5.0 out of 5 stars Extreamly Impressed
Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2015
Platform For Display: Nintendo Wii UVerified Purchase
I ordered Shovel Knight largley based on price. I knew it had very good reviews, but it did not intrest me untill the physical release. But dear lord, i'm glad I picked this up. First if all each retail copy of the game comes with an extensive 40 page manual, which is nice to see after most games now come with a piece of a paper at most. Also included is a free download of the games phenominal soundtrack from band camp, which helps justify the $10 extra over the digital release.

But the game itself is very well done. Excellent graphics, music, characters, level design. This game is a treat after coming off of chibi robo: zip lash personally. One thing that suprised me was how forgiving it is. I've never been able to beat many old school sidescrollers myself, but in Shovel Knight, there are no lives, if you die you head back to your previous checkpoint, dropping money with a chance to earn it back, with no limit on how much you can fail. But its still very challanging. Granted though there are items in the game, available extreamly early, that'll make it much easier and are kind of exploitable.

The game is short overall, beat the 8 knights levels, have a couple lose lvls, done. But there are different modes and campaigns already available or will be available by it's developers in a future update. I can't speak of the quality of the Plague of Shadows campaign, as I've only just unlocked it, but I've heard very good things about it.

In conclusion, Shovel Knight is a very well done game, available at a modest price, with a couple extra goodies. If your looking for a cheap game and have not played this, it is definitley worth checking out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Challenging, but in the good way
Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2016
Platform For Display: Nintendo Wii UVerified Purchase
The whole idea of a knight who wields a shovel for a weapon is a very silly concept, but this game somehow made it badass. The music and graphics are really convincing in replicating the 8-bit/16-bit era.

Like the "old school" games Shovel Knight took inspiration from, this game is pretty challenging. The controls are responsive and tight. Whenever I die, I feel like it was my fault, and not the game's.

I bought the physical version, because I always buy physical if I can. I like to have the option to resell a game if I don't like it, but I don't see myself reselling this game anytime soon.

The instruction manual is very nice (I wish more games still had them), and the music voucher is just an added bonus. This product is a very good bargain.

5.0 out of 5 stars lots of fun
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2016

One of the best games I have played in a long time. It reminds me of the old 8 bit games like ducktales and super mario bros 3, but with much more customization. You can add health or magic or upgrade armor while trying to find relics (different weapons) in game to use. I love the secret areas that are built in and the collectible music scores you can try to find that actually will give you access to the music in game. Price is good too. You can get both verstions (3ds and wii u) for the price of a normal game. Even though I beat this game rather quickly, it was a great value and provided me lots of fun. Looking forward to playing co-op on the wii u version with my amiibo.

4.0 out of 5 stars This feels like the best NES game ever, although this wouldn't run on an NES
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2016
Platform For Display: Nintendo Wii UVerified Purchase
I know there are cheaper versions of this but yacht club deserves every penny for the product they put together here. My only gripe is I feel they threw some mechanisms to please the old school crowd that I feel undermine some of the decisions they made to keep the game modern. These decisions stem around the currency system in the game (no not real money currency you get the whole game it ain't piece meal mobile trash). Money feels like a high score mechanism that easily be grinded. The game gives you check points in stages but encourages you to break them so you can get more money. You lose a portion of your money when you die that you can get back if you make to the same spot (a la Demon's Souls (Yes that's the first one if not the most popular one (Oooo triple parentheses))). However this is percentage and you can start banking so much that you'll start the entire level over (as this resets all values to pre-attempt) if you die before grabbing your lost gold and sometimes you can't even grab it because of where you died.

Sorry to rant and sorry to be nit picky on a four star review but the stuff I just mentioned might be a nightmare to perfectionist gamers. I guess I'm kinda of one myself, so if that didn't scare you too much give it a go.

Bonus it comes with a fantastic old school physical instruction booklet, remember when games came with those. No. Kids.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the price
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2015
Platform For Display: Nintendo Wii UVerified Purchase
Shovel Knight for the Wii U is amazing. It combines all my favorite elements of 8-bit titles and takes advantage of the power of modern consoles to create challenging yet rewarding levels.

Although the game has been available digitally for a year now, I opted for the physical copy for my collection of video games. I was not disappointed and the extra 10 dollars spent vs digital was well spent. The game comes with a 43 page full color instruction manual that is sadly a thing of the past with new games.

I bought the Wii U version because I can play it on the gamepad while the wife watches TV. It also scales well on HDTVs and uses the Wii U gamepad as an item select screen for easy swapping of items without pausing the game.

I look forward to the Amiibo when it comes out. Shovel Knight is one of my favorite games of the year.

Shovel Knight no es solo un juego con una estetica retro de 8 bits, Shovel Knight entiende que fue lo que hizo que los juegos de antaño fueran tan populares y lo incorpora en todo aspecto: musica, presentacion, jugabilidad, historia.

Con una rejugabilidad enorme gracias a los "feats" que da el juego ademas de campañas DLC gratuitas como donde puedes jugar con Plague Knight con habilidades totalmente distintas y niveles modificados este juego tiene mucho que ofrecer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dig into this excellent title! You will not regret scooping it up!
Reviewed in Canada on December 5, 2015
Platform For Display: Nintendo Wii UVerified Purchase
Due to the limitations of the Wii U, I picked up in early 2013 (8gb model) I had to be very picky with what I downloaded and while now that I have that issue resolved I did miss the initial hype around this game do to it. I picked up this title's physically release knowing it was good and that it was a call back to the 2D platformers found on the NES, but even then I was surprised at how good this game was. From the mixture of Megaman, Castlevania (the classic titles not the Metroidvania titles) and even Duck Tales, tt strikes a balance from that callback mixture with a dash of its own creative flair. Never does this game feel unfair. The game telegraphs new obstacles well and very rarely do you end up frustrated as each death feels more like that of the player's fault than the game tossing an unexpected curveball. Overall the gameplay is excellent and really does shine. The visual style is also very nice as while it stays true to the 8-bit style it is trying to invoke it also does some neat tricks that would have not been possible on the NES and it does not feel like a betrayal to that style when it does do those nifty visual tricks. Also did I mention the soundtrack was great? Yeah, the soundtrack is great and came free with the physical copy of the game! Wooh!

Overall this game is well worth your time as while it may take no longer than 4-5 hours to clear the single player campaign the replay value and fun game mechanics will keep you enticed long after you shoveled your way through the final level. Dig out your wallet and give it a try!
