Great music can make an amazing game even better and the incredible soundtrack that Cuphead has to offer is just one of the many reasons why fans fell in love with the deceptively brutal game. Now that the boss-centric title is available on Nintendo Switch, there are even more players finding out exactly what Cuphead has in store and now they can take the sounds of the game with them out into the real world with an amazing new vinyl set!
The stunning 2XLP vinyl set comes courtesy of iam8bit and features the amazing soundtrack that fans first fell in love with when the game first launched. The above vinyl is available now for pre-order for a special “early bird” price of 30 bucks from now until the first of May. After May 1st, the price goes back up to retain at $40.
According to iam8bit, “The Inkwell Isles of Studio MDHR’s Cuphead are a hand-drawn, hand-painted wonderscape where streaming services and digital dohickeys are nowhere to be seen. There, the hop-skipping soundtrack to everyday life rotates at 33rpm, amplified by a copper-horned phonograph. It’s a masterclass in authentic jazz music from Kristofer Maddigan, who seems like he must have traveled forward in time from the 1930s to bring this zippy, riotous big band bounty to life. This is, quite simply, the “Best Of” Cuphead, lovingly curated onto a 2xLP, and featuring exclusive new solos never-before-available on vinyl!”
Need even more Cuphead? There’s also a beautiful limited edition woodblock print available as well:
“What’s makes a traditional ‘Mokuhanga’ Woodblock print special? Glad you asked, because it’s a far more complicated process than popular screenprinting or giclee techniques. Dating back many centuries, ‘Mokuhanga’ woodblock printing adheres to an ancient methodology that involves meticulously carving detailed artwork into wood, with each color layer being a completely separate piece. This is a very special and rare opportunity to add a unique Cuphead masterwork to your collection. This special print is lovingly hand-crafted by woodblock craftsman Stephen Winiecki.”
- 5-color Traditional Mokuhanga ‘Woodblock’ print

You can get your pre-order on right here to snag one of the above collectible items now! As for the game itself, Cuphead is now available Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
