It has been confirmed that the critically-acclaimed 2D platformer Cuphead is coming to Nintendo Switch.
The news was the headline of today's Nindies Direct broadcast, which made a point of thanking Microsoft for making the port a possibility. Cuphead was previously a Microsoft exclusive.
Studio MDHR Co-Director Chad Moldenhauer seems pretty pleased:
It’s no secret that Cuphead is a direct descendent of retro action games like Contra on the NES, so it’s surreal to finally have one of our own games on a Nintendo system. We’re beyond thrilled to be able to bring Cuphead to a brand new audience on Nintendo Switch. Playing the game on a console with such a big focus on local co-op really reminds Jared andI of our days gaming together as kids.
Here's some official PR:
Studio MDHR announced today via the Nintendo Switch Nindies Showcase Spring 2019 that Cuphead will land on the Nintendo eShop on April 18, 2019! What’s more, the game is available for pre-purchase starting today for: $19.99 USD, $25.99 CAD, £16.99, and 19,99€.
In addition to the game’s launch on Switch, a major, free content update will also make its way to all versions of Cuphead (Xbox One, PC, Mac) on the same day.
The new free content update will add both fun surprises and longtime requested features such as: playable Mugman in single-player, new fully animated cutscenes, never-before-seen art and fight intros, ten additional languages, a plethora of bug fixes, and plenty of secrets for players to discover. Read the full list below:
+ CHARACTER SELECTION! For the first time ever, select Mugman right from the start of your adventure in single player!
+ FULLY ANIMATED CINEMATICS! Now, all of the game’s cutscenes play out in fabulous locomotion!
+ FULLY LOCALIZED TEXT IN TEN ADDITIONAL LANGUAGES! In addition to English, we’re thrilled to be able to offer Cuphead in French, Italian, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese. We know how long folks have been waiting for this, so we took special care in the quality of each translation, and curated fonts that felt just right for each audience. In fact, we even partnered with expert calligraphers to bring the Boss & Level title lettering to life in Korean, Chinese, and Japanese – drawing inspiration from the early cartoon works of each country!
+ OODLES OF BRAND NEW ANIMATION AND ART! Cuphead and Mugman have multiple fight intros! Legendary Chalice now grants Super Arts with a blast of magical energy! Mummies explode in a shower of confetti! Dozens of other dazzling additions and adjustments throughout the game!
+ Bug fixes and tweaks!
+ And more!
That's not all, however – it has been confirmed that you'll be able to unlock Xbox achievements in the Switch version of the game.
A rumour stating that Cuphead was Switch-bound circulated a short time ago; now we know this to be the case, could we see other Microsoft console exclusives make the jump to Nintendo's machine?
The game launches on April 19th, and is available for pre-purchase now.

What a surprise! that is really amazing!
Cuphead is also on Steam, so it's not a huge surprise. Journey is on Steam as well. It's similar to SnipperClips appearing on another console or PC one day.
I only want Perfect Dark from Microsoft.
@Octane Steam isn't a console.
WOW! Nintendsoft for the win!
I am stoked that this is coming to Switch!
I'll buy it on whatever system gets the first retail edition. I've been waiting for it since they promised it would come, but I'm still waiting.
Hopefully the framerate isn't cut at all. Already own it on PC but would gladly buy again if it's on par with the other versions.
Starts with a BANG
@Damo But the Microsoft Store is directly competing with Steam; and they sell it on Steam as well. Plus the studio isn't owned by Microsoft. It's an indie title they picked up. Now if Halo or Uncharted comes to Switch, then we'll talk
Wow... That is fantastic. Hopefully a sign of more things to come.
A Forza with Cross Achievement with PC would be amazing!
Excellent news! Time to finally get it.
Feels more comfortable to play on the Switch IMO.
I saw this coming, just woke up. I'll likely buy this game again just to have it on the Switch.
@Octane The game is a console exclusive; a deal was signed to secure it for Xbox One. That it's coming to Switch is a big deal, and clearly involved a lot of discussion between MS and Nintendo.
meh. I want to play, but the difficulty pushes me away.
Can’t help but think Microsoft is up to something here it’s as though they are creating an infrastructure for future plans like a streaming service also they are bringing out a disc less Xbox one maybe they are thinking we don’t care what system you are using as long as we can sell our services to people
@Damo I'm sure it did. But the rumour said ''like Mario on PlayStation''. If it was Crackdown or Sea of Thieves, yeah that would be like Mario on PS4, but Cuphead feels different to me; even if it's a ''console exclusive''; it wasn't exclusive to Microsoft to begin with.
I hope there is a physical edition which there probably will. Im definitively going to get this
😊
This is awesome
Let's have Rare Replay now!
@Gs69
they're also all in on Azure and are basically pushing windows to the background.
MS is all in on services.
YEEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!
I own this on Steam and have nearly completed it. But I just don't like playing on PC. I'll probably buy this again on Switch.
Very cool! Not a fan of the visual style of Cuphead myself, but it does give me a lot of hope that the rumor of another Xbox exclusive Super Lucky's Tale coming to Switch may indeed be true. =)
I can't believe this is happening!! Thank you all involved!!
I can barely beat three bosses in the PC version... I'm not going to buy it for a system that's so easy to throw.
Own it on XBONE...tough as nails, but a great classic title nonetheless...not one that I'd re-purchase again though. I heard it's coming on Switch and PS4, which was stated when it first arrived on XBONE...was waiting. Kinda makes you wonder about Xbox's future though, if they start releasing their games on other consoles.
Lets be honest, who DIDNT see that coming? A welcome addition I suppose
Can it come to Switch with an easy mode please?
@Audigore0733
I'm also hoping for a physical version. What makes you think it will probably happen?
@Moroboshi876 I saw an Xbox retail edition of Cuphead once on Amazon France. It may still be there. I think however it was just a proper game case with cover with a code inside, I don't think it was a disc.
STEVE IS CONFIRMED FOR SMASH!!!
@Mando44646 I prefer easy modes and easy games, but have had fun with Cuphead. It is frustrating sometimes, but if I keep playing levels or bosses over and over in the easiest mode I can eventually beat them. And it is fun. And it has amazingly good graphics, art design, music, and gameplay! I think they can get this game running at 60fps with basically the same graphics as pc and Xbox one. I hope the loading times are short. I definitely prefer the PC version over Xbox one because the loading times are much shorter on PC.
I’ve got this on Xbox and its brilliant. Great news
Anyway, getting all my moanings out of the way ; it's cool to see Cuphead coming to Switch. It's a pretty neat game, I love the art style.
Seems to lend some credence to all those Microsoft rumors. I for one am really looking forward to playing this.
Cuphead and Mugman for Smash!
@Der
WOAH STEVE IS MY FAVORITE CUPHEAD CHARACTER!
@Octane
Halo is coming to Steam. As much as I disagree with putting consoles and PCs into separate categories (fanboys love to do this to deflect comparisons between the two), you'd still consider Halo a console exclusive for Xbox. Cuphead on Xbox was the same way, until now.
Thank you MS!
This is fantastic, I've been eager to play Cuphead for a long time, and this is just the perfect system for it.
Now, is this going to get a physical release?
@sword_9mm yeah I think this is the way things are going look at Google’s recent announcement if you think about it kinda makes sense no console manufacturing costs let someone else do that and just bring over your service
time to get a lot of gameovers on the go!
Day 1
Awesome. Now I’ll actually play this game. Bought for my X at launch, but never played it because it didn’t feel right on that console. Now that it’s coming to Switch, however, I’ll definitely give it a go.
furiously typing news reports on every nindie, sweat everywhere
I'm not the double dipping type, but this truly amazing. 'Bout time, too!
@PBandSmelly Microsoft collab with Nintendo...? Ok, be that way.
played about 70% on the XBONEX its a beautiful game but also hella hard.
Love Cuphead on Xbox, so needless to say I'm really glad that it's on Switch! Also, there is a chance that Cuphead could BE IN SMASH
@Der
I thought you were being sarcastic
Obvious double dip for me.
Not my type of game, but great news!
@Mando44646 Play it anyways. You only live once! And the Nintendo version might be weirdly easier than on Xbox/PC. Certainly I was pleasantly surprised to find I found Trials Rising easier and more enjoyable on Switch than Trials games were on Xbox.
@Octane That’s just fanboys blowing things out of proportion. If Nintendo was to actually trade and exclusive for Cup Head it would be Sushi Strikers of something. Microsoft doesn’t have an ip as valuable as Mario. Period.
Glad I've held off until now. But now I want to hold off longer to see if there's ever going to be a physical edition.
@Kirbster1992 You fricken genius, that would be amazing to see Cuphead in Smash! Tweet campaign needed!!!
That's an EPOCHAL announcement, no doubt about it.
@PBandSmelly I was, I thought you were being serious. 😑
Hey Microsoft.
You're ok.
@Lionyone It's like you said: a case with a code. Not the same.
The thing is some sources said that the physical edition, collector's included, would come along with the long awaited DLC, but it doesn't seem to be much info about this. I only hope it doesn't take much longer, I want this game since I knew about its existence, and it was a major disappointment when it got released only digital. But soon after that they promised a retail version that is taking a looong time.
I'm so buying physical of this. I feel hot just thinking about it! I'm going to tweet-beg Microsoft and Nintendo and the studio who made it to make it physical.
If it doesn't come physical I'll get digital.
@faint Even if it's a small IP, I'd be shocked for any company to willingly give one away. Not just Nintendo either, it just seems to be a general thing with game companies to keep IP's and let them sit (or in the Big N's case, have them cameo in Smash ).
I wonder if this might be a means to help the game sell in Japan, sort of like with Minecraft since XBox was never popular there, and computers haven't really been too big either. I've never been too interested in Microsoft, but it's still weird to see one of the big console companies being so buddy-buddy with each other, heh.
Wow..... I mean......wow
Best announcement of the Nindies Showcase by far, not just because of the game but what it means for Microsoft and Nintendo's future collaborations. Maybe Banjo in Smash will happen!
I seriously think Cuphead on Switch will be the best version of Cuphead. You've surely all noticed how the Switch processor and graphics chip and screen are all optimised for cartoon style graphics. No other console or PC can match the fun and beauty of cartoon style games on Switch.
Hopefully the game itself is improved in its Switch offering to make it a little easier and faster. But even if it isn't I think the Switch version will still be the most fun and intuitive and easiest version of Cuphead to play. Bring it on! Let's all have cups of tea!
Depending on pricing, I'll be grabbing this on the Switch at some point. It's received such praise that I don't feel like I can ignore it for forever. XD
Wish this was available today... now that would have been a bombshell shadow drop! Instead of the meh they shadow dropped.
@Alstil Well because it got a physical edition for the Xbox and it would be awesome. I just hope its not like $30+ But $19.99 would be a great price. I just checked the price on the Microsoft store it says its $19.99. hope nintendo doesn't raise the price.
@Octane Good news. Halo is coming to steam now lol.
N64 Golden Eye incoming (.....well, at least half the issue can now be resolved, maybe)
I've wanted this for so long... I could almost cry right now.
@NinjaWaddleDee @Spudtendo lol, never mind in that case. They're just handing out IP like candy at this point. Is there still a reason for me to own an Xbox One at this point?
That was such a perfect trailer to open the presentation. I was like "huh?" and then I was like "YESSSSSSS"
YES! YES! YES! YES!
@faint You're probably right. Though Halo is kinda big, not as iconic as Mario, that's certain, but still.
Did the milk spilling on the table signify a multitude of gamers wetting themselves a moment later?
I bought it on PC via GOG to have it DRM-free. It also plays well on Linux. It's hard, but I think its difficulty is overstated by some as the game is quite beatable. It's fair in that the game makes it clear what you need to do, it's just tricky to make it happen. But I do love run-n-gun and boss-rush games. Some of the toughest bosses in the game were my favorites to replay. It's a bit surprising to see it on Switch because it was originally a console exclusive for Microsoft. Perhaps the Switch is not considered a console in this case. Also, the fact that it's been out a while may have helped. Offering it on Switch is a way to boost sales as most people who wanted it already bought it. Good news for any Switch fans interested in it. And the PC requirements weren't especially high, so it may run very well too.
This is so cool. Cuphead not being on a Nintendo platform felt so wrong.
YES YES YES!! Thanks, Microsoft.
The same day that I'm having my gallbladder removed. It's like the Gods of Good Fortune have smiled down and said "here you go, buddy boy!" Day one (duh!)
@Octane ...Now if only Sony would do the same...I wanted to try out Horizon Zero Dawn, a switch version would've been nice. TwT
Start of the video was so good and super weird. Bravo. Also, yeah the game....I heard it was extremely hard but those visuals phew!
@Octane
Who says this is the game the leak was referring to?
This could just be the appetizer. Ori is almost certainly coming as we've had several leaks. Which means this could just be the beginning...
Also, the leak saying "like Mario on PS" isnt necessarily saying it will be as impactful as Mario on PS. It was meant to explain the kind of impossibility, as some weren't sure if it meant a cancelled game or what have you. Mario on PS conveys "it was impossible similar to how Mario on PS is impossible", not similar in magnitude
update
King Zell clarifies Cuphead was not the game he was referring to... bigger things are coming
@Octane the sales of Halo are actually on par with Animal Crossing (believe it or not).
@Octane It's now a case of options rather than "have to buy console because of exclusives". Remaining XB1 exclusives are Halo 5 (only Forge part available on PC though that could easily change after MCC/Infinite happens), a few delisted Forza games (Motorsport 5, Horizon 2) and Kinect games (e.g. Kinect Sports Rivals, Dance Central Spotlight). Think that's it.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
@Octane I think they just want as many people playing it as possible. Honestly, I wish other companies like Sony and Nintendo would do the same thing.
I'm all for this new benevolent phase from Microsoft. First Halo on PC and now Cuphead on Switch, I am quite happy
I'd be so in love if we got Gears of War next. Even just a trilogy port would do.
Im looking forward U cuphead
come on come on come on Ori and Halo HD!!!!!!!!!!!
@Octane
No game or franchise is the equivalent of Mario on PS4. I don't even think it was the same rumour. Plus stop listening to rumours.
PS4 is Japanese shame.
@Grumblevolcano There is a huge pile of Xbox 360 games they could port over. Fable Trilogy? Halo Reach? Retooled Kinect Games? The Kinect itself?!?
Well this is a must get, probably a day one purchase, I love my old school platformers and the art style is super appealing as someone who grew up on Looney Tunes
@Octane Uhh, Halo is the reason why the Xbox took off and why Microsoft is on the console market still. It's mad popular
That is massive news, absolutely no doubt about it
£16.99 is a great price, just preordered. I am going to be busy over the next few weeks with Yoshi and Cuphead
Friggin sweet! I am so happy to hear this news!
@NinjaWaddleDee I think it would be good for Nintendo to sell some of their smaller franchises elsewhere. It could give them financial encouragement to bring things like the excite series back or make an hd remaster of eternal darkness viable.
Excellent news. Well done to both companies! 😊
Finally!!!! There goes the only reason to an Xbox, so glad I have a switch right now.
I'll use my red joy-con to play as Cuphead and my brother can play Mugman using my blue joy-con.
@Malcrash he did say it was. We’re just saying it isn’t a lucrative as Mario. That’s a fact.
How exciting!
Microsoft has a history of eating it's friends. Be careful Nintendo.
@Trajan So does Nintendo 😂
@Octane Nintendo clearly thanked their "Microsoft friends" on the trailer of this game so I am sure that what you say is inaccurate.
Awesome. This is an amazing game, and everyone should pick it up.
Incidentally, the cutscenes not being animated was pretty much my one complaint about the game.
I want to thank Microsoft. This is awesome, and didn't have to happen. Nintendo and Microsoft made it happen.
Also, somehow I got the impression that Slay the Spire is coming to Switch. Thought that might've been part of the showcase...
Also, I recently played Death Tank on Xbox 360 and it is awesome! I would really love to have a deluxe version on Switch with online and local multiplayer coop and competition. Maybe they could even increase it to a 6 player game. I've always loved Worms, since the first PS 1 release, but I think Death Tank might be better. It's simultaneous Worms. Or it's like Party Golf where you are all attacking each other instead of trying to sink your ball. Such classic gameplay shouldn't be hidden away in an old Xbox live digital release!
This is amazing! So excited! Only thing that could top this would be RareReplay/Banjo!
Tempting but have it on X and as well as it's suited for Switch, I'll probably pass until a sale
@GetShulked Rare Replay seems like a no brainer
Now give me some Ori😋
@faint
Totally, given Rare's history with Nintendo fans! When asked, I remember Phil Spencer said it's up to Rare to bring it over! Here's hoping!!
My daughter is gonna love this. She watches a lot of Cuphead gameplay videos and loves the game, even with having never actually played it.
@Medic_alert Right back at you. It seems a perfect fit for switch and they'd make a load of cash. Love to play that on the go.
(You used some not so lovely language - Matthew010)
@Moroboshi876 I hope they keep it digital only, as I do not want financially penalised so people can have a retail edition.
@UmbreonsPapa let’s face it, none of us are gonna get past the first level. She’ll probably put more seasoned gamers to shame!!
@GetShulked I’d love to have those old N64 games on the go, but the big win for me would be a console perfect copy of Viva Piñata on the go. 😄
@Damo But it is a gaming platform, it doesn't make it less valuable just because you can't hold it. #SoftwareLivesMatter #StopSoftwareCruelty
Cuphead will sell tons on Switch.
My...my...my!! The Switch is looking too attractive to ignore to these devs. I'm sure Switch will be the best selling console of the year. No question! This is great news. Now PLEASE BRING ORI!!! Trust me...you all who haven't played Ori and the Blind Forest will thoroughly enjoy. It's one of the best indies I've ever played in my life.
8 notifications, it's a sign you've said something wrong
@Joeynator3000 @NinjaWaddleDee Nah, I think exclusives are a good thing. Nintendo and Sony exclusives are generally of higher quality than third party games, simply because they exist to sell a console, and not necessarily to make money. I rather buy an Xbox than play their games on my PC or PS4 as odd as it may sound. Without the need to sell a console, there's no need for high quality games. And I don't want to hate on MS, but apart from Forza, their recent games have all been a bit ho-hum.
@JaxonH Oh well, in that case colour me surprised. I'm not sure which rumours are credible anymore.
@Cosats Do you expect me to actually watch the thing? Of course not! I'm your average angry internet forum goer. I just see an article and I comment on it! That's the way of life
Have it on Xbox One, but I’ll definitely play this on Switch.
@Joeynator3000 And I've just learned that Heavy Rain, Beyond Two Souls and Detroit Become Human are heading to PC. So maybe there's hope for you after all lol...
@Octane
update
King Zell clarifies Cuphead is not the game he was referring to with "previously impossible like Mario on PS".
Says to "wait for it"
Bigger things are coming my friend (eh hem, Master Chief Collection)
What’s funny is that when it was first teased I thought we may be getting We Happy Few. Glad to have been proven wrong.
@JaxonH This has been a weird week for the gaming industry. I think I need a drink or two
YES!!!! This is major news.
What a big day for Nintendo.
Played a bit of this on xbox. It's tough as hell. Not sure I should get this as throwing my xbox controller across the room in frustration might slightly scratch it, but throwing my switch across the room could cost a lot more.
Banjo! Kazooie! Conker! Battletoads!!!! Killer Instinct!!!!!
@JaxonH
I still maintain nothing equals "Mario on PS4".
@JaxonH File size would be way too big for MCC on Switch natively.
This is still a smaller game, and I'm not quite ready to jump on the Halo/Switch hype train yet. But I've gone from a little dismissive to just skeptical of that recent rumor.
Finished it on Steam last year, but I will buy it again on Switch for sure!!
@rdrunner1178 Yes!!! That game needs to be next.
The most beautiful side scroller ever.
i wish mario had some of this beauty everything feels alive.
This was easily the best news of the whole showcase!So excited for this!
Hopefully online co-op but I doubt it
@Octane The IP is owned by MS.
I really love how buddy buddy Nintendo and Microsoft are these days. Makes you wonder whether they'll join console forces fully in the future. Also definitely going to pick up Cuphead in the future, I love this old cartoon style!
Heck yeah! About time
Boom! Slowly getting through the list
https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/01/feature_30_third-party_nintendo_switch_ports_wed_love_to_see_in_2019
WHAT A NINDIE!
@SBandy
Well, nothing is supposed to "equal" it. The example was only given so people understand the type of impossibility, not the magnitude of impact.
Though with that said, Halo coming to Switch would indeed match magnitude of impact as well. It would be the flagship mascot of one of the 3 main console manufacturers going to another platform. That's exactly like Mario on PS. Halo on Nintendo. Uncharted on Xbox.
Hey guys! Cuphead confirmed for physical! But itll be an amount of time after April 18
I'm pretty excited for this. I only own a Switch and my PC barely runs Project 64, let alone anything modern, so I never had the opportunity to play it. Even though it's $6 more expensive in Canada, I still think it's a good deal. Day one for sure!
I'm notca fan of drinking tea from Cupheads but it's okay. I don't care anymore.
Kind of sounds like Microsoft is exiting the hardware market and that the Xbox will be an app/brand for their gaming.
Please give me the HD remaster of Banjo Kazooie, that's all I want
Yes that is a day one buy for me
That's cool. Would be also great is we could get the Ori games on Switch.
@Octane You clearly misread the part where Microsoft gave permission for it to be ported. Read next time.
@mikegamer Google paid them to say that.
@JaxonH
I disagree but I guess we will see!
Eww, achievements.
Hmm anyone else think this is just the first of more games to come that were exclusive for Microsoft
Now if I can just have my progress carry over from XBox to my Switch...
@Mando44646 there’s adjustable difficulty with an easier mode for many levels
I called this months ago! Your welcome
To hell with Master chief, crackdown and all those crappy exclusives.. This is the only xbox game I want. Already pre order it.
Makes you wonder what other Microsoft properties is making the Switch. Heh.
Anyway it's Cuphead.
Pre-purchasing soon!
@Octane The main reason it’s a surprise - is that there was a huge amount of people who believed it was both not possible technically and also, that Microsoft would not allow it.
Of course it’s the same as as any game coming across, but the point is that until today, it was assumed by most people that it wouldn’t happen.
woo. So..... #BANJOKAZOOIEECONFIRMED!!??
@Captain_Toad Ori and the Rare titles is possble
Good news everyone! Not only is the game getting a physical release, but they are waiting to release it until after all DLC is out, so that the game card will contain both the game and the DLC.
🎶Well, Cuphead's on his way🎶
🎶his pal Mugman in tow🎶
🎶Going adventuring🎶
🎶to escape the devil's throw🎶
🎶You can play at your home,🎶
🎶but now here's something rich🎶
🎶You can play while you roam🎶
🎶Cuphead's comin' to Switch! 🎶
With Nintendo and Mircosoft becoming increasingly pally, what could this mean for Goldeneye64?
I cannot wait for this to drop.... Everything will be pushed aside when it becomes available. I have some work to do in the next few weeks
Beyond excited for this. I love indies that respect historical eras and bring them to life. Cuphead pulls the 1930s right out and makes it fresh for the modern crowd.
This looked hilarious but I’m getting a little apprehensive about getting this since everyone is saying it’s so hard. So where would this sit next to Hollow Knight? That is my new threshold for how much I’m willing to torment myself.
@AllHailQueenBoo Same difference!
@FTL Yeah, I based that one that one rumour, but apparently they said there's still something big coming to Switch; ''the Mario on PS4'' equivalent. This wasn't it apparently.
@Jokerwolf The Cuphead IP is not owned by MS. It's Studio MDHR's property.
@Jokerwolf @Rafie From my understanding, Microsoft doesn't own the ip. But it's a similar situation to Bayonetta, where Nintendo funded development, with the agreement that they would have exclusive publishing rights for one or more games. At least for a fairly long time.
So while this isn't the same as a first party Microsoft exclusive. It is still very significant, and required some sort of agreement involving Microsoft.
Since this was the sole reason I gave in and bought an Xbox One last July, I wonder how many more consoles they sold during that “exclusive” period. After the last wave of rumors seemed to be squashed, I wasn’t really expecting an all-out Switch release, but it really does feel like a game that ought to be on a Nintendo system. Between this and Mario Maker in June, my Switch is getting a huge boost to its library before this year’s even half over.
I always like to replay the games I enjoy most, so I certainly don’t mind a fresh new version to play through. I hope all the new touches stay as true to the 30s style as the original, though.
And to those who are worried about the difficulty, it’s not as bad as some make it seem. I didn’t think I’d be able to make it through, but I was even able to earn the two color filter mode (which requires you to get an A rank on almost every level). There is a bit of variable luck involved, but it’s mostly patterns you can learn and master.
This is great news. But please, PLEASE tell me you can turn achievements off. Or at least turn off the notifications for them. I can’t stand them.
Real talk I went back and forth about whether I should buy an Xbox One just for this game, so this is a nice surprise for me being a lifelong Contra fan.
@Jimsbo Thanks for talking about the difficulty. That is the one thing holding me back from buying. But if I can beat Celeste (with 1000s of deaths) I want to try this game.
@The-Chosen-one Wow, could you imagine if Nintendo did the next sidescrolling Mario game in this art style or a similar style? I think that would be awesome.
@dkxcalibur
exactly!
@CupidStunt That depends on them actually. So far we've seen digital only games for as much as 40 (Yooka-Laylee), games that cost the same digital and physical and games that cost less digital than physical (Axiom Verge).
This looks like a great game but this statement was hard to take seriously"Cuphead is a direct descendent of retro action games like Contra on the NES,". For Reals? I don't think so.
Now where the hell is Battletoad?
@rdrunner1178 Yes. We need Banjo-Kazooie on the Switch. It'd be perfect. So'd Goldeneye on the same cart, especially when paired with 8bitdo's Bluetooth N64 pads.
@Octane Who crapped in your cereal?
@mikegamer Google probably
@ottospooky please can you reply to me. Thank you
@ottospooky James please stop this now. It's destroying me
@Damo little late but never a bad time to correct misinformation! Was Cuphead available for other platforms? Then it was never factually exclusive. Adding 'console' in front of the term only shows you fell for MS' marketing ploy to detract from their severe lack of exclusives. They haven't had one since 2015 and won't anymore. Add in Phil's recent claim of 'no more Xbox exclusives going to Switch' and you have a blanket statement as NO exclusives have come to Switch yet.
