Studio MDHR just announced that Cuphead was released today for PlayStation!
Since release, there has been much hubbub surrounding Cuphead. With its classic style, whacky story and intense gameplay, Cuphead has worked himself into the hearts of millions. He is even getting his own show on Netflix before too long. Also, let us not forget that the new DLC is also coming soon. The Delicious Last Course was teased a bit prematurely, but is surely on its way.
About Cuphead
In Cuphead, you play as either Cuphead or Mugman, brothers who made a bad deal with the devil. Now, you must journey to help the Devil collect his dues, lest ye burn in a lake of fire for all eternity. With plenty of boss fights and some pretty cool weapon and ability upgrades along the way, Cuphead has captured a large audience, all of whom now have the chance to try this game on PlayStation 4.
About PlayStation 4 release
With the PlayStation release, Studio MDHR also released an all new trailer to celebrate the occasion (which can be viewed below). They did not mention, however, when the Cuphead DLC will be coming to PlayStation. So that is something I will be keeping an eye on! The game is not currently listed on the PlayStation website, but should become available sometime today.
Good News For Xbox Cuphead Owners
In the press release about the PlayStation 4 version of Cuphead, the developers also mentioned a new update coming to the Xbox versions (which will also hopefully reach the PlayStation version). The announcement reads…
“So, to celebrate the wonderful players who believed in us from the very beginning, we’re also making another announcement: we will be bringing a free Special Update to Cuphead fans on Xbox, which will add a digital art gallery, behind-the-scenes commentary features, and playable soundtrack to the game. This update is still in the early planning stages, and we’ll be taking the time to get things just right, but we will be sure to share more when we have something for you that meets the level of care and quality we always strive for.”Cuphead PlayStation Release Trailer

The independent game community is quite a strong one, and has produced many games available for Switch!
Maybe the best thing about an indie game is that you know whoever made it really cared about what they were making. A true passion for one’s work tends to show in the final product. This much cannot always be said for some of the bigger games out there, that take many people to create. Many times, indies are even made by a single person with a drive to share a part of themselves with the world.
If you also happen to always be on the lookout for a good indie game that you can play on the Nintendo Switch, here is a list of the ones that I personally like and are available now. I like to keep track of the news on upcoming indies, like Calico and Mineko’s Night Market, as you know. But knowing about games coming soon is never as fun as finding out about some hidden treasures you may not know about that you can play immediately.
Baba Is You
Baba Is You is cute little puzzle game that uses word combinations to solve puzzles and proceed through the world. In the game, you will use your character to move different parts of sentences to change the world around you. You can sometimes even change the goal you have to achieve simply by moving the right words to the right place. The game has a very simple yet cute feel, and costs only $15.00 through the Nintendo eShop.
Untitled Goose Game
With the exploding popularity of this title, it might come as a surprise to some that Untitled Goose Game is actually an independently made game. Developed by House House and published by Panic, Goose Game hit huge with the gaming community for its whimsical and hilarious theme. Take on the role of goose that is determined to break the world to pieces with simple shenanigans. You can try out this indie hit for yourself now for just $19.99 through the Nintendo eShop.
The Touryst
You are just arriving at the Monument Islands. Want to go swimming? Or rather take a dive into the deep sea? Or do you want to visit the amusement arcade, do some shopping, dance at the beach party? Fancy some surfing? Or will you talk with the strange old tourist and listen what he has to say about these ancient mysterious monuments…This action/adventure arcade puzzler developed by Shin’en Multimedia is available now for only $19.99 in the Nintendo eShop.
Kine

Play solo or with friends in an attempt to not be overcome by demand, and “overcook” all of your dishes. Overcooked 2 is currently available on the Nintendo Switch and costs $24.99. A bit more pricey than the rest of the Indies, but rest assured that much TLC has gone into making this game as fun and whacky as possible.

Looks like we will have to wait just a bit longer to play as Ms. Chalice in The Delicious Last course.
The makers of Cuphead have decided that it will be best to postpone the release of the latest DLC, The Delicious Last Course, until 2020. Initially set for release this year, we now have a little reveal trailer to show you. Cuphead has been an exciting adventure so far, and we can’t wait to experience what the DLC has in store for us. With new weapons, items, levels, bosses and characters, this is sure to be one epic DLC worth waiting for.
What’s in The Delicious Last Course?
This most tasty DLC will include some very satisfying content, and it all starts with Ms. Chalice. That’s right, a whole new playable character with her own set of skills and abilities. These attributes will come in quite handy as you try to tackle the new boss fights, and overcome all the obstacles in the new map, the land of Inkwell Isle. Yet another sweet title to give us a taste of that island life! It will also be loads of fun to replay all the other levels as Ms. Chalice, tackling old foes in new ways!
