Shovel Knight - Nintendo Wii U

Great game that feels like a lost NES title (Mega Man and Ducktales come to mind). Awesome boss fights, catchy music, and sweet 8-bit graphics round out this tough (but fair) platformer. There's also a BUNCH of achievements/feats/challenges for the completionists out there. Also included in the package is an entirely separate campaign starring Plague Knight....The gameplay formula is tweaked ever so slightly to keep things interesting. *Download code for the game soundtrack is included in the physical copy. Look out for the Shovel Knight amiibo in early 2016!

Shovel knight is a very nice game, plays and feels just like a game from back in the day, also is quite challenging at some points, and a good price for a game, very fun!

This is a action solid platformer, mixing everything that was great about classic video games. Reminds me of Super Mario Brothers and Megaman from the NES days, but still feels fresh. Amazing music as well

This game has really great mechanics. This game is great at distilling what was fun in the early 8 and 16 bit era games and enhancing them while getting rid of some of the issues caused by the limited hardware at the time. I really recommend this game if you liked early 2D platforming games. I even ended up buying this twice (on 3DS digitally as well) since I wanted it portable. What really makes this great is the two player aspect you can do with the Amiibo. Yeah it's more DLC behind a plastic figure, but the developers have added enough to make it worthwhile.

I picked up Shovel Knight on the 3DS and had a lot of fun with it. when i heard the Wii U version has co-op with the amiibo... I knew i had to have it.

I've finally decided to buy Shovel Knight for the Wii U, and I've heard a lot of great things about it! I'd actually prefer physical over digital, when it comes to video games. This here is what brought nostalgia back, because it is in 8-bit graphics and the music is really good! The cutscenes are in 2-D, and overall it is a great game. You play as the knight named Shovel Knight, and you use your shovel to pound the enemies, and by beating the bosses. This is one of the hardest games you'll ever play, and it's a lot of fun!

One of the best indie games of this generation in physical form! Also because this is the Wii U version, it works with the Amiibos!

If you are a fan of old school NES games such as mega man or ducktales, pick up this gem. An absolute classic. Highly recommended.
