Why Cuphead Is Even Better on Nintendo Switch

Tom: “In the best gaming news that's happened in forever, Cuphead is finally on the Switch. I've played it, and it's good.”

In the words of the great, great Kevin Bloody Wilson: "Oh shit I don't believe it here we fuckin go again!"

Man I gotta say that this switch overhyping is actually pretty pathetic. Before switch over the last 8 years heard everyone in gaming journalism completely overlook a quality system. And now they are overhyping the current with “better” on the switch when I literally can play this game on any computer and Xbox. But hey! Gaming journalism gotta spin that bias heavy

[CorndogBurglar]

Yeah. I own a Switch and PS4. I love them both. I'm definitely a Switch supporter and nowhere near someone that hates on it just to hate on it.

But this is a bit ridiculous. What, its better on Switch because its portable? I don't see any other way that the Switch version would be considered better.

[Elda]

LOL!!! So everything is better on the Switch.

[ScootaKuH]

Everything? Even sex?

[CorndogBurglar]

Don't knock it till you try it.

[bluefox755]

Lol, sure it is.

I've actually had a ton of fun playing this on my Surface Go paired with an Xbox One controller, but I hope Switch users really show up for this game...its a classic for sure.

[Ricegum]

No one asked.

[SurgicalMenace]

Toxic....he simply stated his view.

[CorndogBurglar]

No one asked for any opinions or statements you ever make either, chump. Maybe you need to learn how message boards work.

[Neonridr]

I already started playing yesterday. Love the game :)

[NarooN]

How many of these lazy-ass "THIS THING THAT RELEASED A WHILE AGO IS BEST PLAYED ON THE SWITCH!!!11!!!!" articles are we gonna get? Holy hell.

[Imortus_san]

This entire gen, it's called damage control.

[SurgicalMenace]

I just heard this game sucked before it released on the Switch.🤷🏾‍♂️ In fact, no one knew it existed.

[Livingthedream]

You're joking right? ?

[SurgicalMenace]

Of course I am being VERY sarcastic. 😂

[PhoenixUp]

Loading times are longer on Switch than they are now on Xbox One & PC

[Neonridr]

really? Seemed pretty fast to me. Was playing it just yesterday..

[PhoenixUp]

Digital Foundry pointed this out

[Imortus_san]

Because its crap with the joycons due to lack of proper diagonal in the D-Pad.

[Neonridr]

yep, I prefer to play it with my Pro controller.

[thesoftware730]

I understand.

Like it or not, being able to take , great, big and small, AAA and Indie games on the go, in your bed, on the shitter, on your patio, a rooftop party(lol ) or just to a friends house who might not have the same game is huge. some people even have very seditary jobs with tons of downtime or overnight shifts..being able to play, Excellent full fledged games so efficiently is huge.

I know people will say the Vita did the same thing..and to that I will say, same concept, way better execution and games on the switch, which makes all the difference. We can pretend that portability and the ease of docking to the T.V is not the selling point, but the proof should be clear to most of the nay-sayers...ask yourself. why is it selling so excellent around the world? Nintendo first party? Nope, they had that on the Wii U..is it the increase in 3rd party? Nope they still have less big 3rd party games than MS or Sony, and lacking a great deal of big games. is it online? Nope, its bare bones, is it indie games? nah..most are not exclusive to the system....so why is it selling so well? one simple answer....PORTABILITY, YOU CAN TAKE IT ANYWHERE EASILY!

People love to pretend its not that big a deal..but in truth...to the masses and not the vocal "only like one console fanboy" and the "Nintendo is for kids haters". It Really is a big deal

for me it was when I booted up a game like Wolfenstein 2. I sat there for a second.. looked at the size of the Switch.. looked at the game with all its complexities and detail. And said to myself, I can't believe I am playing Wolfenstein 2 on a device that's slightly larger than a Galaxy Note. No it's not as pretty as my PS4 Pro, but that thing is considerably bigger. I want to play my PS4 games on the go, but I can't. I also own a Vita, so anyone who tries to use Remote Play I will challenge that it is nowhere near as reliable or seamless. Which is what I love about my Switch, just take the device with me and play as I go.

I understand that people don't put much weight in portability, but for those people who actually own a Switch, it truly is something special. Yes other handhelds had the ability to take your game with you, but those were handheld games, with major concessions due to their lack of power. With the Switch you are getting a near identical experience whether you are playing on your TV or taking it with you.

It's better to have as a game on the go for sure, but the paddle controls are really not that comfortable to use in a twitch game like this.
