One of Microsoft’s biggest problems right now is a lack of exclusives, especially this year. Console exclusives are getting more and more rare, but when they come, they’ve been coming to the PS4, and that’s a long-term problem for a company launching the XboxX in two months. Gamers who don’t have 4K are going to need convincing reasons to lay down the $500 Microsoft is asking for the powerful new console. Cuphead isn’t going do that, but it is a Microsoft exclusive, well-reviewed, and there are-to my knowledge-no other games that look like 1940s WB cartoons featuring tea cups with run and gun action. Cuphead is available now for Microsoft PC and the Xbox One. Achievements below courtesy as always from the peerless xboxachievements.com.

Forgive me, I’m not a gamer, I just have to chime in and say that this looks like the coolest game in the history of creation.

I actually thought the game’s art design was something right up your alley.

I went on youtube and saw a walkthrough video. It IS the coolest video game in the history of creation, but the last time I played a video game, you could count the number of existing Mario games on one hand, and I cannot possibly imagine playing a game as tough as this one looks.
Actually, I can… I once spent some time with a guy who was unhealthily obsessed with gaming, and he was participating in a trial of some online game, and when at one point I was able to wrest the controls from his clawlike hands, I tried it out. I’m sure I would have been able to get the hang of it with practice, but I gained an appreciation for just how skilled you have to be to master these things. I also learned that these games could be like heroin, because that guy was NOT okay.
