@DownRightSam Thanks for the feedback. I will definitely take this stuff into account in future reviews.

I'm glad you guys are able to find people online. When I played the game it wasn't populated at all. It wouldn't change the score of the game, unfortunately.

Preordered mine! Looking forward to trying it out.

Hey guys, the 3D element is minimal - if you choose to have a border, the game screen pops out a little. It's a small thing and I chose not to include it in the review.

Not to be that guy, but where can you buy the Mega Pokeballs? o.O

Mr. Baker was very friendly, his "laugh" was more a reaction to him knowing what I was about to ask before I asked it

I'd read the hell out of all of those.

I'll be there Saturday, guys! Tweet me @leemeyer26 if you're around

@kidwalrus I'm going to assume that you're making a joke.

@maceng As wonderful as this game is, I feel that a 10 is a genre-defining, revolutionary and unique game that hits literally every right note. Believe me, the 9 is not a slight against the game; I gave Shovel Knight a 9, as well, and that's one of my favorite games of 2014.

There are bouncy melons in this game? I must have missed that. Do they deal a lot of damage? I'm gay. The lack of clothing had no impact on my score.

Hey guys! Thanks for reading the review. Regarding the score: I can't speak for Phil's individual thoughts on the matter, but typically a perfect 10 is a defining, groundbreaking (no pun intended) title that changes the way we look at the genre, platform, character etc. Shovel Knight takes platform conventions and refines them beautifully. A 9 is by no means a bad score! Super Mario 3D Land got a 9!

@HugoSmits Very exciting stuff! Did Nintendo give you approval for the paid app? I'd be curious to know their stance on the dev tool.

@6ch6ris6 The VR mission is just the unlockable training mission.

@Spoony_Tech The 3D is pretty good. The cutscenes aren't in 3D, but that's no loss, really.

@zool I did in fact play the game to the end.

@ULTRA-64 Sorry you felt that way. I like to focus on what is most noticeable (whether it be positive or negative); thanks for your feedback, I will keep that in mind in the future.

@MegaWatts Thanks! I could certainly go for the N64 games...

@Stix_Remix it's not a Mystery Dungeon-style game; those are turn-based and have rules about enemy movement and progression. This is more of a randomly generated Gauntlet (an old multiplayer arcade title).

Got a better subtitle?

It's a different developer and gameplay, working on it.

@WinterWarm thanks!

@Beta I meant that the title was Wada's spiritual successor to Harvest Moon, as he doesn't work directly on those games anymore. I'm sure Harvest Moon is still going strong!

@WiiWareWave I don't have that information, sorry!
