saw your video and first I want to say congrats! That was some awesome playing.
Second, it made me want to get back into Isaac for the first time in months. So I did and on my first run back I managed to get to and beat Mega Satan for the first time! And then all of my glitched trophies that didn't pop up before all flowed in! It was quite an experience. So I want to add a thanks to that congratulations!

I really want this on Xbone because of the controller, but the advantage of off screen play for Wii U makes it a must buy.

Its up on the eShop now, still waiting for the Xbox one....
Oh how I wish I could play it on my N3DS.

It usually does at Midnight Eastern Time, but that was 15 hours ago and since this is an indie title god knows when it will be up. Edmund tweeted an hour ago:

So...I'm going to have to encourage people to NOT BUY this on Wii U right now.
Every time something happens in the game, including screen transitions, killing enemies/bosses and using special items, the game hiccups for like half a second each time. Now it may not seem so bad to people, but it does lead to situations where you can't avoid hits and can/will lead to early deaths. It's a mess.

Second Isaac run on 3DS, went to the cathedral on angel rooms. Invisible mom, invisible Isaac and an invisible Lo Ki along the way, and no music since the caves 1.
Kind of frustrating when the vita version which I real platinum godded is so crisp now

Switching the game to the Wii U's internal memory seems to have solved the hitching issues I was having earlier, but I will say that the game gave me an update prompt, so there may have been a Day 1 patch I missed earlier.
EDIT: Yeah, DO NOT run this game off an external HDD for Wii U. It hitches like crazy

Had the flat to myself last night so I decided I'd have a go at breaking the game to get the Super Meat Boy/Bandage Girl achievements. Second run as Isaac, I get Famine as the first boss, then pick up the Book of Revelations on the next floor. Went all the way through to the Womb and fought all the horsemen along the way, getting a natural level 4 bandage girl. Never broke the game. Felt amazing. Still need to get the Meat boy achievement though!

That's weird and disappointing, I thought external HDDs actually had better perf than the internal memory...maybe only for sequential read?
There's already a patch for the invisibility/mute issues, going through cert. It's a safe bet to wait a bit on a Nicalis game to see how well it's ported though, and Binding of Isaac is no stranger to bugs
It's not "riddled" with bugs. I've done about 20 runs and have only noticed the music glitch once. The game runs real smooth and the only stutter I've seen so far is when skins and items loads onto Isaac at the beginning of levels. Otherwise I've been impressed with how well it runs.
EDIT: I haven't experienced the invisibility issues, either.
Lmao. Just read that the eu approval thing is causing issues because you can draw on the bottom screen. Tbh I hope they'll just disable the drawing and hurry up with the release.

Again this feels very made up. 1001 Spikes/The 3DS version of Cave Story+ didn't have those features...

Surely there are numerous games where you can draw on the bottom screen? Isn't that, like, a feature of the system?
Nicalis manage to find the most random ways to delay something, not hard to see why people just assume 'same old BS excuse crap'. Really does sound like it.
Been playing a lot of the Xbox One one, still just as fun as ever. Only glitch I've found is some times the boss names aren't there when it says "Isaac vs ____" its odd.
Still sad I'll never be able to play the N3DS version on my system.

What's the best way to play this game? Got it on Wii U and totally thought it had analog aiming ala Geometry Wars but it's only 4-way shooting. Using the right analog stick for this kind of feels awful, but using the face buttons is straight up uncomfortable. What do you guys recommend for aiming and movement?
I watched something awesome yesterday. Edmund (and Danielle) joined IndieLuchador for an interview. You can find it here: http://www.twitch.tv/indieluchador/v/8993764
They talked about basically everything Edmund has (and will) put out there and about his views of the Game Industry. There's some talk about Afterbirth, Mewgenics and Meat Boy in there aswell. Don't expect too much, though.
Analog stick for movement and buttons for aiming/shooting. I know it feels weird at first, but to me it makes way more sense. Having to shoot with the analog stick feels just wrong, especially if you have a tear charge item, like Brimstone or Monstro's Lung.
As always, you should just try both and decide which one feels better to you.

Can you go from aiming in one direction to another without firing if you use the buttons?
Yeah, I use analog stick for movement and buttons for firing, I just roll my thumb around the buttons to change the aiming direction when charging up shots etc. It works fine.
Yeah, that's maybe like the only issue I have with this, but what wetflame said works good enough.

The occasional frame rate drop take a while to get used to on the Xbox One version, but it's been a pretty well-made port ignoring that.

Both work fine, it's just unusual. You can get used to either, but buttons work surprisingly well at least on a DS4, I actually prefer them with certain weapons like chocolate milk. You just have to get in the mindset of firing in a direction not aiming directly.

So after not playing in a month or so I played it last night and got a full breaking run only to have the game crash on me. I ended up loading again and it put me at the start of that floor. I broke the game again and exited so it saved and ended up having about 20+ crashes until finally it crashed as I exited (destroying my continue) trying to keep this pos game from losing my progress. Today same exact thing. I'm sitting pretty in the shop with d20, d6, sharp plug etc only to have this pos crash again. After playing this game so long and doing everything breaking the game is the only thing I really find fun anymore and now this shit.
Was there a patch recently that made the game more broken? I have to say I think im done.

Eventually got every achievement, only took me over 200 hours. I fucking love this game, can't wait for Afterbirth.
I think a while back they said they're aiming for September? It can't be far off though as in the last update Ed said they have already set a release date, they won't announce it yet though.
http://bindingofisaac.com/post/126958800209/combo-breakerafterbirth-update-20
Sounds like the release date might get announced next week.
http://bindingofisaac.com/post/127517383219/lets-get-greedy
Afterbirth releasedate announcement postponed again. Explains the new gamemode (Greed mode). Pretty much explains the whole mode, seems pretty ok, definitely a nice variation on the normal game.

I'd put the chance on that happening on 0.001%.

Don't forget theres also Xbox One, Wii U, and New 3DS now too. It all comes down to Nicalis's ability to get things through 5 platforms cert processes at once without running into any snags. In 2 regions.
I cry everytime. :'(
Seriously though, still not out in EU with no word on what the actual hold up is. I don't know why this time I thought it would be different with Nicalis and EU releases, but it certainly was a mistake.

Are the console versions supposed to be 60fps? I'm playing this on the Wii U and somehow it doesn't feel as smooth as what some of the PC videos/streams make it seem.
I'm also knees deep into this version, so I'll be bummed out if Afterbirth is not released around the same time for the Wii U.
