Cuphead Co-Op Gameplay Shown Off On The Nintendo Switch

The other day, much to the surprise and delight of gamers, indie darling Cuphead was officially announced for the Nintendo Switch. The game was previously exclusive to Microsoft’s Xbox platform as far as consoles are concerned (it is also playable on PC), so safe to say that this was a very nice surprise for non-Xbox gamers who also wanted to play the game.

Now in a new video released by Nintendo, they are showing off the co-op gameplay on the Nintendo Switch, where in the Nintendo Minute video with Kit and Krysta, they also manage to interview Jake of Studio MDHR (the developer behind Cuphead) to get his thoughts on the game, the art style, the choice of music, and so on.

For those who are unfamiliar with Cuphead, the game was launched a couple of years ago after spending years in development. It feels like a very old school side-scroller kind of game, but what made the game so unique is the use of hand-drawn graphics which makes it feel like cartoons of the good old days.

Apart from looking so unique, the game has also been known to be rather challenging which should make things more interesting for gamers. The upside to the game being playable on the Nintendo Switch is that it makes co-op playable right out of the box. Cuphead for the Nintendo Switch is currently set for a release on the 18th of April, so do keep an eye out for it if you’re interested in getting your hands on the game.

Man Behind Fatal Call Of Duty ‘Swatting’ Sentenced To 20 Years In Jail

A couple of years ago, a dispute between Call of Duty players resulted in one of them “swatting” the other, which unfortunately resulted in a man being killed. The person behind the call, Tyler Barriss, has since been sentenced to 20 years in jail for making false emergency calls to authorities.

This is according to a report from Associated Press (via Polygon) where Barriss pleaded guilty in November last year on federal charges of making a false report resulting in a death, cyberstalking, conspiracy, and false threats. To make matters worse, the person who ended up dead had nothing to do with their dispute at all.

For those unfamiliar with the story, back in 2017, a man by the name of Casey Viner recruited Barriss to swat another player, Shane Gaskill, after a dispute between Viner and Gaskill. He provided Barriss with an address that he thought was where Gaskill stayed, but the problem was that it was the wrong address and it was the home of 28-year old Andrew Finch.

Police arrived at Finch’s house under the impression that he had killed one person and had two more hostages and killed Finch when they thought he was reaching for a weapon. It was later discovered that Finch was not armed and did not know any of the men involved. Viner and Gaskill have since also been charged.

We have heard of multiple swatting attempts made in the past, although this could possibly be the first death related as a result. We’ve seen how many gamers have gotten upset during gaming sessions, where there was an instance last year of a 45-year old man being arrested after threatening an 11-year old boy in a game of Fortnite.
