FROM THE ARTICLE
It isn’t an exaggeration to say there is no video game quite like Cuphead. Available now on the Xbox One, Cuphead trades the beeps and bloops of most retro-style games for retro piano jazz of the Prohibition era. A two-hit combo of wildly divergent things — ‘90s-era Super Nintendo, ‘30s-era Walt Disney — Cuphead manifests into something totally unique and totally fun to play. But the way the visuals of the game were created required reaching back into a style of animation which has nearly been forgotten.
