We've written enough times that we think the Switch eShop is becoming pretty darn good, and another game confirmation has added to that positive impression. Brace Yourself Games has announced that Crypt of the NecroDancer is coming to the Switch.
The AMPLIFIED DLC that's referenced is a prequel story that adds over 40 new music tracks, and as you can see in the video there'll be a new character and support for local co-op.
For those of you unaware, Crypt of the NecroDancer is part dungeon crawling roguelike, part music rhythm game. You fight through dungeons, looting them and trying to survive, while carrying your moves out in time to the beat. It's been hugely popular on PC in particular, and the soundtrack includes the likes of Mega Ran, while the AMPLIFIED content has a remixed soundtrack by OverClocked Remix.
There's no release date yet but this'll certainly be another welcome release on the eShop.

Yes!
Yes yes yes yes and a thousand times yes! One of my all time favorite Rhythm based games coming to a portable! Ohhhh yessss, come to daddy!
And it even comes with all of the DLC!?
Nice. Can never have too many rhythm games. Haven't played this one so look forward to giving it a go.
I played this some on Steam, it's pretty fun. Way too tough for me tough, I couldn't even get past World 2.
Loved this on PC, but it's the one game that is probably best played on a pair of JoyCon. Double-dips ahoy!
This looks crazy fun. I love the concept. And my daughter will eat it up, too. She is a dancing fiend.
Can't wait!
🤔
i dont play rhythm games but this looks pretty cool? any ideas on pricing?
@foodmetaphors Base game was $15 on Steam with $7 DLC. They might round it out to $20, but that's just a guess.
Base game is currently $3.74 on Steam. DLC is $5.24. The pack is $8.53.
Anyway, it looks good and if priced nicely on Switch, I'll bite.
This game is toooouuugh! But it has a fun, unique take on the rhythm genre. I wonder if they'll allow custom song usage somehow?
It's not a very good game to be honest
Great game, mixing roguelike and rhythm where the player and enemies are made to move to the beat of music done by Danny Baranowsky.
Picked it up back when it was still an early access title, which reminds me that I actually need to finish it...
I also hear the switch version will have an exclusive character
I do not have AMPLIFIED on Vita.
Can't wait to play it on Switch.
The game is tough and takes some getting used to, but it's fun and a very unique game due to its mashup of genres. I'd say it's like a rhythm, turn based, dungeon crawler kind of game
Alright, physical controls (played on iOS)! <3
Looks fun!
I'm still miffed it skipped the 3DS, the game's semi-pop-out sprite design would have been spiffy in 3D.
I guess it's time to save up for a Switch, because I loved this game on PC and playing it on the go would be a godsend.
I was about to buy this game on another platform today
I've spent over 70 hours rocking out on the Vita version, so I'm properly hyped to have Necrodancer on Switch!
Almost bought this on Steam before but knew I wouldnt get time to play it. It'll be perfect for the Switch. If the price is right I'll be buying.
I've got this on iOS, swayed by the massive love it was receiving, and just could not get on with it. Crypt definitely isn't for everyone, but those who like it seem to love it.
HUZZAH!
Question: does it let you use motion control? I love the game, but I'd love even more a version where I'd have to dance my pants off to play it.
@ohako
That could be a lot of fun!
