The Cuphead devs would love to make a Zelda game
- Thread starter Richiek
- Start date
If you don't know how stupid your train of thought was, my bad.
Meanwhile they just had a spin-off that let a crossover character use the Triforce of Power and gave Gohma a pair of maracas.
Yes, but that's Crypt of the necrodancer with a zelda skin. What Nintendo won't be doing is letting random indie teams make actual Zelda games, which is what the quote sounds like the developer wants to do.
As for a Zelda skinned cuphead , which would actually be the equivalent to what cadence of hyrule is? Well cuphead doesn't lend itself to the Zelda style at all, so that ain't happening either. The suggestion of splatoon from the first page would make way more sense.
Yes. One of these, instead
Ya, I agree. Not saying they don't know anything about making video games with puzzles, but what do they know about making video games with puzzles?
Yeah because making a shooter means that's all they know how to do.
And no where in his post did he suggest that it should be free to everyone to use. Comprehension is something that exist.
In a similar vain it would be amazing to see them tackle a PS1-era, Final Fantasy-esque RPG, but with hand drawn cutscenes and battle animations instead of pre-rendered and real time 3D. Aesthetically something closer to the golden age of animation (Snow White, Pinocchio) would be a good fit as well.
Which I suppose is probably closer to what they're imagining based on that quote.

Obviously, but if Nintendo wants to extend their partnership with indies then studios responsible for critically acclaimed hits like Cuphead are obviously first choice. Disregarding that he obviously was just dreaming out loud.
I think the biggest issue here would be that Nintendo is unlikely to look for partners who want to develop a traditional entry for one of Nintendo's IPs. Cadence works because it got an entirely different hook than traditional Zelda titles, but when you propose a traditional 2D Zelda but with fancy graphics Nintendo would likely be like: Nah, we can do that ourselves, thanks.
I bought Cuphead thinking it was a platformer heh.
I dont really feel it perse, a Zelda in that style, but they can sure try!
I mean I don't know where you pulled this nonsense from, we just had a Zelda spinoff where the Armos Knights are a guitar-toting rock trio...
If they want to make a regular Zelda adventure game i don't think it will happen
If I remember correctly, an interview with the MarioxRabbits devs revealed Nintendo specifically telling them not to make a game in a genre they had already used for said IP.
Cadence of Hyrule is a rhythm game so Cuphead devs should come up with a pitch that isn't just regular zelda in a different art style

Ok, how is Metroid better suited for them? They've demonstrated a flair for 2D art, animation and varied bosses. Key to metroid is level design, exploration gameplay and nonlinearity. None of which have been demonstrated with Cuphead.
At this stage we can only talk about their general talent.

If they make it look like this, I'll dig it:
This would be great, or a Mario game in Yoichi Kotabe's art style.
Who said anything about actually using Cupheads style? I'm sure the artists at Studio MDHR knows how to draw stuff other than the 1930's cartoon style they used for Cuphead.
Nintendo needs outside development partners, both to boost their game output, but I also think it is healthy creatively. I for one love the Flagship-developed Zelda titles, not to mention Cadence of Hyrule.
Other posters were talking about wanting a Zelda in a Cuphead style.
I'm not opposed to Nintendo lending their IPs to outside developers or even indies, but studio MDHR is not high on the list of developers I'd like to see a Zelda game from.
I mean, yes, that is the gameplay theyve mastered in Cuphead to a ridiculously good degree. Many devs stick to what they know they do good.
It's more to do with your reading comprehension. Nowhere did I say what you implied I did, nor did anyone else so this imaginary stupid train of thought of yours you're projecting on me is indeed, your bad.
Zelda's been way overdone. I would rather them make that Master System version of Cuphead they mentioned or other Sega-inspired stuff.
Finally, we haven't had a Tingle game in a while and the second one was never released outside of Japan.
Damn reading some of these replies, whoog
Dev: It would be a dream to make this game
Era: No, you would be better suited making this other game
Someone mentioned the rule Nintendo has about not lending their IP to be used in the same style of game Nintendo already makes (IE lending Mario to be in a platformer, Cadence of Hyrule being a rhythm game) but didn't they do just that with F-Zero and Sega, and StarFox with Ubisoft? Though F-Zero was eons ago and I guess StarFox could be excused as just a cameo and not an actual full proper StarFox game... (plus they aren't exactly in the same tier as Mario and Zelda) hrmm :\
I'd be super interested in seeing what kind of action RPG the Cuphead devs would make, with or without the Zelda license. Would the overworld be top-down and dungeons side-scrolling? Would dungeons also be top-down? Would the entire thing be side-scrolling like Adventures of Link? What kind of art style would they go with and would in just be purely aesthetic or would it influence the gameplay in some way? MDHR are extraordinarily talented but it's a double-edged sword if they continue to do hand painted/animated games, since it'll take so long in between releases. I can't even imagine how expensive a fully hand animated Zelda adventure game would be, let alone how long it would take to complete. How long was Cuphead in development for again?

Lmao exactly, it's good to see that "team makes one style of thing, that's all they can do and anything in a different genre is incomprehensible" isn't something that is only applied to movie directors
