Shovel Knight feels like a downloadable arcade game that you would just buy from the Nintendo eShop, however it's nice to have it presented with proper packaging for collecting.

After hearing so much about this game I finally decided to pick it up for my son. He loves old school-style platforming and this game fits the bill perfectly. Definitely one of the best buy titles for the Wii U.

His game is an ode to the Megamans, Castlavania and Metroids of the 8-But era. Such a good game and I can’t recommend it enough

Seriously one of the best platformers to come out in recent years. It's just plain awesome! Great throwback to the NES days. Go get it right now.

A true modern classic that adheres to NES themes so close you could probably convince someone in the late 80s that this was the newest NES title.

Probably one of the best "old school" action games similar to Mega Man or Zelda 2. Definitely worth it at the price!
