Nintendo Switch Gets Another Launch Title

The Nintendo Switch's launch lineup has grown by one.

Publisher Nicalis has announced that The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ will be available for the hybrid system at launch on March 3 alongside the system. "It means that there is more than just The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on launch," the publisher said on the game's blog (via IGN).

There will be a physical version of Afterbirth+ available at retail, while the game will also be sold digitally via the Nintendo eShop. The $40 package comes with Rebirth, Afterbirth, and Afterbirth+

Nicalis founder Tyrone Rodriguez teased that the "first few thousand" copies may include "something special," though he did not share any further details.

Below is a rundown of the Switch launch titles, which now span six games. Some have criticized the Switch's launch lineup for being too limited (the Wii U had 23 launch titles). In the wake of this, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime said launch is "not the be-all and the end-all."

"It really is the steady pacing of content that continually reinforces for the people who bought into the platform why they made a smart choice, as well as what compels people who might be sitting on the sidelines to jump in," Fils-Aime said.

• 1-2-Switch
