But that may be about to change after Binding of Isaac Publisher Nicalis, Inc teased a concept image of an Isaac Amiibo on its Twitter…

On 20 October 2016, Nintendo officially released a trailer of their upcoming new games console, the Nintendo Switch. The Nintendo Wii U was barely a blip on the radar when you compare it to the other giants in the industry, the Sony PlayStation 4 and the Microsoft XBOX One.
