Cadence of Hyrule - Crypt of the NecroDancer Featuring The Legend of Zelda announced (spring 2019)

I take it this is a series? I've never played these game before. Why does it look like your character is hopping from one square to the next when they move? This look really nice though.
It's a pseudo-rhythm game. All your movement and input is done on the beat of the music to maintain a combo to increase damage and effectiveness of attacks.
The best part for me is exactly that these games are almost entirely out of left field, aside from Starlink in the sense that it's very Star Fox-like in terms of gameplay. People have been asking for third party/Nintendo collabs for a while but they always seemed to be more "Have a studio that makes similar games to <x franchise> do a traditional <x franchise> game"; I find these wacky crossovers to be much more refreshing than that (although I wouldn't particularly be against that either!).
It's a rhythm game. The hopping is a fun way to visualize movement since you'll only be moving one tile at a time along with the beat. Here's some gameplay of the original.
This is absolutely dope. I tried Crypt of the Necrodancer, and while I love the concept, I don't like the Rogue-like system. Still, this is awesome to see. Never would have thought I'd see a cross-over like this. The pixel art is fantastic too!
And the 1st game is already available on the eshop, right?
because if it is, I'm gonna pick it up today.
It's not really a series (well, I guess it is now), but Crypt of the Necrodancer is a single game that has also had DLC releases. Cadence of Hyrule is the first full-fledged follow-up to the original game.
Art style looks amazing. For some reason it really reminds me of Minish Cap.
I'm into it and will day 1.

I don't think I'm gonna be the only one snapping this up today....
Okay... I'm gonna nitpick but it's literally the only thing about this entire announcement that kinda bugs me.
I think the typeface/logo is real boring. The lute is okay, but the text treatment feels real basic. Like I don't like looking at it.
EDIT: This is what I mean. Logo they used is just very uniform and flat. They could have adjusted scale or something to make it a bit more appealing.

I actually prefer these spin-offs because for any studio to be tasked with making a an actual Mario or Zelda is kind of a tall order. I mean, we know how Other M or Starfox Zero were received (and I don't particularly dislike Starfox Zero). Things like Metroid Prime seem to be more black swans than repeatable occurrences.
It looks like nintendo is now hungry to turn their ip into franchises. We can expect the switch era to have atleast two mashups per year which is fairly a lot.
That'd be a big missed opportunity if there isn't some reference to it.
Maybe I'm too late.
Tal Tal Heights remixes exist in both the dancing commercial and in the Cadence of Hyrule commercial music.
Indie devs just need to pitch in any Tal Tal Heights remixes + a nice gameplay pitch document = Get Nintendo IP rights to add into your game.

I was watching the presentation on my phone so I wasn't able to see the gameplay super well. When the music started kicked in I thought "This sounds a rip off of the Zelda theme. Good thing they're in a Nintendo presentation or that may not go over well".
That's a good point (and I enjoyed my time with SF0). The expectations for a project like that would be through the roof and it'd have such a strong chance to be received poorly.
Anything Zelda on Switch is an insta-buy for me. Helps that this looks fucking great.
I must protect him.
Now, please appreciateAThe Good Boy:

This is gonna be so great. Weirdly, the best part about this crossover isn't the Zelda characters or environments that'll be in it but that music. The first one already had an amazing soundtrack, but taking the series with easily the best chiptune songs in gaming and combining it with Necrodancer is actually a match made in heaven.
And just when I thought my hype couldn't get any greater, the trailer whips out motherfucking Tal Tal Heights which is a great sign that we'll get some deep cuts here along with the classics.

It's certainly not at the bottom of the list, but I don't think it's in the top 5-10 most popular either. It certainly not the Overworld Theme, Zelda's Lullaby, Song of Storms, Ballad of the Goddess, Lost Woods theme, et cetera.
Maybe once the remake comes out it'll get some more much deserved love, but as of now I don't think a song that's pretty much just on the Game Boy (IIRC) can compete in popularity with the themes that keep coming back with every new big 3D game.
So does Nintendo only let other studios use their IPs if they can keep a close eye on them? I'm still a bit bitter about the fangame shutdown stuff.
Perhaos a gossip stone (OoT)?Ok, but, umm, what's this thing?
Looks like some kind of door or monument with a Sheikah icon on itOk, but, umm, what's this thing?
It's a traditional, grid-locked turn-based roguelike but you get rewarded with extra damage and gold if you consistently move on the beat.
Nintendo has control and oversight in how the IP gets used and will get a cut of the revenue, this is really a completely different situation than AM2R.
Could be used for teleportation as it's in front of every dungeons.Ok, but, umm, what's this thing?
