Is CoD going back to it's roots?
It probably has to do with the dual analog functionality of the New 3DS. Although honestly it doesn't make that much of a difference because it isn't like you're playing Smash TV and you have 360 degrees of freedom. You can only fire in 4 directions, so they easily could have just used the regular analog stick for moving and then the 4 face buttons for firing. And the game isn't exactly a technical powerhouse, so it's not like it needs the faster processor that the New 3DS has. Still, as much as I like the game, I'd play it a LOT more if it was on a portable device because it just has that feel. It's a little awkward to go through the whole start up process on my PS4 to play a game where the matches can last 5 minutes sometimes. A game like Isaac really is made for portable devices, so it makes sense to put it on the 3DS, not to mention that the New 3DS install base will only increase over time. I'd LOVE for them to make a Android port. That would be my go to game all the time.
Which begs the question, would it work on an old 3ds with the circle pad pro addon?
Probably not. That doesn't work with other dual analog games (AFAIK) so it likely wouldn't work here. Also, if it did work with that, they'd probably say so since it would just bolster sales of the game.
Looks like his logo is back.
