Time flies when digging for treasure!
The made their own IndieWorld Showcase. With Blackjack. And Hookers.
This means somehow I’ve avoided playing more than an hour of Shovel Knight for 10 years, despite owning the game on Wii U and the whole Treasure Trove on Switch. I promise to correct that, eventually!
I’m glad to see that Shovelry is still going strong, though! Happy early Birthday, SK!!
😆 🎂 🎉
Will Mina the Hollower finally get a decent update?
...ten years?!?
A 16-Bit or 32-Bit style Shovel Knight game would be excellent. Please let it happened. This mascot can't stay in 8-Bit style forever.
Give us endless dungeons in pocket dungeon, and a Mina release date.
I love shovel knight!! So much fun. I would love a Mina release date and confirmation is coming to switch announced then. Or another Shovel knight co op game like sonic and tails. That would be sweet.
Shield Knight: Frisbee of Protection!
@Serpenterror Dig is better than I anticipated. Roguelite and procedural, etc, but still great.
Nice. I hope they have a super sale again on the golden collection or whatever it’s called.
I love Shovel Knight to bits, but at this point we just want Mina the Hollower!
Shovel Knight 64 surprise announcement? Look, I’m just saying… I’d play it.
Wow, has it really been 10 years? Amazing how in that span of time there's only been a couple new entries in the Shovel Knight line. I can truly say that Yacht Club has built this franchise with less that some companies do with more in the same period of time.
10 years.
1 mainline Shovel Knight game.
I still have memories of backing the game's Kickstarter. It's one of the few kickstarter successes I have backed.
So, congrats Yacht Club games!
For some strange reason, I’ve never played any Shovel Knight game, despite it appearing to be right up my street….probably a stupid question, but Do I start with the first one?
Where's Mina y'all?!
Cannot wait for that little Mouse.
I gladly Kickstarted it after missing out on Shovel Knight and being blasted away by that pearl of a game!
@Picola-Wicola
You don't have to, but why shouldn't you?
It sets the stage for the others that follow and has its own physics and the plot starts right there.
Also the most balanced in terms of jump and logic in the platforming, if that makes any sense.
Man they should make shovel knight 2 with snes graphics ages ago lol, I hope at least we got trailer of the next shovel knight games 😃
@Picola-Wicola Play shovel knight treasure trove, you should play play the first game and at least its dlc specter of torment. The game sometimes discounted to $20 (full price is $40) on switch, you should wishlisted it on eshop so nintendo will send email if the game is discounted.
If you like platformer like nes mario bros 3, you probably will like this one too 😃
Forgot I had Shovel Knight Treasure Trove on my switch, but have never played it as I played it to death on my 3DS quite a few years previously
Hopefully we'll get a separate release of Plague Of Shadows now lol
I love the games and even backed their boardgame but still yet to play it!!
Looking forward to any surprises thry might have.
Looking forward to this presentation even though I unfortunately haven't played Shovel Knight myself yet (have watched others playing some of it at least)!
Gonna have to get myself more of them games. I loved Shovel Knight, but never finished it, for some reason. I really need to get back into it. Although I am looking forward to their Zelda-like!
Shovel Knight II: Link to the Past meets Actraiser. SNES style with Mode 7, transparencies, and a dash of Super FX chip. Mostly top-down with occasional side-on platforming sections.
Shovel Spirits: Saturn / PS1 era Cave-style shooter. Horizontal, so you can dig to find alternate routes, with gratuitous amounts of "fan service" and a Cyber Shadow cameo.
What a coinydink, i started playing this again a couple days ago.
@Picola-Wicola The first one is a great choice. Charming and just the right amount of challenging.
Shovel knight is one of the best indie games series period. I can’t say I enjoyed the spinoffs as much as the mainline, but by far one of my fav indies.
@ZombAid82 That makes absolute sense about the platforming, thank you
@wiiware Cool, wishlisted. And you mentioning SMB3, my favourite 2D platform game of all time, makes me even more interested!
@Tempestryke Nice one, thank you, added it to the wishlist
Ya think Hovel Knights old enough to be an actual retro game now? or do we still have another generation before that?
@Picola-Wicola No problem. Have fun.
