NXpress Nintendo Podcast #17: ‘The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth’ and ‘Never Alone’
This week we take a break from discussing Nintendo’s first-party games and focus on some indie gems instead. Up first is our discussion of The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, a twisted, rogue-like, twin-stick shooter/dungeon crawler developed by Edmund McMillen. Ending the show is our review of Never Alone, an atmospheric puzzle platformer that explores the harsh and dynamic world of Alaska Native stories. Using gaming as a medium to tell a beautiful, classic story, Never Alone was developed by Upper One Games (the first indigenous-owned video game developer and publisher) in partnership with the Alaska Native community, and is faithfully based on the folklore of the Iñupiat people. Joining us this week is special guest Mariko McDonald from GamerWife.com.
