Nintendo Rejects The Binding of Issac For “Questionable Religious Content”

Edmund McMillen has sent the above two tweets regarding Big N's rejection of The Binding of Isaac, which is already available on Steam since September 28, 2011.

Understandably, it's the kind of target that the family-friendly Nintendo doesn't want for fear of bad press. Censorship and money, how are you?
