The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth has arrived on Wii U in North America and is rather good, but the New Nintendo 3DS-exclusive version has encountered issues. A range of initial bugs were patched out rather quickly, but that update seemed to trigger an issue that freezes the game entirely in some cases.
The fix for that problem has taken a little while, but Nicalis has confirmed that it's submitted the update to Nintendo of America for approval.
We've encountered the freezing issue ourselves, and due to the time it's taken our busy reviewer to work it up and the proximity of the update, our review will follow shortly after the patch has or hasn't resolved the problem; whatever the case, we'll share our thoughts on the New 3DS port at that point.
Have you experienced the freezing issue, or are you one of the lucky ones that's avoided it so far?

I never came across any bugs of any sort unless it was maybe some frame drop, hopefully soon they will rev up the afterbirth DLC to Nintendo platforms so the slaughter can continue!
The game has froze twice on me. The second time I was able to start off where it froze. I ended up buying this on WiiU shortly after and enjoy playing it more on the WiiU. I like the controls a lot more on the WiiU.
Why release a game if they were bugs in it? Why?
Isaac as a game has had horrid bugs from day one back in 2011, and that hasn't really changed since, it seems.

I'm assuming you don't step out of Nintendo's range too often if you're actually saying this. Modern gaming wooooooooooooooooo!
@Zebetite LMAO! I do i'm still shocked,that devs do this. Jesus
@TwilightAngel
I assume they don't always know that the bugs are there. QA is expensive for indie devs and small studios, and once thousands of people are playing the game, bugs they may have gone noticed will be brought to light.
The 3DS and Wii U versions have both frozen for me about 10 times each. (A couple were before the original patch for 3DS as well) I stopped playing the 3DS version completely since that was happening much more frequently in relation to my play time. Luckily the Wii U version hasn't frozen for me in a while.
Off-topic to an extent, but considering not picking it up anymore if specific news for Europe don't show up soon.
@TwilightAngel Short deadlines and because Nicalis is as lazy as hell.
Freezes a lot for me. Eagerly awaiting patch #2.
Why no score on your site? Seriously? Game WAS released so what are you waiting for? Maybe we all should lower scores because of plenty of dlc. More dlc to game, lower score more? Or we should wait till all dlcs will be released?
And then give scores?
Still waiting for UK release.
