Cuphead for Nintendo Switch |OT| Thanks to our friends at MDHR & Microsoft

whoa for real? Damn that sounds so good for a 2 year old game:D
Might have to have another go to see these story bits.
Without exaggeration, how in the fucking world have I not played this before now?
Beat 2 bosses on the second island and I am floored. Incredible game.

I've done this for a couple of games now previously had on PS4 or Xbox. Switch platforming is truly the GOAT and cuphead should be no exception.
There is no trick to this, wait for the balls to be at their highest point to dodge them. It's a matter of coordination and luck. (Yes, luck, you can beat the boss without him "spawning" this tiger phase)
I will try that. Haven't used it once
Didn't know that. Thought i had to beat each stage at least once.
This is exactly how I feel.
Graphically, nothing like this has been achieved before. It's in a class of its own, and I truly hope we see more and more from Studio MDHR in the future.
Man this is damn hard. I've been eyeballing this game on xbox/PC for 2 years, now it's on Switch and I'm wavering between buying it now and waiting on the physical copy. Dammit....
Did they ever allow you to finish the game on simple mode or is the ending still licked behind normal? I've never played it before but don't want to spend money on something im unlikely to finish
This game is just as incredible as it ever was. I never got too far on the Xbox One version, so I'll attempt to make up for it here. Really amazed at this port.
Years of Mega Man X taught me how to shoot, jump and dash at the same time by applying pressure on different parts of my thumb so not really :P
You guys are crazy. Shooting with the triggers? Get out of here. I guess you guys are mainly FPS gamers.
Shooting with the face buttons has been the norm for sidescrollers since the NES/SNES era.
Celeste is my current GotG. How much harder/less accessible is this? I loved the ability to instant retry.
The difficulty is very similar actually. Just like Celeste, if you go back to the early fights after beating the game they seem like a breeze in comparison. It also has the same quick reset feel to it and you can feel your progression on each boss/stage.
By the nature of the game, you will invest more time in each attempt than the quick deaths of Celeste. So you may get 4 minutes into a fight before you die/reset.
How is everyone finding the load times? I saw the comparison video but I'm wondering how it is when you're playing. Is it noticable or bothersome?
I don't know which comparison you saw, but one of the them was based on an old build.
It's good, no problems at all.
Never did finish it on PC, and loadtimes concerned me, but I purchased this morning on Switch and really am amazed at how accurate it feels and looks. Also, the loadtimes are very acceptable. Hourglass guy seems to only jump 4 cycles by my count when he shows up (~5-7 seconds total if I were to guess).
I haven't seen any loads above 10 seconds, not even close. Maybe a factor of the speedy mSD card in my system?

Downloaded this after work yesterday. Holy hell it's just such a tightly designed and fun game. I know I'm going to struggle big time to get through this but I actually don't even mind repeating the same boss or gun and run level.
I'm not very far but I'm at Helda. I haven't gotten to her last phase yet but I also haven't been using the shrink/speed boost to get out of tight spots. Gonna try that tonight.

Can't believe how good this looks in handheld...it's amazing. Plays buttery smooth as well, so good.
It's a quick load to get back in but if you die during a boss fight you're back to the start. It's tough but with enough patience even I can get through it...and I'm rubbish lol
I'm referring to the Xbox version but I'd imagine Switch is exactly the same.
I think it was the GameXplain one. It wasn't bad or anything, but I'm mostly interested in the load times after you die, since I am terrible at the game and will do a lot of that. I'm glad to hear it's not an issue.
Do you known if there is a new video showing the loading times? Guess I saw an old video too, the loading times where... Not that great.
I probably died more in that level than everything else in the game so far combined.
Incredible port through and through, but yeah, the Joycon's diagonal drift definitely takes some getting used to. The game plays like a dream on a Pro Controller.
I am having the HARDEST time deciding between Cuphead and Dragon's Dogma. I want both, but can only afford one, and it's tearing me apart. I'll get both eventually for sure, I just don't know what I want to play in the imminent weeks ahead.
Good to hear that im not the only one. It was really tough.
Cuphead i guess.
You have no choice as u have a deal with the devil so before u can play anything else, u have to pay your debts..

I beat it this morning with a sliver of health left. The spinning deals with the bouncing ball got me every time.
Really difficult game - but this game owns. Having a lot of fun with it, despite sucking.
Edit: Reading through the last few pages, it turns out I should have been dodging. Shit, that probably would've made this a lot easier.
Cuphead has the best soundtrack of the decade (it's not even close), and easily one of the top 5 best video game soundtracks of all time.
The amount of musical knowledge, authenticity, and pure talent that went in to composing and producing this soundtrack is unheard of in video games. It should be burned into history as one of the most impressive feats of musical composition in a video game ever.
It's an absolute shame that Kristofer Maddigan didn't win the Juno for Instrumental Album of the Year, because he should have.

I really really want to be good enough to buy this game, but I know it would be a mistake.
It's a shame, cos I love super hard platformers like Celeste, DKTF, platforming bits of Hollow Knight, Super Meat Boy etc. But when it comes to bosses? Naaaah. I'm absolutely terrible.

Didn't find a video with much comparison, but don't worry the loading occurs only in your first time entering a level(9 seconds), after you die it is an instant jump.
I think you might be surprised. I'm usually in the same boat as you. I remember getting absolutely destroyed by the bosses in SMB; but otherwise loving the game. I'm really enjoying Cuphead so far - it's hard but not insurmountably difficult.
Right? Speaking of which, who do I have to bribe to get a re-print of the 4 vinyl LP set? Never got a chance to get it in Canada, iam8bit shipping is pricey! Even the new 2xLP one that's up for preorder right now is $60 CAD shipped with the discount!
Cuphead for sure. Tough but fair. Lots of hours of gameplay. Incredible art (like GOAT discussion art design, it's that good). A soundtrack that sells on vinyl it's so fantastic.
Teeth any estimate on physical release?
