Similarly to that last Mega Man in quality.

So, sorry if I'm behind and this is probably a dumb question to ask of a Capcom title on Switch, but is this a digital-only title? Or is it actually a full retail release? Do we know?
Same, I love it.
And it's more G&G. It would look horrendous like Nidhog 2 it would still buy it.
I'm closely on the opposite end. It looks great and the art style justifies the animation better than most 2D games so far.
I can certainly see that perspective. When I watch the trailer, I don't really dislike the animation until it gets to that big zombie flailing around after Arthur, which makes me think of the cheap animation in Plants vs Zombies. I honestly think it's something I'll get over and won't even notice at a certain point, but I do understand why a lot of the initial reaction is that it looks weird and off.
Are they using 3D models or 2D art for Arthur and the enemies?
I can't quite tell, they look odd.

Oh wow, it's like a painting come to life/gameplay kinda thing and it made the movement grow on me. It makes since with the art style and feel they seem to be going for.
It looks really, really smooth to play, great! Back to being mixed about the graphics though. I'll guess there really won't be a way to judge until I play it.
Doesn't look bad in motion. Also looks like they will have Ghosts 'N Goblins and Ghouls 'N Ghosts levels that you can choose between? I don't speak Japanese so I have no idea what was happening. One run looks like you started at Haunted Graveyard and the other was Torture Hill.
It really does look good! Personally I'm excited to get my hands on it and it's just awesome to see the series come back with a new entry.
The animation style is definitely growing on me, too. More importantly, the gameplay looks very tight and solid, taking the best elements from Ghouls and Super Ghouls.
I liked the detail that, at least in some difficulties, you die in three hits now, and the middle state between armored and naked sometimes has the helmet and arms, and sometimes the chest piece.

OK, this looks absolutely fantastic! I'm now completely sold on the artstyle after seeing a prolonged gameplay session. Probably my most anticipated title for February!
Yeah I'll wait for physical, just slightly peeved I'll have to play it a bit later than february because I really want to.
You could always double dip lol. It's not a full priced title.
I wouldn't put any hope in anyone other than Capcom releasing a physical copy. IIRC, LRG has approached Capcom before, and they weren't interested.
The running animation is still weird. It moves too slow for how energetic he looks while moving.
I hear people that had adverse reactions to the initial reveal and the apparent stiltedness of the animations, but just check out the Red Arremer in this latest clip:
LOOOve the animationes here. Clearly a lot of care and intentionality.
Doesn't mean they couldn't have done something new of course, but the obvious intention here is to recreate the retro experience.

Pretty sure it's keyed to the classic sprite and animations:

I think the difference is the original animation was a simple 2 frame pixel art.
Here they're taking static art and rotating it really quickly to make it move and it looks weird, almost like a cheap Flash animation game.
The art itself in this game is really good, I love how it sorta evokes the old arcade cabinet or the box art, but I'm still not a big fan of the way they've chosen to animate it. I'd rather choppy 2 frame animation (where the limb is actually redrawn in the new position) than the rotation they're using.
Also he should have a red beard like in Ultimate!
Still looking forward to the game, though.
Ok, that's fucking amazing, I changed my mind on the game after watching that. The gameplay feels super snappy and fast, looks very challenging and fun. The art style is also growing on me now. You can see in the zoomed in section with the fire gargoyle how it all has a nice acrylic painting style to it. Maybe I would've liked if they had made it a bit more pronounced but it's ok. Also loving the dynamic backgrounds and new enemy animations.
Day one
