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

Me too. It must have to do with my hand placement when playing in portable mode.
This is discussed in the DF video. Seems to be a bug that will almost certainly be patched. Fortunately it's relatively uncommon and usually goes away on your next attempt.
That would seriously be the greatest thing ever. I would enjoy the game even more if I knew that Teeth was doing the intro song.
Oh no, I can't sing like that. That's Shoptimus Prime.
I'm just the voice of "Knockout!" and "Victory!".
Really temped to triple dip on this for the novelty of portability, but I may wait until the DLC is out and trying to clear a backlog.
For those having trouble, what helped me finish normal was ignoring the charge shot on your first playthrough and use your limited coins on other stuff. I'd even say save the spread for later and just prioritize the horseshoe one (can't remember the name) and the chaser, and buying the heart upgrades. It makes some fights longer, but the trade off of extra lives for more damage and more random hits on enemies when I was spazzing around was easily worth it for me. I had to give up the invincible dash, but I just wasn't precise enough to make the best use of it. I think you couldn't get the extra hearts until you bought a couple other things first, but you could check a guide. This of course comes with a big YMMV, as your style may differ, but it got me through the first time after having given up for a while.

Oh, wow. That's seriously awesome.
Are you also the voice that says "A brawl is surely brewing" and other intro quotes?
No, I believe that's one of the Shoptimus Prime guys. I believe I provided a voice sample for "Wallop!" early on, but it sounded terrible and got scrapped. Just my outro samples managed to escape the editor's knife.
Damn, this game is good. Beating a boss gives me the same feeling as doing so in Dark Souls. I feel pretty pushed to my limit already though and I'm maybe only halfway through. Im hoping I can push through the whole thing.
Soundtrack is perfect too. Does each boss have its own song? Seems that way so far.

That's awesome. Fantastic job!
Who does the voice of the pig vendor. Definitely the funniest voice in the game.
This is nuts. I keep looking at my Switch in disbelief of what I'm playing. Loving every second
Try hitting the jump button earlier. The parry window is active for about half a second after you hit jump again in the air, so you can literally initiate the parry, then run into the object.
Often times, if you're trying to hit a parry the exact frame you contact the pink thing, you're gambling with being a frame too late.
Loving it. Almost done with the first island and the game is kicking my ass. On Normal!
Speaking of, I only see Easy and Normal when starting a level. I presume you have to beat the game to unlock harder difficulties. Does it go straight to Expert from Normal or is there a "Hard" difficulty in between?

Straight to Expert and yep you need to finish the game to unlock it.
I always felt like the soundtrack was the one thing about this game that's not a note-perfect match to the 1930s. It feels more like 1950s or 60s jazz to me. Those old 30s and 40s cartoons had less big-band brass and more slower-tempo strings and woodwinds in their tunes, and had more of a muffled sound.
Like some others have asked, any estimate on when to expect a physical release? I really want it *now* but don't want to double dip if we're talking a matter of weeks. If it's coming after the DLC is released, is it safe to say that physical is still several months away?
It's way more than several months away. Like, there's no way a physical version is coming out in 2019.
Thanks for the answer, the info I'd heard before was vague and made me think it was gonna be way sooner than that. Downloading now!
It may be something to do with the input lag on your TV screens? Going from 100-30ms to 0ms lag on the switches screen can feel substantially different.
Just beat the first airplane boss. She was no joke I tell you. I'm getting B and B- ranks for a first time player. Is that decent?
It's good practice but to actually make progress you have to beat bosses on regular.
I remember making a bet with a friend about Cuphead. The bet was to beat the game in less than 2 hours for my first playthrough on Steam, thinking it would be a platformer game only. Well, it was not and I lost the bet by one hour. The charged shot was pretty OP, I don't know if they changed it since then.
I fell in love with the game and did all the achievements afterwards in 10 hours total. Good times.
Hope you are all enjoying it right now.

Cool thanks, looks like I'll focus on getting A+ before starting a new level
Beat the game in under 3 hours when you went in believing it to be a standard platformer? Either that's a pretty big humble brag or I suck at the game. Likely both.
As I said, the charged shot was pretty damn good, it may help you.
Edit: I just checked my steam profile, between the achievement of the first boss defeated and the final boss, 3h40 passed. My memory deceived me a little :-(
Yep, I was planning to hold out but I've really been itching for another playthrough lately. Hearing that the physical release isn't coming anytime soon is sure making this tempting...
