GOTY right here can't wait to play day 0

Cuphead Below and Inside coming this year reminds me of the good old XBL arcade days
 
This worries me. I wouldn't be surprised at all if it slips to early 2017.

Which is fine if they need more time. But I'd love to play it this year!

I imagine that the extra platform levels are really taking up a lot of the time. I'm glad though, because I want this game to be something that I look forward to playing on a yearly basis.

This looks so good it's amazing what they have done in this style.

I hope we see more hand drawn games like this and Jotun.

Yep, if they need the extra time, they should totally take it. It's sure to be worth the wait.

...why am I watching this.

It only makes the pain of waiting that much worse.

And it made me remember I played it at Fan Expo and almost beat the double frog boss.

Pain.

This looks incredible, but also quite hard lol. Visually very busy at times too. Looking forward to it.
 
Glad to hear that there will be platforming segments to make the pacing a bit better. I hope most of the bosses don't have a ton of health. The blue one seemed to have too much.

They talk about this in the video, the boss health is increased if having two players as opposed to one, and it scales back down if one of the players die for one player to help give them a chance, which is why the boss goes down a lot faster when the IGN guy dies.

Yeah, none of the boss health values are anywhere near final yet. The slime in particular needs to be tightened up a bit.

Good to hear as well, though options are options with the difficulty, but finding the right middle ground for what's supposed to be a challenging retro game I imagine not being the easiest of feats.

It's a bit of a weird balance, because if the players never use their EX moves or Supers, the health bars are going to seem a bit too long.

Use them Supers!

Late last year they stated early 2016 then went dark and now are just saying 2016. Hopefully it comes out this summer. Perfect time imo

Booo, they changed the life bar, i think they changed the health system too, but the new GUI lacks the charm the old one had :C
 
I might need to bring my Oswald avatars back when this game comes out.

But I don't know if I can abandon Cheryl. I just.. can't.
 
I think its far to say that this is by far one of the best looking indie titles this gen.

Take note, all you devs that are making shitty pixel art crap.

Hey, no need to be rude. We can't all afford to make art like this and lots of people like pixel art.

Anyway, Cuphead looks amazing. Please stop taking so long.

Ok, this is going to be the best Xbox One exclusive. This looks so good.

Edit: oh shit it's coming to PC as well?
