Cuphead being announced foer the Nintendo Switch is probably one of the things that no one, even in their wildest dreams, could have forseen becoming a reality. The sole idea was almost immediately dismissed, as Studio MDHR had previously announced that Cuphead was a lifetime Xbox One console exclusive title.
As of this writing, Studio MDHR's critically acclaimed Cuphead has been available digitally on the Nintendo Switch — with physical copies on the way — for two weeks, and it has already become the best-selling title of April on the Nintendo Switch eShop in Europe.
Nintendo has recently revealed a list with the Top 15 best-selling games on the Nintendo Switch eShop, with Studio MDHR's Cuphead comfortably sitting in the first place, closely follwoed by Nintendo's Super Mario Odyssey and Bethesda's The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Cuphead is a classic run-and-gun action game heavily focused on boss battles. Inspired by cartoons of the 1930s, the visuals and audio are painstakingly created with the same techniques of the era, i.e. traditional hand drawn cel animation, watercolor backgrounds, and original jazz recordings.
Cuphead is currently available for the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, and macOS.
