Game Description

Dive into a breathtaking tribute to the golden age of animation with Cuphead on Nintendo Switch. In this critically acclaimed run-and-gun platformer from Studio MDHR, you take on the roles of Cuphead or Mugman—two brothers who’ve made a deal with the Devil at his casino and must repay their debt by defeating a host of bizarre, surreal enemies and monstrous bosses across multiple gorgeous, hand-drawn worlds. Each level bursts with personality—from swashbuckling pirate ships and creepy carnival midways to nightmarish dollhouses—making every moment feel like a cartoon come to life.

What makes Cuphead unforgettable is its blend of blistering difficulty and artistic craftsmanship. Every animation is hand-sketched, every background painted in watercolor, matching the rubber-hose style of 1930s cartoons. The game’s soundtrack, composed by Kristofer Maddigan, features jazz and big-band arrangements that feel like they stepped off a vintage record—perfectly synced with each boss’s attack pattern or level transition. Its gameplay loop—run-and-gun stages, parry mechanics, powerful special attacks, and boss fights of increasing intensity—rewards both precision and patience.

The Nintendo Switch version brought this award-winning indie gem to handheld and console audiences, offering the complete original game with faithful performance and stunning visuals. For collectors and fans of retro-inspired design, Cuphead stands out as a modern masterpiece that bridges nostalgia and fresh innovation—celebrated for its design, its soundtrack, and its uncompromising artistic vision.

Historical Trivia or Fun Fact

Created by brothers Chad and Jared Moldenhauer at Studio MDHR, Cuphead was announced in 2013 and built over years of painstaking work, with each frame of animation inked, painted, and animated by hand to evoke the surreal charm of 1930s Fleischer and Disney cartoons. Its 2017 release garnered widespread acclaim for its art style, challenging gameplay, and unforgettable soundtrack. Because of its unique visuals and punishing boss fights, it quickly became a must-own title among indie game collectors and platforming enthusiasts.

On Nintendo Switch, Cuphead preserved the complete original adventure while opening it to a new audience of handheld and console players. Physical editions are particularly popular with collectors, and the game’s crossover into broader pop culture—including a Netflix animated series and merchandise—has solidified its reputation as one of the most influential indie games of the modern era.
