Unbinding Isaac: Ed Spills The Beans

Team Meat <3 PC
By Lewie Procter on September 5th, 2011.
And we <3 Team Meat right back. Over the weekend, they've been chatting to the cool cats over at IndieGames.com, and Ed dropped this hefty knowledge bomb:

No surprises there, considering that the Steam sales of SMB outnumber the Xbox sales by 2:1.
Don’t just take my out-of-context quote for it though, listen to the interview yourself here.

John talked about the game here and there’s no fresh information to digest along with the trailer. But if you can digest the contents of the trailer itself, you have a steelier stomach than I. All this madness can be yours sometime in September through Steam.
