Binding of Isaac is still not ruled out for a 3DS release in some form, according to a Tumblr post from the game’s designer, Edmund McMillen.
McMillen, also known for his work on Super Meat Boy and prominent role in Indie Game: The Movie, responded to a fan’s question of whether a 3DS version of Isaac had “definitively fallen off the monkey train of possibility” with a simple “no.” McMillen is currently working with Nicalis on a remake of the game titled Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, which features revamped 16-bit style graphics and greatly expanded content while retaining the Zelda-inspired, roguelike gameplay of the original.
McMillen made his desire for a 3DS version of the original Isaac clear in the past. However, back in 2012 reports surfaced that Nintendo had blocked the game from the platform due to “questionable religious content.” Currently, an entry from the FAQ section of the Rebirth official site states, “We want to release on 3DS, and will if given the option. Isaac currently goes against Nintendo’s publishing rules due to its religious aspects... but stuff might change, you never know.”
For now, the remake is on track for a release sometime this year on Steam, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation Vita.
I like and appreciate that Nintendo has chosen that they don't want this type of game on their system.
The reason said I knew people would disagree with me is because I fully understand your argument. In the end I'm one of those guys that plays video games with my young kids. Nintendo had set themselves up as the more family friendly video game option and this decision they've made on this specific game solidifies to me that at least to some degree they want to stay that way. I appreciate it.I like and appreciate that Nintendo has chosen that they don't want this type of game on their system.
So you like it that Nintendo remains to be close-minded and out of touch with their fans, unlike Sony? You like it that there's less mature games to prevent an audience from enjoying them?

in the end I prefer it the way it is.
To your other point. I'm not to concerned about choice as is because I don't know a single person that doesn't have a PC in their home and the developers can always release these games on PC. In fact with this game they did.
Look man, I'm sorry my comments felt rude to you. I'm trying to not be rude.To your other point. I'm not to concerned about choice as is because I don't know a single person that doesn't have a PC in their home and the developers can always release these games on PC. In fact with this game they did.
But it's not a PC-only release. These developers are interested in bringing the game out to as many people as possible and they're being exceptionally generous about it with a Steam pre-order loyalty discount and placed into the PlayStation Plus IGC at release.
As Nicalis and Edmund McMillen have said they would put the game on 3DS first chance they get, your comment comes off as incredibly rude.
My point was that for consumers Nintendo only kind of took away their choice
