Brace Yourself Games

No one could have originally anticipated the final announcement for the latest Nindies Showcase earlier this year. Brace Yourself Games, in collaboration with Nintendo, revealed Cadence of Hyrule – a new game for Switch that takes a page out of Crypt of the NecroDancer.

At BitSummit a few days ago, Japanese website 4Gamer caught up with a few people involved with the game. Lead designer Oliver Trujillo and Brace Yourself CEO Ryan Clark along with Spike Chunsoft’s Riku Nikaido spoke about how the game came to be, one of Nintendo’s requests, and more such as how the team looked at Smash Bros. for Zelda’s moves.

Here’s our full translation:

During the latest Nindies Showcase earlier in the year, Cadence of Hyrule – Crypt of the NecroDancer Featuring the Legend of Zelda was announced for Switch. At the time, Nintendo said that the game would be launching this spring.

A slight update on the game has finally been provided, as we now know for certain that the game will arrive in June. That does make sense given how spring ends during the month. A release during E3 sounds like a realistic possibility as well.

Cadence of Hyrule – Crypt of the NecroDancer Featuring The Legend of Zelda was one of the surprise announcements of the last Nintendo Direct. We now have some more details on the Japanese release of the game. Interestingly, Spike Chunsoft will publish the game in Japan, not Nintendo. The publisher opened up the game’s Japanese website today, which sadly doesn’t contain any new info. Spike Chunsoft also published the Japanese trailer for the game today, which is pretty much exactly the same as the game’s initial reveal trailer, except for the Japanese voice-over. 

Cadence of Hyrule will be released this Spring.

Cadence of Hyrule is an unexpected crossover between The Legend of Zelda and Crypt of the NecroDancer. But how did that collaboration between Nintendo and Brace Yourself Games happen anyway?

We do at least know some of the backstory. Brace Yourself approached Nintendo about having Zelda characters in something such as Crypt of the NecroDancer DLC. After the two talked, it eventually ended up as a brand new game.

Cadence of Hyrule, a new game coming from the developer of Crypt of the NecroDancer, was announced today to close out the latest Nindies Showcase. A release is planned for this spring.

Here are the first details and debut trailer:

A few minutes of footage is in showing off Crypt of the Necrodancer: Nintendo Switch Edition. Get a look at the gameplay below.

Crypt of the NecroDancer: Nintendo Switch Edition made it to the Japanese Switch eShop earlier today. The North American release isn’t far behind, as it’s now confirmed for February 1 – tomorrow in other words. Europe will be getting the game just a bit later on February 8.

Today’s news comes from the official Twitter account:

Crypt of the NecroDancer: Nintendo Switch Edition launches in Japan next Thursday. Ahead of the release, Spike Chunsoft has revealed some new information about the game.

Reaper is a playable character who makes its first appearance in the Switch version of Crypt of the NecroDancer. Defeated enemies will turn into souls and float around Reaper, and they can also attack enemies. Souls will disappear if they take damage. The more enemies you defeat, the more souls you’ll have. In addition to giving a powerful attack method, they can also become a thick shield that protects the player.

Reaper does not have any unlock requirements; you can use it right after purchasing the game.

Crypt of the NecroDancer: Nintendo Switch Edition will arrive on the Japanese Switch eShop on February 1, Spike Chunsoft has announced. Pricing is set at 2,160 yen.

Crypt of the NecroDancer is a roguelike dungeon exploration game with rhythm elements. On Switch, the DLC prequel “Amplified” will be included. Additionally, local multiplayer using the Joy-Con. Different skins will be available as well, including ones from the Danganronpa, Shiren the Wanderer, and Kenka Bancho franchises.

We have a few screenshots from Crypt of the NecroDancer: Nintendo Switch Edition below.

Crypt of the NecroDancer: Nintendo Switch Edition hasn’t been dated for North America or Europe as of yet. However, the western release is likely not too far off.
