The Xbox One hit Cuphead, drew attention for its art style. Now, on the Switch, you can rage quit on the go. If you have not played Cuphead, the best way to explain the experience is kind of like running when you really hate exercise. It’s unbearable when you’re doing it, with little moments of loving it, and at the end you’re like, I can’t wait to do that again.

Cuphead is coming to the Nintendo Switch next month, as announced in the company’s Nindies Showcase on Wednesday. The news led the Showcase, exciting fans with the pending arrival of the run-and-gun platformer. Cuphead will be available in the Switch eShop on April 18th and you can be pre-purchased it now. The game costs $19.99, just as it did on the Xbox One at launch.

“We’ll be working with StudioMDHR to implement Xbox Live features into Cuphead on the Nintendo Switch in the coming months,” wrote Xbox’s Chris Charla in a blog post on the company’s GDC announcements. “Given the early stage of our work with StudioMDHR, the Xbox Live features will appear in a post-launch update to Cuphead on Nintendo Switch.”

Despite constantly dying, the game is undeniably enjoyable. Initially, it looks unlike anything else around right now, featuring vintage ’30s animation style that makes you nostalgic for a time you were never even alive. Cuphead made waves immediately when it was launched in 2017 for Xbox One and PC as a Microsoft exclusive. Microsoft also has made it known that Cuphead will support Xbox Live, even on the Switch. This collaboration between Nintendo and Microsoft is the first of this magnitude, and it may point to some amazing things down the road.

If you haven’t played Cuphead and want to pick it up on the Switch, you have to wait for a little over a month. If you can’t wait, it’s available with DLC now on Xbox One and PC.
