Wow, this game is actually pretty good. I was expecting an over hype... also, some reviewer complained about bad controls. They were wrong.
whichever reviewer complained about the controls clearly doesn't know what he/she is talking about
Unless he was playing on PC, on which there is a lock-up sometimes or input lag.
Beat the game, took me 8:15 hrs with most things done (6 missing musical sheets) and it was awesome. Although there could be more boss battles like Thinker Knight, it was awesome.
I was just thinking how I love those two games. Shovel Knight actually reminded me how much I love Retro City Rampage.. the simple graphics, the complete perfection and fun to go along. I would actually get Retro City Rampage first...
The mapping of the controls is really nice. I mapped the relics button to ZR, dig that.
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 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).
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. http://nintendoeverything.com/wii-u-eshop-charts-7214/
