Just bought it on Wii U along with Rayman Legends. This has been a good last month for my Wii U. May still get it on 3DS depending.

I'm not sure I buy the argument that the relics were a bad decision since they trivialize portions of the game; as others have said you can self-tune around them if you want. Additionally, It doesn't feel too dissimilar to me from using Rush Jet to skip large portions of Megaman 3. Personally I loved the game and felt that MM3 is probably the best comparison to the experience I got from this.

re: relics. It is unfortunate the game isn't balanced around them. Yes I can choose not to use them (just did a run where I got no upgrades what-so-ever; pretty fun since you have to actually learn the boss patterns to not die and a number of the platforming bits are actually difficult without relic "x" to cheese them) but that's dumb because they're fun to use. It'd be nice if the game was balanced around relics, so you could use them effectively without trivializing the game.

I hope they make more levels like the extra treasure ones where you have to use a relic to pass.

Alfalfa The Roach posted:If you abuse pogo bounce on Propeller Knight for too long, he'll eventually blow you upwards and try to stab you as you come down. He follows you around as he does it too, but you can usually avoid it by going in one specific direction and not letting up. There's also Baz Knight, who is just immune to pogo attacks whenever his whip is up. I can't wait until this game shows up at AGDQ/SGDQ. The speedruns are going to be incredible.

My first game had 95 deaths and was completed in 4:30:00. Its that about average or am I bad at knights and shovels?

Genocyber posted:Shovel Knight already looks more like an SNES game than an NES one, despite the 8-bit aesthetics. Eh, strongly disagree. They specifically limited themselves to the NES color palette (only straying... twice?) and used very low resolution sprites with only a few colors per sprite, and even throw in some small touches like having black backgrounds during big miniboss fights just like NES Mega man and other games had to for technical limitations. Plus games like Metal Storm and Batman managed to do parallax on NES, as crazy as that poo poo was. No, it wasn't quite as good as Shovel Knight's, but so? I think its WAY closer to an NES game than an SNES game, where you'd expect more colors, higher resolution, smoother animations and more by default. The Gorp posted:My first game had 95 deaths and was completed in 4:30:00. For a gamer who has played mega man that's pretty average. For a random gamer period that's slightly above average.

Psssh. I'm sure I'm above 50 deaths and I haven't even reached Specter Knight yet. I gave up on Super Meatboy ~forever~ in the final salt factory level. I should just stick to Paradox games.

Eh, a while ago, Yacht held a survey for what people want to see them do next, and "Super Shovel Knight" was a suggestion they gave. On top of "Super Shovel Kart" and "Shovel Knight 64."

As a true gamer, anything above 5 deaths is literal scum. Hand in your game pins LOSERS.

Genocyber posted:Shovel Knight already looks more like an SNES game than an NES one, despite the 8-bit aesthetics. Eh I disagree as well. Of course it blows early NES games like SMB out of the water, but later games that pushed the hardware like Megaman 6 and Kirby I think look better than this game in some places. e: Anyone else think the shovel charge is useless? I think it's cool and all but it slows you down way too much to be useful. It either has to slow you down less or do more damage, I feel like I can do more damage by shoveling on the ground, cancelling that animation with a jump, and shoveling in the air (which you can again animation cancel by landing) ferroque fucked around with this message at 20:46 on Jul 2, 2014 |

Has there ever been a useful charge move? The only reason we see it in so many games is that it can be added without adding a new button, as most games move too fast for it to be worth it.

It really depends on how you play it (and how much you abuse the aforementioned relics.) Ferroque posted:e: Anyone else think the shovel charge is useless?

It does hilarious amounts of damage, breaks barriers, and the Dynamo Armor lets you charge it by pogoing. It's not useful against every single foe but any time you have a moment to charge it is worth it.

It's just a bit more colorful and detailed than what I'd expect out of an NES game, so I think more of SNES. As for the charge, the manual one is garbage, but the one you get from Dynamo Armor is exceptionally useful. Can get good combos with that.

Yeesh, I can easily beat the airship stage but then I die a million times on the Propeller Blade bonus level cause I can't quit loving up a jump onto a jellyfish. Also, when is a good time to do the Hall of Champions? Like is it a one time cost of 5,000 to get in or is it 5,000 every time I enter? VVVVV Sweet; yeah, I think I've seen a few people mention 'beating' it, so I assumed it was something like that. discworld is all I read fucked around with this message at 01:00 on Jul 3, 2014 |

Yo sorry if this has been asked already, but I've Googled all over for it and can't find anything. Does the Wii U version get updated with the stretch goal content as it comes out, or will it end up being a less fully-featured port? I'm willing to buy it on the Wii U just as soon as somebody can confirm that I won't be missing out by doing so.

For Treasure Knight's level, how do I get past the part where you ride the missile and you have to blow up the walls? I can clear the first one, jump back to the start, but the second one, I just fall onto the spikes.

I can clear the first one, jump back to the start, but the second one, I just fall onto the spikes. Stand on the nose of the missile and hit the breakable walls as you approach them. If you time it right you can clear them without getting pushed back at all but if your timing is off you'll want to move back to the front of the missile before the next wall. So you know, you'll have to jump at the end so be ready for it.

Just in case if you're trying to keep it aloft by jumping.
