Cadence of Hyrule - Crypt of the NecroDancer Featuring The Legend of Zelda announced (spring 2019)

[AnimeJesus]

So how is Crypt of the Necrodancer? Should I pick this up for a 2D zelda fix?

It's very good if you like rhythm games, you have to move in sync with the beat...doubt it would scratch a 2D Zelda itch though.

 

[AnonymousApple]

It's been a few months since I played Crypt of the Necrodancer but I really enjoyed it, so looking forward to this.

Indies getting to play with Nintendo's toys beyond simple cameos will lead to great things.

But where does this fall on the timeline?

One step to the right, two to the left, three up and one down.

 

[ratcliffja]

Excuse my ignorance but is it turn based? I can't tell

Click to shrink...

It's rhythm-based. You do better when your actions are on beat.

 

[Gradon]

what th efuck omg i need it

 

[Dest]

Outta fucking nowhere. I'm absolutely in holy shit

 

[Big One]

I have to say: Holy. Fucking. Shit.

I'm even more hyped than LA remake

Click to shrink...

Yeah why would anyone want to buy that instead of this? Serious question. New game >>>> remake any day, and you know this game will be much cheaper too.

 

[tolkir]

We need a new gif with Zelda.

Asides from Phantom Hourglass, which official Nintendo game not Smash has Zelda playable?

 

[Saori]

This is amazing. Ahh, the music, so great.

 

[Brazil]

Absolutely fucking insane

SO

GOOD

 

[GulAtiCa]

Buying for sure

 

[Khanimus]

Imagine being an indie developer, and you just got the license to do a Zelda crossover/spin-off.

This is really blowing my mind. Nintendo is being way more flexible with their IPs lately.

 

[Deleted member 1635]

That looks incredible.

 

[Danstanster]

Excuse my ignorance but is it turn based? I can't tell

Click to shrink...

It's beat based. Think moving on the rythymnof the drum like DDR

 

[olobolger]

THIS.IS.AMAZING.

 

[Deleted member 176]

I loove the art style, reminds me of minish cap

they shoulda done links awakening

 

[Phendrana]

This looks surprisingly awesome. Much prefer this artstyle to the Link's Awakening remake.

it's almost like you don't have to choose.

 

[Pau]

Very excited to play as Zelda.

 

[EarlGreyHot]

Holy shit this looks incredible

[SpottieO]

Guess I'm getting Crypt of the Nevrodancer today lol

I've never played Crypt of the Necrodancer, but I may have to rectify that now.

What an amazing surprise

EXCEPT for the game she has been playable, where she has been playable?!

 

[Glio]

The fact that Zelda is first becoming a playable badass in an indie game is sad but welcome.

Hyrule Warriors?

 

[SweetVermouth]

This is cool but why this stupid movement?

 

[Kalor]

why do the characters hop? is this a strategy game?

Click to shrink...

It's a rhythm game. You move in time to the beat.

 

[aerie]

This is maybe the coolest game announcement in ages, and the idea of a wave of Indie developed Nintendo games is one of the most exciting things I can think of. I hope this is the start of something new, and even if not, this looks rad.

It's a rhythm game

 

[Serenitynow]

I'm guessing an internal understanding of the importance of music in Zelda as well as an appreciation of Crypt at Nintendo is what allowed this magnificent thing to happen.

 

[Big One]

This is cool but why this stupid movement?

Click to shrink...

I think it's supposed to be a roguelike.

Hyrule Warriors had various variants of Zelda playable, too.
And I feel like it's kind of disingenuous to say "Well except for these games here, Zelda never was playable!"

When the music kicked in, I was like, "Are they allowed to just put Zelda music in their indie game? Not even a soundalike but just straight up Zel-OH FUUUUUUUCK!"

 

[Danzflor]

Nintendo is giving the fucking Zelda license to an indie developer. We have been dreaming of this for years. The repercussion of this will be huge and amazing. That whole show was amazing from top the bottom, I'm so excited. Cuphead, the Red Lantern, Blaster Master and Cadence. Jesus christ, Nintendo just did a fantastic job today.

Got it, thanks!

 

[Phendrana]

Allowing indie studios to use Nintendo properties? This opens up so many possibilities.

Hopefully they give F-Zero to the Fast RMX studio!

 

[TubaZef]

Not only this looks amazing but creates a precedent for Nintendo partnering with Indies. Lots of possibilities there!
