    For the 8-Bit Enthusiast

    What can be said about Shovel Knight that hasn't been said before? This game is pure gold. It brings back 8-Bit nostalgia with a great soundtrack and great visuals and gameplay. I own this game for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. What I also love is that it comes with a full manual which is pretty rare these days with video games. All in all, pick this game up and you will have a blast. I definitely recommend this game to both the old school gamers as well as the new.

    Honestly when i was recommended this game by some buddies. I was really hesitant to buy it. It reminded me of megaman a bit, I never owned a NES but played my friends and the megaman games were really hard. This game is really easy to pick up and play from beginners to hardcore retro fans. Its one of my favorite games on the 3ds, and the price is so cheap you would be crazy not to pick it up.

    One of the best games ever made. Eay solid five stars. Very well crafted, good challenge, great characters, and it certainly feels just like you are playing this on an old nes. Must buy especially for the free soundtrack download.

    This is a great throwback style game, the graphics and music is a throwback to old style games from the NES 8-bit era, if you like megaman, contra, ghost and goblins style this is the game for you,
