Nintendo Switch games news: Delayed launch game FINALLY gets a UK release

A delayed Nintendo Switch launch title has finally made its debut in the UK.

Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+ was originally supposed to release on the Nintendo Switch in March.

The North American version would make its Switch debut shortly after the console launched, but UK fans were forced to wait much longer.

The good news is that the Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+ is now available in the UK, both online and at retail.

The only downside is that it costs quite a lot more than its PS4 and Xbox One counterparts.

The Binding of Isaac Afterbirth is £8.99 on PSN and Xbox Live, although it doesn’t come with quite as much content.

The expanded Afterbirth+ is available for £35.99 from the Nintendo eShop and has a £34.99 recommended retail price for the boxed version.

The game features over 500 items and weapons, 20 different endings, 13 playable characters, over 50 unique bosses, a new playable character, online leaderboards, more than 30 Challenge modes and 6,000 rooms with over 4 billion combinations.

“Isaac has discovered a labyrinth beneath his own house, filled with monsters, power-ups and unimaginable treasure,” the official description reads.

“Can he survive the physical challenges and psychological trials of a world he never made?

“The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ is a dungeon-crawling shoot-’em-up that’s literally a different game each and every time you play it! The randomly generated maps are built with over 11,000 unique room configurations, each populated with a nearly endless variety of enemies, items, challenges and secrets!”

The news comes as on Nintendo Switch.

The Nintendo Switch port will contain the original game and DLC, plus new control schemes.

“L.A. Noire for the Nintendo Switch features the complete original game and all additional downloadable content,” Rockstar explains.

“With specific enhancements including a Joy-Con mode with gyroscopic, gesture-based controls, HD rumble and new wide and over-the-shoulder camera angles, plus contextual touch screen controls for portable detective work.”
