I wasn't even able to get through the tutorial, because my right Joy-Con's mouse doesn't work very well, so I couldn't go straight forward as a result... Has anyone else had issues with their Joy-Con's mouse controls?
@NintendoWife I completely agree. It's a masterpiece. I think what he's saying, though, is that he would be afraid to go back to the original after playing the remake, which is fair.
Some of the first games I remember playing are the Skylanders games. I used to play them with my cousin, and also my Dad. I have a lot of nostalgia for those games. I know I remember those games as being better than they really are, so I've been too scared to replay them and taint my fond memories of the games.
I think that 'retro' can be interpreted a lot of different ways. I think that once a lot of people have nostalgia for a game, it's close to, if not already, worthy of being called 'retro'. There's definitely a lot of nostalgia for Shovel Knight out there. Shovel Knight uses a lot of elements from retro games, and it has the 8-Bit art style. The game may be a reletively young, but I think that these things definitely make a difference. Overall, between the way the game plays, looks, and the nostalgia people hold for it, Shovel Knight can rightfully considered 'retro'.
