If Microsoft is smart they will keep this game exclusive to Windows platforms. This game is one of those rare games that just screams unique and cult following.

Awesome...but scary at the same time. If that is Level 1 or 2 of the game then I am in deep doodoo, looks tough.
Man, I really hope this game sells like gangbusters, and sends a message that we really want more of this stuff!
for the first time, i'm interested in buying now. above £15 and i'll wait though.
Nope. They barely showed like 30 seconds of it. I want Cuphead now! What's the hold up Microsoft?
Wow. Mario much?
Quite obvious there was some major Super Mario World influences in the design. The platform levels seems somewhat basic and straightforward but certainly challenging. Doesn't appear to be checkpoints either so you have to complete a level from start to finish.
The boss battles range from fairly easy to controller snapping and it appears there are plenty of them.
The graphics and style are the star for me. I'd love to see a Mario game done in this style now with more animations and cartoon explosions. I have a feeling this game is going to score very well, I will buy it, and then play about 1/2 of it before I succumb to the stress.
Makes me think more Contra than Mario. Shooting, not headstomping. Eight Right direction aiming. Projectile dodging and boss battles.
The release date is definitely a victim of the hype this game has been receiving. Its become an important part of the MS lineup so they can't afford for it to be bad.
