It looks fantastic. The main bummer for me, is that I don't have a Wii U or 3DS, & would get it on Steam, but I'd much rather wait till it is the PS3/4 or Vita.
Got the Wii U version, it's a retro game done right....now someone needs to bang out a PCE port :P
I haven't been playing my 3DS a whole bunch lately (sadly). Will definitely give this a try soon!
Wow, this looks great! I really wish the Wii U/3DS had cross-buy games like the PS3/Vita... not sure which version to get, darn it. :-k
Got it on WiiU. It's brilliant!
I must be the only person here who thinks it doesn't look all that good... but I think that of all "retro for retro's sake" games. Can't stand the sound either.

Could do with more background scrolling, but then it would stray from it's "retro" roots I guess wish 16-bit was the go-to for retro instead of 8-bit feels a bit limiting.
As for the sound, I think it's amazing, limited but full range on that limit....
Oh yeah, if it looked and sounded 16 bit, it'd still be retro. Why do so many assume that NES-era graphics and sound are the upper limit for "retro"?
Playing this last night, I was actually thinking it looked more like a Turbo or Genesis game. Sure, it's styled like an NES game, but the color palate reminds me of Dragon's Curse, or other Wonderboy games.
But the game is crazy fun. I've played for about an hour and love it.
Looks cute and fun to me. Port it to PC-FX and I'll buy it. :mrgreen:
I only played it a little. The movement is kind of slow compared to the stuff I've been playing (lol, Ninja Spirit), but it's pretty solid.
I'm glad it was finished. It's about time all these Kickstarter games finally come out.
Is there going to be a version of the game in other consoles?
I can see why they would go for that color palette, makes it easier and quicker to turn around and calls the NES nostalgia button.
maybe on le 3DS. is there a JPN DL?
Quote from: Tatsujin on 06/28/2014, 01:06 AMmaybe on le 3DS. is there a JPN DL?
It's available on 3DS as well and pc through steam it's not just the wii u.No idea if it's u.s only and if it has a JPN release.
Watching this got me interested until I noticed that it's like Nintendo only or something?

Man, that ProJared dude would do so much better at videos if he'd stop trying to push that whole "pro" / "expert" thing, lol.
I beat the game last night. I really enjoyed it. def plays like a mega man style game. I liked the fact that there are some minor rpg elements, but doesn't overwhelm you. To many of these new "retro" style games, are retro only in looks, but offer so many options it can be a bit overwhelming to someone who comes in thinking it will be a pick up and play type of game.
For example, Mercenary kings, on PSN. retro style game, plays like metal slub and metriodvania, But then it gives you tons and tons of customization options, and skill trees and such. I cant just pick it up and play it. I gotta spend 30 minutes doing all this option shit first. I don't want that in my retro games. Shovel knight has some minor RPG elements, but they are very small, and dont get in the way of the gameplay

I was skeptical of those "RPG" elements at first with the town stuff. I didn't like it too much at first but it's alright. I definitely don't hate it. It's pretty simple and i like that.
I was playing some more of the game today and i have fun with it. I'm not very good so i die a lot. But i still have my fun

I will watch this dumbass just to see what you are talking about. Srsly.
Picked this up on Wii U a couple of days ago. It's great fun so far, and the soundtrack is excellent.
I kind of hate that they incorporated achievements (or "feats") into it though... now I feel compelled to complete them all. Stupid OCD. ](*,)

He's one of those tryhards that's like putting on this goony condescending/snarky tone and trying to be an expert with his mouth diarrhea, but usually falls short on the information.
Though, I do give him a high five for doing a Super Hydlide video that was good.
Everything else is like ohgod, please shut up.
If he didn't insist on posing in those goony Walmart polo shirts with that forced serious look on his face, it might be better.

I just linked his review as a example but he's sure not a pro.
I'm having a blast with this game. Very solid title in my humble opinion. Also I personally love the music.

Are they going to put this on the PS3, PS4, Xbone and the Vita?

Trolling you, come now, would I do something like that to such an adorable face?

I just completed the game recently on normal and i have unlocked new game+.Such a wonderful game to with elements ranging from castlevania to mega man.Man i wished it would get a physical release instead of being digital only.
I'm going to pick it up eventually but would also rather having a physical copy. Game looks amazing though.

Shovel Knight Review by ProJared - 10/10 (https://youtu.be/XTHvN9v55qA#)
Ah, so Zelda II was the other borrowed aspect... Yeah, it's been so long since I played that, but watching his video where he pointed that out about the hard double jump on an enemy reminded me! I really do gotta show my support for this thing soon via Steam! Does sound/look fantastic.
Necro-bump.
Just bought this game today on the Wii U for $20. Like many here, I don't care for digital copies. So, I got the physical disc new. I think the last game I bought brand new was Soul Calibur III for PS2. Anyway, I'm loving the game. It just feels so well-made.
Also, what happened to GreatBlueSwirl? I miss him. Well, maybe not him, but his comments were always good for a laugh.
I think he's got his mouth full of doing great blue Swirly-go-rounds TM.
Bad joke, bad. At least it keeps the women happy.
Since there wasn't a physical version of this for Vita, I picked up the PS4 version....even though I don't have a PS4. :P

Played it's co-op mode ? I've heard the shovel knight amiibo will unlock it.
I got this for Wii U as well and picked up an Amiibro. It's definitely fun, I just wish I had more time to soak into it.
Since they don't think it's worth the effort, I'd love to see Limited Run Games pick up Shovel Knight for a Vita run.
I bought this last year on a humble bundle. It's definitely top shelf gaming.

I haven't bought any amiibo's yet, but I am considering buying this one for the extra content. I also read that the box for it is shaped in such a way as to allow scanning through the package.
Everyone says how it feels like an NES games. That seems unfair as there are so many terrible and unfair NES games in its library. I'd say it's more like an old Capcom game. Controls are tight and difficulty is average. There's even a boss at the end of each level.

From the LRG forums:
LimitedRunJosh: "Hoping some more announcements come down the line soon. We have three games in QA with Sony right now and over 25 releases slated."
Hopefully that's one of them.

That would be awesome, I picked up Saturday Morning RPG(Vita) from them, though was only able to nab the regular edition. I was thinking of getting one with the soundtrack since it was done by Vince DiCola ala Transformers the Movie!
Sounds like they are doing Cosmic Star Heroine, I've been waiting for that one. Influenced by Phantasy Star, Chrono Trigger, & Suikoden(my personal fav).

It wasn't really a special limited package, the soundtrack was just another item that went in your package, it's sealed but still separate from the actual game.

I know, was just stating that I wish I would've opted for the bundle. Oops.
I finished the main game last week and must say that I loved the game. I was pleasantly surprised by how fun it was. It was like playing an old school 8-bit game from Japan. I hope a sequel or something similar is in the works.
I have this on PS4 and Vita. Although it is great on both. I love it on my Vita. I think they are working on another one. However I would be interested in seeing whatever they do next.
