Topic: Shovel Knight

Has anyone experienced a glitch regarding the Tinker Knight level? You know how it's a two part battle. Every time I defeat the first the battle, Shovel Knight then goes into his victory stance, I cannot move him and Tinker Knight just starts shooting in his giant machine, and just loops continuously. I have to restart the level every time and it's getting very annoying.

@MoonKnight7 That's a known issue and they're working on it.

Is that just the Wii U version or both?

I don't know which version, I just know they said they're working on fixing it in the last Kickstarter update.

@CanisWolfred

I can't speak for both, but it has happened on my 3DS version.

@Spoony_Tech

Cool, thanks for the update, I'm glad to hear it's already being worked on.

You thanked the wrong guy but I'm sure he got the idea of it.

@Spoony_Tech

You are quite right, I shall correct this right now. Sometimes I get lost in these topic forums.

@MoonKnight7 I have the Wii U version, and I never experienced this problem.

@MoonKnight7 I heard this glitch only occurs if you perform a Shovel Drop on Tinker Knight at the end of the first phase. If you avoid doing that you should be fine.

This game reconfirms that Mario 3 had the best overworld. The only reason I'd say it has a better map than this is because it had more worlds and thus more interesting things going on (unless this changes super late into the game). But the fact that this is anything like Mario 3's map deserves praise (even though being like Mario 3 was blatantly the point).

Downloaded this yesterday for my 3DS. What an absolute gem. It's way too short, though. I'm almost done with it...

I'm just going to say it: Shovel Knight for next Smash!

According to the latest weekly download chart (presumably for the US, since it's not on the european eShop yet). Pretty impressive downloads for Shovel Knight, since the top 4 has always been MK8 free downloads for many weeks now.

@MrGameluvr

Thanks for the advice, I'll give that a try the next time I play it.

This and Child of Light's support (it's already in the lifetime top 20 for non-VC games) are the most desperately needed things that needed to happen on Wii U.

Shovel Knight might be my favorite 2014 game so far tbh. In love with the platforming style. You can feel both the retro and modern elements and the controls are perfect. Hope it sells well because it deserves to. I mean.. it has a "Butt Mode"...

Beat it. It really is a brilliantly made game and my prediction about it was entirely correct. So let me state, for the record: This is the best game from 1990. The fact that it came out in 2014 shouldn't be held against it.

And now Shovel Knight is ALREADY on that top 20 list as well. It's also the best selling title of the past week, barring the unstoppable juggernaut of Wind Waker HD.

I bought, played the first level, and love it. Just have to finish the unstopplable juggernaut that is Wind Waker HD first then I can get back to it.

I have been playing this on a friend's XL. It's indeed pretty fun! Loved the song on the Plague Knight level.

But I'll still wait for the future features before buying it

Meh, the later features just means I have an excuse to replay it.

I actually just decided to replay it on New Game Plus. That might not be ideal with all the other games I need to play that I already own (even ignoring the two I'm saving until next year).
