E3: E3 2019: Nintendo's Cadence of Hyrule Releases On Switch Very, Very Soon
For E3 2019, Nintendo is once again streaming a prerecorded Direct as opposed to a pre-show press conference like most major developers and publishers. Nintendo has already made a pretty big splash with a new trailer and release date announcement for its remake of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. The company continued spreading the love for Link and Zelda with a new trailer for Cadence of Hyrule, which is (surprisingly) releasing very, very soon.
The trailer showcased more of the Legend of Zelda-themed Crypt of the Necrodancer game, including gameplay. As previously established, you can play as either Link or Zelda in the music-based dungeon crawler. Move around and attack in time to the music and you'll be rewarded. Failing to do so will see you punished.
Cadence of Hyrule is coming to Switch in just a few days. The game will be released on June 13, which is right around the corner. Made by the same folks behind Crypt of the Necrodancer, Cadence of Hyrule is a rogue-like, and borrows most of its mechanics and features from Necrodancer. It will feature 25 remixed classic tracks from the Legend of Zelda series of games
In our Crypt of the Necrodancer review, Britton Peele wrote, "Regardless of your musical tastes, Crypt of the NecroDancer takes a proven but basic recipe and improves it with a seemingly simple twist. It would have been a fine roguelike game without its musical side, but the rhythm mechanic makes it a truly special experience."
