Round Up: Yacht Club Games Presents - Every Shovel Knight Switch Announcement And Much More

Mina the Hollower looks so damn good, but man it sure would have been nice to at least get an expected year for it's release.

@steruphan I get where you’re coming from, but there are new gamers and, crucially, consoles coming along all the time. Someone with a new PlayBox or XStation is unlikely to go looking to buy a ten-year-old game.

Like you, I probably won’t get it. Treasure Trove was already almost more content than I needed!

That definitive edition looks great! I’m glad I held off from rebuying the treasure trove or standalone edition on switch.

I wish they’d finally get around to selling the plague knight campaign as a standalone title though.

Can you have too much Shovel Knight?

@steruphan Nobody is forcing you to buy it.

Was waiting on a release date for Mina, so a bit underwhelming that its still got a vague "coming soon" attached to it. A new presumably 3D Shovel Knight game is awesome... but not even a proper tease of it, so nothing to really be excited about with that. The rest of the announcements weren't really interesting to me either, sadly.

@steruphan I got this on Wii U about a decade ago and didn't bother double-dipping as (1) the Wii U version seemed to get all the upgrades, (2) this isn't a game that will benefit from more powerful hardware as it's purposefully retro, and (3) appreciate I'm in the minority, but I didn't think it lived up to the hype it got when it first came out.

I may take this opportunity to finally upgrade and give it another go though, not least because my gamepad is on its last legs.

Man I still haven’t played shovel knight lol. Might as well now that DX is a thing.

Love the game but it's very annoying that the base Shovel Knight has so many different versions, from Shovel of Hope and the three DLCs on the eshop, to the complete Treasure Trove edition which many own physically. Now a new version comes out and makes the current ones redundant. I won't be getting it unless it comes as a free update or heavily discounted for existing owners.

I'm so awful at Pocket Dungeon. I keep trying to make it click because it's gorgeous and has a great sense of humor, etc, but it hasn't yet.

if shovel knight was a cow he'd have sore udders

Meh, Shovel Knight is still great and all but I won't get Shovel of Hope DX since I had more then enough fill of SK1 and SK in general for now. And the newly announced (3D-hinted) Shovel Knight mainline title is atleast a few years wait before we get to see it in action.
I'm more excited for Mina the Hollower.

@sanderev They're just voicing their opinion and it's one I agree with.

Shovel knight dx is an update for treasure trove?

@LXP8 I'm also voicing my opinion.

@steruphan from what they said they're basically just future-proofing the title it contains everything from every version of it including certain things that were exclusive to different versions like the 3DS version etc

I MIGHT double-dip with the DX version if they release a physical cartridge... and my finances allow it.

I guess I'm confused about the stereoscopic 3D (as mentioned at the 1:30 mark of the Hope DX trailer); How is that going to be accessed other than busting out the ol' 3DS?

@sanderev Yes, but it's already pretty obvious from what they wrote that they won't want to buy the new game. Your comment just came across as unecessary and gave the impression you didn't want to hear their opinion just because it's negative, when you should expect a range of opinions in a comments section.

@steruphan because the game is 10 years old doesn't sound like a worthwhile thing to do plus based on what it seems like they had to do a lot of reprogramming from the ground up for coding though they probably did have some free done code that they just copy and pasted for some of it

I liked pretty much everything in the presentation except Shovel of Hope DX. The DLCs look neat, Mina looks excellent, the marketing stuff is...whatever, everyone using their Nintendo Direct voices was funny. But Shovel of Hope DX should be sold as a discounted DLC for the base game on platforms you can already buy the base game on (and to be fair, they haven't said this won't be the case). When I watched it I couldn't help thinking that it looks pretty much the same as it did when I bought it eight years ago on my 3DS, new playable characters aside.

Edit: forgot to mention the game jam they announced too. I'm not a dev, but I've always been interested, and this could be a good excuse to try it out.

@GrizzledVeteran might be used to just jiggle the screen a bit to see it from different angles, or it might be compatible with VR visors.

Aww, I was hoping for a physical release of Cyber Shadow, or some extra content, or something.. that game rules!!

I'm glad a new mainline shovel knight is being made, but at least I want the release date for mina the hollower, I actually think we'll get the release date at the end of mina update video..

@SpeedRunRocks True, cyber shadow rules, the music and gameplay is top notch, it's one of my favs 2D indie games

No new amiibo?
