The start of the new Nintendo-Microsoft partnership.

Cuphead will be fantastic on Switch.

Ori too possibly?

Cuphead.

Banjo, mate, just don't buy it, if Dark Souls was too much for you then Cuphead is going to reduce you to tears.

Now now don't be picking on Banjo :pac:

With Cuphead just announced for Switch, Microsoft have also just announced that Xbox Live integration for it will be coming after launch.

Nobody calls me chicken, Needles! NOBODY!
Been looking for something to relieve the high-stress high-stakes breakneck pace of Stardew Valley, this'll do nicely.

Mr.Saturn

Cuphead's great news- I was this close to picking it up on Steam last week. They also said they're having an indie sale this week and there's a few titles in there that I'd like to play, so I'm about to add to my backlog something fierce.

Well, don't say I didn't warn you...

A Cuphead dev over on Resetera has confirmed that it will get a physical release after the upcoming DLC has released. He also hinted that there will be some extra goodies with the physical release.

This is the best news.
I think I'll be holding off until it's out.
I'm going to be extra pushy and demand goodies along with, sticker sheets, comic books, soundtracks, whatever they can shoehorn into a Switch game case.

Haven't seen comic books but I've gotten Switch games with very meaty thick game manuals ('member them kids!! Granada does !!) Nicalis Inc do very goody heavy extras with their Switch releases.

Cuphead... Absolutely love the art style but it looks like the kind of game that will have me flinging the Switch in to the deepest body of water I can find.

It's tough but you only die because you made a mistake not because the game is cheap.

The music in it is brilliant as well.

Oh good, so I'll just take out my fury on myself instead of the Switch :pac:

I've definitely damaged an xbox controller over this game. It's very frustrating. The physical version should come with a rubber case for your switch so it doesn't break when you fling it across the room in frustration.

Ah yeah, but it also has a reputation for, ah, making it much easier to make mistakes than many other games do

Cuphead is excellent. Its tough but fair.

I'd try out a demo of it but I've been bitten a few too many times recently by platformers that get great reviews but turn out to be far harder or fiddlier than I can be arsed mastering, no matter how much I like the music and visuals (Super Meat Boy and They Bleed Pixels both come to mind - got a fair way through each on Steam, then hit a wall where it wasn't even slightly fun to keep trying to progress).

I feel up to the challenge after beating Hollow Knight and Celeste, both of which had me tearing my hair out at certain points! Does introducing a second player make it easier?

Mr E

Mod: Cuphead deserves its own thread.

Mr E

FYI it will be a 3.3GB download.

geotrig

I might fair better at it on the switch :shifty: haha

deadl0ck

I'll definitely be getting it. One of my mates in work has been raving about Cuphead - he's played the hell out of it and 100%'d all achievements etc (PC Version)

I'd be surprised if it doesn't sell more copies on Switch than the Xbox and PC combined. It's a perfect game for Switch and Cuphead is a great pick up and play game.

Just pre-ordered this now - I've been very bad with PreOrders this month - Yoshi, Final Fantasy X/X-2, Final Fantasy XII, Resident Evil 4, and now this.

If you love your Switch, you might not want to get too comfortable playing this in handheld mode :pac:

What time are we allow play at?

Is it still not unlocking? It wasn't for me this morning around 7am/8am, but Nintendo said 3rd party games can be as late as 12pm, but that time has come and gone.

Mr E

No sign yet, I just checked. I'll try again after 2.

I think it's 12pm US time.

Not unlocking here yet. Practically the 19th. Bad form really.

chrislad

As I type that, it's connected - seems to be good now, but there's a patch download right away it looks like.

Big spender! The two FF games I never played. Was delighted when I saw them on the Switch, until I saw the price.. Here's hoping they get discounted in a couple of months.

Mr E

I just beat the first 3 stages. This is as good as I had hoped.

hi guys,
i see its down for release for April 18 but when i asked in gamestop today they didnt know and said maybe if i check on gamestop website it might be a digital download for switch. they couldn't tell me in the store if it was a digital download either.. useless..
does anyone know if it is releases as a physical copy anywhere or a digital download. i see it available for xbox one as digital but need it for the switch.
cheers

Mr E

Digital only at the moment. Came out last night so it's available now.

Mr E

You can download from the eshop on your switch.

If you want, you can buy eshop credit in Gamestop.

I had some vouchers but yeah, it was a rough month! Done for a while though.

Finished the first world today on this. It very very good. Not super hard but still challenging so far. I'm sure it's going to get harder though.

Mr E

I'm on the flower. The only boss who has given me any real trouble so far.

chrislad

On the dragon in World 2 - tricky blighter, but nearly there. Onto World 3 after him.

Mr E

I'm about two away from the end of the second island. I've heard horror stories about the dragon.

crxsi09

i downloaded it after for my son. great gamehow do you do coop with the one set of controllers? we have tried pressing everything. or do you need to buy another set?
thanks
