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.

Yes, it'll get all the free updates. The 3DS version will be getting everything but the local multiplayer mode.

Tried doing this earlier with the butt and gold armor code. Only the latest code you entered works.

So I'm guessing the two codes posted earlier are special since that list only has codes with letters in them.

If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.

-Butt Mode (nuff said)
-Double and Quad damage modes (pro!)
-Giant Mode: Shovel Knight is 2x as big! Hitboxes for him & weapons are increased accordingly as well but his head is invincible (:aaaaa:)
-All surfaces are slippery and slidey. Turning causes little water droplets to kick up around you as well.
-Upon starting a boss battle, both Shovel Knight and the Boss down to 1/2 a heart. Basically, sudden death boss battles.
-Enemies don't damage you (you still get knocked back and can insta-die) and you have permanent Treasure Ichor
-Armor color changes when you get hit
-Armor color changes when you jump or get hit :frogsiren:
-"Ducktales" mode, start with 99999 gold, can pogo off the ground, enemies do quadruple damage
-the gastronomer is missing

This poo poo is amazing. :allears:

I will say that I wish armor recoloring was an in-game thing instead of a cheat code. I'd like something like the Joseph's Cloak from SotN for Shovel Knight, or at least a simple color-swap option that wasn't tied to armor effect.

1001 spikes is really good and you should buy it after you finish shovel knight.

The explanation the guy gave (Forget where I got this from) was that the name you enter in generates a number code and the game checks to see if it matches up with any of the cheat codes, and that there are multiple combinations that can generate the correct sequence of numbers.

That makes sense, especially with so many options. The cheats are probably just flags, and there's some function that your name gets input into, which calculates a hash of the char values added together or some custom scheme. There's probably some security or error bits that have to match the sum of some other bits, so names that don't match don't have any cheats enabled and you don't activate some cheats on accident just naming your guy 'bob', but that would allow them to generate pretty much infinite cheats to any combination of factors.

Now the fun part is trying to reverse engineer the process from these values, that spreadsheet already has a lot of them... :)

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)

YCG made specific choices about what to keep hardware wise and what to ignore.

Whoever recommended Volgarr the Viking earlier in the thread, thank you very much. I'm getting my rear end kicked and loving it. If Shovel Knight is a modern NES game, Volgarr is a modern late-90s arcade game. The enemies won't take any loving around from you.

Edit: I meant to say late 80s, I'm dumb.

I wonder if there's an EA/Ubisoft mode where the codes do exactly the same thing, but cost money to use. And maybe strip out like three of the levels for you to repurchase as DLC for good measure.

Anyway, I just finished this. The life tally at the end was interesting as I lost like 19 lives on Propeller Knight's stage and somewhere between 0-4 on any of the others. It wasn't terribly hard, but it certainly felt out of place compared to the rest of the game. Like, if every other level is from Megaman 2, Propeller Knight's stage is from the NES Ninja Gaiden 2 (there's even a stage with changing wind patterns in that game). Not a bad stage exactly, but definitely out of place.

It's much more similar to Rastan than GnG:

Volgarr doesn't really play much like Rastan, though, which you should be thankful for. Rastan is not a good game and the ports/sequels are all terrible.

Finished this a few minutes ago. Great game, though I agree with the earlier posters who said the game is desperately cheapened by relics. I had much more fun in the second half when I stuck to the shovel.

PS Thanks for the sticky earlier Kewpuh, I would never have even seen this game otherwise, and that's terrible!

This 'Fiesta Mode' cheat code for the game suddenly became much harder when I realized that you only get one random relic per level and chalices count as relics, so buying one beforehand accomplishes nothing but wasting your money.
