Why should you buy this if you already own Treasure Trove? To support the devs funding their next big Shovel Knight game. It's already in development and they chose to re-sell Shovel of hope as a money collector rather than another kickstarter. Which is fine by me.

[@Vulcanfaux]

I find it mildly annoying that I can't just buy like a $5-10 update for treasure trove to get the extra content in DX. Hopefully they change that in the future, it's just silly to make an entirely separate game that's the "definitive" version from the edition that was supposed to be "the full collection"

[@darrengartland1437]

Treasure trove was absurdly high value. You got 4 fully fleshed out games for the price of one, each of which has dozens on dozens of hours of content. Yacht Club was basically giving you new games for free, for buying a game that you could get for 20 dollars online. I'm sure that DX will be put out at a fair and reasonable price like all of shovel knights standalone expansions. Maybe 10 to 15 dollars.

It brings all the previously platform-exclusive content from treasure trove (knight customisation, fairy companions, the battletoads and kratos boss fights, etc.) under one roof and adds online multiplayer and bonus levels, ports over the showdown characters and includes some neat novelty stuff like a proper cheat menu and 3D, though it is missing the three expansion campaigns

It makes me very happy to see Yacht club games still building on top of this experience all these years later. I remember the excitement that came playing Shovel Knight when I bought it for my 2DS and it was just the one campaign, and then every so often a new campaign would drop and bring back that same enjoyment I felt playing through the original campaign the first time around.

[@YellowpowR]

I haven't seen anyone else talking about this, but between this and Mina the Hollower having ANOTHER Kickstarter, I'm starting to get concerned that Yacht Club Games got a little bit too successful for their britches. We've already seen them make those bizarre Triple-A-esc decisions before, (not releasing Plague of Shadows seperately, etc.) but this is starting to cement to me that the company is not destined to be seen favorably down the line.

[@FelyneFine]

wait wtf you mean mina has another kickstarter??

[@themc3140]

All of those decisions are pretty easy to explain. Plague of shadows wasn't released separately because they considered the games 'expansions' rather than different games at the time. Specter Knight was so different that they ended up turning the original Shovel Knight into a collection where all of the games are free to people who already own it, when a lot of other companies would've released them all as paid DLC. Mina needed a kickstarter, and I'm guessing they're making this game for funding so they don't have to do yet ANOTHER kickstarter for the next shovel knight game, a lot of these characters were in showdown, so I'm sure it was just a matter of porting them over and adjusting them to control better and such. Yacht Club is an investor-free company, so they don't immediately have all the money they need for a project, everything comes from crowdfunding and game sales, and they need to make sure their employees are all paid.

[@YellowpowR]

For Mina the Hollower, they explained on their website the kickstarter as "community interaction," specifically stating that they were not short on funding. There are certainly easier ways to do that, that don't involve $3000 tiers. Hence what I find confusing about the whole situation. And, if they did need a kickstarter for the game, or are using the funding instead for the next Shovel Knight game, that lack of transparency is equally concerning. I suppose what I'm saying is, I forsee Yacht Club being seen in the future with the same scrutiny as Nintendo or Microsoft for "dumb" decisions, which is not a good sign for the indie scene: what happens when indie studios no longer become the "trustworthy" developers?

[@themc3140]

@@YellowpowR The website also specifies that the kickstarter allows it to be a 'more expansive' game, meaning, that, yeah, they would've finished the game without it, but having it probably bought them another few years of development time to add more content and polish it up. Plus a community of backers is probably a lot more valuable and manageable than something like a discord, I wouldn't take that route myself, but I can see why it's a reason for them after Shovel Knight went well.

[@YellowpowR]

@@themc3140 Thanks for pointing out that other specification on their website for me. The point of a Kickstarter, as I see it, is you don't have the money to make your initial project, and if other people want to see it made, they'll support the project monetarily, and be rewarded accordingly. Have you ever noticed how doing another Kickstarter after your first one succeeded is essentially unheard of? Because once you've succeeded in that initial Kickstarter and have money, the expectation is that you use the revenue you've obtained to make your next product. I personally would feel bad starting another Kickstarter after already having a greatly successful one, so from my perspective, those who apparently don't concern me just a little. But it's really in combination with the other stuff that makes me concerned at all.

So to break it down: Treasure Trove has Five Games -Shovel of Hope -Plague of Shadows -Specter of Torment -King of Cards -Showdown This game just has Shovel of Hope with some new content. It is not a definitive version of treasure trove, just the original shovel knight game.

How many times do you expect me to by this game?

When treasure knight gets his own game I'll check it out.

gta v, shovel knight and skyrim are a meme right now xd

[@saintsomnia8030]

Say what you want about indie games like FNAF "milking" their franchises, at least they had more than one game.

[@ellenpoisson5514]

Shovel knight has had more than one game as well. Pocket Dungeon and Dig released not too long ago.

More than 10! 💁‍♂️

I was gonna mention this reminds me of the skyrim re releases, but 20 playable characters and co-op are some legit additions

Kind of a cash grab. Im sure people who bought treasure trove just want the new game already

@@Spintechfilms They are, you just haven't heard of them. Acting like they've only ever released one game is disingenuous, especially since the only time they ever rereleased this game is to put it on consoles that did not already have it. This is just an anniversary edition for people who want it. They've been working on a full sequel and a non-SK IP, as well as publishing other smaller indie titles.

Man I sure was excited for this game 10 years ago.

This looks cool

Terraria and Shovel Knight companies Try Not to Improve and Update your Game for the 1000th Definitive Time Challenge (Impossible) (And I'm all for it, specially Shovel Knight, because I absolutely love the saga and universe and I was wishing to have the POV of all the other characters for so long xD)

[@No_More_Eyes545]

I love Shovel knight and the other 4 heroes, but damn are they milking this great 2d platformer has as fudge

[@RealPersonGuyDude]

ok but if they made Plague of Shadows DX and it had brand new levels that would be so hype

[@ridleyisbored.5393]

Good god, you people have actually turned into Bethesda! All you do is rerelease the same game, year after year after year, only adding in *minor changes and additions* to try and justify the price tag!

[@ErickGameplaysN64]

Could you list the times it was re-released? Strange that I can only think of once, and it's now.🤔

I kind of just want a sequel. A Shovel Knight 2. The Mario Bros 3 to Shovel Knight's SMB.

Geez they have made me sick of this game, every year its the same game

[@ErickGameplaysN64]

This is the first time it's been re-released outside of being included in a collection... Since 2019. And this game is a 10th Anniversary Edition.

[@waynemidnight7454]

I hope Specter of Torment, Plague of Shadows, etc. are also playable. I know all of the other Knights are playable, but I'd like to replay those side stories...

I honestly cannot wait for shovel knight DX Hyper Turbo Edition

[@CJ-ln5ov]

Shovel Knight is one of my favorite 2D platformers, and the option to play as 20+ characters in the main game is beautiful insanity! Are we talking EVERYONE who was playable in Showdown?!

[@MrVariant]

Save states help as you couldn't save at those stretched checkpoints. Nice extras too.

[@Weredevil-p8m]

Would like a true sequel at this point. Something more like Simon's Quest with more RPG elements.

[@Fernando-wo8ox]

Ok, now sell it at a REASONABLE price and with a demo version, so we can try and see if we like it.

[@seannapier2298]

So they’re basically adding in all of the amiibo content into the main game with a few more extra features. Nice

[@Radu-dh9tb]

and you have to pay extra

[@andrewsallee]

As long as all the characters have dialogue unique to them the is a 100% buy from me. As I will beat the game with everyone for that dialogue.

[@zombieeightpack1381]

They should change their studio name from ‘Yacht Club Games’ to just ‘Yacht Club *Game’.*
