Whoa, Nidhogg Is Actually Coming Out

Yup, he's great. Read the description on the video, he's just amazing...

@guillerbro: windjammers is this year (and all years) windjammers. Until the time when they make a new windjammers and that will be the windjammers... windjammers

DAEDELUS MAKING GAME MUSIC ZOMGGGGG. He's a magnificent musician and live performer!

I miss the music from the first (?) Nidhogg trailer so much. Here's some of it over a different video of the game. I've had a hard time finding the early trailer.

This should've been on every system. pre-downloaded. Like the Vib series should have been preloaded onto every playstation system.

"The one-on-one swordfighting game has been in development for what seems like forever."

Incorrect. SpyParty has been in development for what seems like forever. Scratch that, it actually just has been forever.

I know Chris Hecker does other shit or whatever, but it's been in development since 2009. Seriously, how has that game possibly taken that long to make? It's like, a single fucking room with 20 character models walking around and fake talking to each other.

get that andy dick?

Looks like a souped up version of a game I used to play on the Apple IIE as a kid....."Swashbuckler" maybe?...Jaysus, I'm old.

This looks awesome but I just bought like 15 games in the steam sale. Talk about bad timing.

This game looks really fun

Played this like 3 years ago, it was too much fun.

Why does that not look like this...

That's Niddhoggr, not Nidhogg.

Fucking casuals...

Why does it look like the raddest Commodore 64 game ever made, you mean?

I'm happy Daedelus is getting more exposure. Hugely talented musician.

Winner has to clean up the pastel color blood mess.

I wonder how it controls, looks like there are quite a few moves - will it be fighting game style , but fireball = cartwheel?

I heard about this on Idle Thumbs forever ago and have been waiting for it to get an official release. This game looks awesome.

This looks, uh, KINETIC, or even...LIVELY.

@slackermonkey: Actually, now that you mention it, the worm at the end does look somewhat like that...

Why does that not look like this...

Its retro! You un-hipster bastard!

Well I guess I've found the first game I will but in 2014

Any idea if this is local MP only, or will it support play over the internets?

I guess that's neat, but why does it look like shit?

I look at games like Nidhogg and Samurai Gunn like we've peered into an alternate universe where there were downloadable games for the SNES & Genesis.

You guys dont listen to 8-4! Boooooooooo...

GET THAT DICK! GET THAT DICK!

Holy Crap! I'm surprised Daedelus is doing the soundtrack for this, game looks fun in that Samurai Gunn kind of way.

I don't get it.

FINALLY!!

That and scat porn

FINALLY!!

I was thinking the same thing.

This looks really cool, but like every other local multiplayer cool looking crazy fest, I won't be able to play it, or at least that aspect of it that makes it so great. I'm not saying they should all add online play, cause half the time that wouldn't be fun in the same way anyway, but I haven't been able to personally have that kind of experience since my college age years and smash brothers melee.

Guys, this game has been around forever. Glad Mark finally is putting it out for people to play. Its really great. Man, Local multiplayer renaissance. Sports friends, Samurai gunn, 0 Space, tower fall, Foiled and of course Nidhogg. So excited.

Woah this game looks pretty sweet!

Yeah I was about to say earlier, why not just be a snake instead of carrying a sword around? But then I got to the end and was vindicated in my belief.

get that dick

this is clearly a fighting game. i wanna see the fgc pick it up a little but they can sometimes be weirded out by things that don't have lifebars/dont have ryu/dont have magneto in it. hopefully it will show up at events though, it would work great at UFGT and keits ought to appreciate its concept a bit.

this years windjammers?
