Thoroughly deserved. Brilliant game and as someone who doesn't own an Xbox/gaming PC, I'm very grateful this came to Switch at all.

cuphead is quickly becoming one of the greatest games I've ever played. Not having a PC or Xbox i thought i'd never get to play it as well.

Given that Xbox has no games, that's a really good performance for a non-game.

Seriously though, Cuphead is amazing and I'm really pleased to see it get more exposure. Well deserved.

I'm looking at the eShop chart every 3 days or so and it never left the 1st spot here on the French one.

Worth mentioning that a lot of the games on the lower ranks got a boost due to the rather long sale Europe had although I am not sure if the charts are based on units or revenue (I assume the former).

I'm surprised to see Dragon's Dogma is only at 14. It has been in the top 3 of the UK store charts since it came out.

Great game. I've been enjoying it a lot.

Question: a few weeks ago there was an update on the PC version of Cuphead that added Japanese, Chinese and Korean text among other stuff.
Did the Switch version also get that update?

the switch version launched with that content, the xbo/pc versions got updated to have version parity with the switch version, which included more localizations, mugman playable in single player, as well as optimizing the size of the game (if i'm not mistaken the game takes a lot less space on xbo now)

Great for that relationship between Nintendo and Xbox and can't wait for more titles. Bought Cuphead even though i had it on Xbox to support. Great to see Gungeon so high up too after the sale. Will be interesting to see where the slew of new titles this month(steamworld etc) come in next months charts. I imagine Cuphead will sit top for a very long time.

I've totally forgotten, but what is Nintendos release this month? Know they tend to stick to one a month.

But the patch notes on Steam said that, when played in Japanese, the Title texts when beginning a stage would display special Kanji.
I changed the Switch's language to Japanese and the title screens are still in English (while the rest of the game is in Japanese).

Cuphead is such a unique gem. Not only it plays well and is creative as hell, but it's safe to say that unless a Cuphead 2 is in the works, nothing that is even remotely comparable to its visual style and identity will be released in the next decade. Not a lot of games can claim to have such a detailed, unique and hard to pull off look as Cuphead, which will forever keep it in people's minds as a timeless experience imho. And well, it's a great game on its own, and would have been fun even if it was shitty low quality Flash graphics from 2004. 100% deserved success.

It's definitely there and has been there since launch:

The title screen wasn't localized because the logo is the same log for Japanese localization. I was referring to all of the 'title cards' for each of the fights.

Oh wow, I could swear that I changed the console's language and I missed that!
Gonna try it again, thanks.

I'm not sure if changing the console's language will change the game's language if you've already launched it in a different language. Just go into Cuphead's Options->Language, then press left or right to change the language directly in the game itself. All of them are there for the choosing.
