[@amirgarcia547]

Shovel Knight is one of those few magical indie games like Hollow Knight and Celeste where they’re not only inspired by past games, but even surpass them in several aspects as well.

[@ironichoneybadger5066]

My favorite Shovel Knight fact is that the boss Baz is actually a cameo character who's famous among indie developers as the man with no game, he was a street fighter cut character or something like that, and every game he was put in had some tragic story about failing miserably or something like that, I recommend to look into it, it's really cool, and it makes me appreciate an otherwise pointless character

[@legofrederick3262]

Wait, so you're saying at any indie developer can use this character with needing to ask the original creators?

[@ironichoneybadger5066]

@@legofrederick3262 pretty much, Baz is more memetic concept than actual character nowadays

I actually don't know how to feel after learning that the Japanese version is literally better in every way. There is no reason to play the other versions in comparison. Is there any way to play it on an NTSC platform?

[@mushroomdude123]

Yeah, on the one had it's authentic, but it's also kind of unfair to everyone else...

The switch is region free! You can grab it from the Japanese eshop. Also, sup Mushroomdude123.

[@That_Lady_Charlie]

"better." it's just cosmetic differences.

[@CrimsonMoonM]

Did you know (tm)? Shovel Knight was put into Inti Create's Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 as an amiibo-unlocked boss battle. The reason for this inclusion is that Yacht Club actually published the physical release of the Azure Striker Gunvolt Striker Pack compilation for the western market, so Inti decided to add in some cross-promotion out of gratitude.

[@Hives511]

4:52 *THAT GOT DARK REAL QUICK..*

[@JLMetak]

Yeah I'm surprised that almost no one is paying attention to that line. Like what the hell?!

[@counterblast3885]

I wondered why there was so much fan art of shantae and shovel knight and associated it with their close release dates. But since shovel knight was made by members of way forward it makes more sense.

[@VEN0M415]

Playing this on the new 3ds was glorious, especially in the 3d mode, glad I bought it!

[@sonicmario64]

Because of there being a DYKGaming episode for such a game, I'm hoping they'll be able to do one for "Freedom Planet" in the near future as well. :D

Regarding the checkpoint system: "flipping it on its head" is a common tactic for Game Devs! WoW used to have a system where you would get EXP penalties for playing too long, but players hated it. Instead, this became daily EXP bonuses. Negative vs. Positive reinforcement

@Mochi's Game Hut Oh you sweet summer child, you don't know. They broke up like year or so ago. The details are intentionally scarce, but as Woolie mentioned in the video announcing the break up "Matt and Pat aren't friends anymore" which is basically the equivalent of finding out Santa Claus doesn't exist or that your parents are getting a divorce.

I only really follow Castle Super Beast myself. I guess I just can't get used to their solo work, so seeing at least two of them still have a fun dynamic on their old bullshit works out.
