Announced during the Nintendo "Nindies" Direct in March,
Cadence of Hyrule - Crypt of the Necrodancer is probably one of the most out of left field announcements that Nintendo could have made — as it is unusual to see Nintendo allowing independent developers to use their IPs.
While Nintendo didn't reveal exactly when
Cadence of Hyrule - Crypt of the Necrodancer is releasing, they did tell us that the game should be expected at some point this Spring.
New information suggests that the game could be released as soon as this month, as
Resetera user GJ revealed that he got a "What to expect in May!" email from Nintendo, which obviously featured some release dates for other announced games like
Resident Evil Zero,
Resident Evil 1, and
Resident Evil 4.
The email also lists
Cadence of Hyrule - Crypt of the Necrodancer but doesn't specifically reveal a date; given that the email itself alluded to information about titles releasing in May, it is safe to assume that this
Crypt of the Necrodancer/The Legend of Zelda crossover will also be releasing this month.
As Link—or even as Princess Zelda—you’ll explore the randomly generated overworld and dungeons on a quest to save Hyrule. Every beat of each remixed, The Legend of Zelda tune is a chance to move, attack, defend, and more, so stay one step ahead of each enemy and boss…or face the music.
Cadence of Hyrule - Crypt of the Necrodancer is expected to release for the Nintendo Switch in Spring of 2019.
