It still disappoints me that Shovel Knight is a better Mega Man successor than the game that should've been a great Mega Man successor with all of the money it made from kickstarter.
StaticShock42 imaging if sk had mighty no nines budget?
Mega man doesn’t need a successor
Why is this on the Ign channel? I saw the exact same video a long time ago.
We're big fans of Gamer Maker's Toolkit and want to surface more awesome content like this to our 8 million+ subscribers. With Shovel Knight's new DLC on the horizon and more retro styled games getting crowdfunded every day, we thought this was something you all might enjoy. Definitely let us know if you want to see more like this on IGN!
lets just hope you're not another machinima
IGN superbunnyhop, Ragnar rox, and shammy!
IGN Games deserve to be scrutinized with advanced game literacy like Mark Brown's approach, not with graphical comparisons between systems. As a news media, it's your responsibility to reveal truth behind what makes games great, and I hope you will follow his lead.
IGN Well... As video games matures as a medium and as an art form, these kind of (almost) academic studies provide a better perspective to understand the underlying mechanisms and help to broad the discussion around games (beyond marketing campaigns and clickbait videos). In fact, these videos can even enable developers to introduce more depth and meaning into their games, since they prove that there is a part of the audience that appreciates more complex and layered exploration of their worlds. Nevertheless, I hope media companies like IGN take care of these creators and do not force them to follow a schedule detrimental to the research that these analysis entail.
tl;dr Yes, please. Bring more of these kind of shows to the forefront.
Shovel Knight is amazing.
Definitely one of my favorite games to come out of 2014. I especially like the retro style and callbacks other classic games.
True.
Asuna Yuuki You might love Ni No Kuni 2 (it's coming out this year). NNK 1 played just like a snes jrpg
+Nikola Predovan Oh, for sure. I loved the first Ni No Kuni.
Asuna Yuuki A great game indeed!
I dare say Shovel Knight is one of the best games I've ever played.
shovel knight is such a good game
Shovel Knight is definitely one of my favorite games of all time
Shovel Knight Is Not Good Bcuz it's Nostalgia to era where Devs can get away With Cheap Tactics and design,
Shovel Knight is Good Bcuz it's Well crafted, nice looking Game by People who Actually want to make Art
《X-RAGENATOR》 rogue legacy is better
GAPPY《X-RAGENATOR》 Uh a game can be good for multiple reasons
Agreed, but they are merely talking about the nostalgic part of it, and the term "cheat" is meant loosely. However, the commentator can seem a bit rude about the subject and perhaps casts the game in a less shining light then he means to.
"By making Shield Knight strong and capable."
Have you played Spectre of Torment yet?
Ikr lmao
I mean, who cannot forget all those sprite scaling and rotations, pixel blending and truecolor color palettes in our old 8-bit games?!
never played this game...so i think im goin to get it for the switch...looks awesome
Danny Morales same except i had it on wiiu 3ds
ExKorpio lol u know it manee
Geeksquad59 nicee
JUST DO IT!!! DOOO IITTT!!
Danny Morales you won't regret it, buy it.
I didn't go into Shovel Knight thinking ""yeah nostalgia!!" it was just another game to me
Same.
Yes shield knight is a great character. Does it matter they are female? No. A good character is a good character. Progressive ideology leads to an affirmative action in forcing characters to be something to click the check box off on the diversity list. I would rather a company make a great character, that happens to be a minority or female, then a company that makes a token character. Shield knight sticks with the placement of the hero goes to save the girl but evolves it to make the girl not be a weak character. Samus worked because it was a great character that you identified with, oh and they happen to be female. A good character is a good character. A sloppy character that had to be *Blank* minority to make the diversity police happy just gives people leverage to say "all *blanks* and terrible in this form of media". Have the people represent the area and if you make a good character that doesn't fit the established people of the area then congratulations you made a good minority character.
Shovel Knight is a phenomenal game, I'm glad I played it. can't wait to get treasure trove for the switch.
I grew up with an NES, It was the first video game console I ever owned. So many good games that I played as a kid and continued to play for years to come. But I can honestly say that Shovel Knight is a better game than every single NES game I've ever played besides probably Super Mario Bros 3.
This game is AMAZING, everyone should play it.
Excellent video! Looking forward to more from Game Maker's Toolkit.
Yeah I've probably watched about 80% of his videos by now. Planning on watching the rest today :p
Shovel Knight is not an ounce of nostalgia.
Its just a damn good game.
Hey, thanks for sharing this, IGN. I hadn't seen any Game Maker's Toolkit before.
Shovel Knight is better than Mega man, IMO.
Did you get permission to re-upload this and are you giving Mark Brown the ad revenue from this?
Obviously they have permission from Mark Brown to upload this. Even if he gets exactly 0% of the ad revenue, it's still worth it for him because IGN has 8 million subscribers, he'll most definitely get a fair amount of cross-subscribers, grow his channel and in-turn make more ad revenue on his own videos in the future. Win-win.
Shovel Knight is one of my favorite games this gen.
I find it cool that you are providing exposure to a content creator that really deserves it, but shouldn't this video have included an end-card that points people that want more of content like this to the appropriate channel? At least on the description you should point at Mark's channel, or at least write that this video was copied with permission.
What's a game at 2:50?
Metal Storm
To the point about being Progressive, I don't believe most gamers have a problem with "strong female characters" and we certainly don't have with old concepts being turned on their head (expectations being inverted).
Nothing wrong with strong female characters, and nothing wrong with indicating that the main character's loved one is a partner and just a prize.
Exactly, it just goes to show you how disconnected people in video game media are from the average gamer.
I think the point is that Shield Knight actually gets developed into her own character instead of being just a damsel in distress. The final twist is also very sweet in this story about loss and acceptance.
Once you notice this, you can’t unnotice it. All the characters use only 2 colours and black in their designs, alike the limitations of classic NES sprites. Of course there are shades of the colours but it’s a nice detail.
they missed pokemon mechanics XD NOT ENOUGH FOR ME XD
andre borges i know right. Rawr xD xD xD
Joustus from King of cards reminds me of Pokémon mechanics.
(Am i weird?)
D1 on the Switch!
This game is an absolute blast. No doubt about it, this is what retro gaming is all about.
Hadn't seen this video before. Awesome analysis. Can't wait for the Spectre Knight DLC. :)
One of the first games I played when I got a 3ds recently and I was instantly in love. Everyone should try this game.
I never played Shovel knight but looking at it it is the best retro esque game i have seen that try and do retro but IMOP fail like Broforce (id say more but they really don't grab mu attention for me even to remember them). I'm prepping to get Shovel knight for the switch because i feel its the cleanest looking game of this genre. No trying to do to do any thing fancy with 8/16 bit style graphics,
Shovel knight was a fantastic game. Period. Especially on 3DS, the controls and 3D made the game perfect.
Reminds me of wizards and warriors a little bit
best game of 2014, shovel knight.
I swore I saw this already lol.
same here
exposure!!!
Stolen Memes
Right.
I bought it on PS4, played it, loved it, and I'm buying it again on the switch. Is the switch going to have a physical version of this game?
Paulo Henrique Lima nintendo switch better it got co-op
@@anime4everjapan848 Every version have coop but only for Shovel of hope.
this is just the feel good kind of video I needed to self-justify my purchasing of Shovel Knight 5, soon to be 6(Switch), times since it's release
I think IGN needs to make some sort of disclaimer opening or outro before blatantly uploading someone else's video without any edits. Seriously, it shouldn't matter if they have permission, there should be a huge disclaimer IN THE VIDEO, not just the description.
I want to play cuphead on Nintendo switch
your wish is granted
Great job Yacht Club! One of the best games I've ever played. If you haven't played this yet, you're missing out big time.
They need to do more games like this in the future!
5:23 Dude check out more carefully the Sword Master . The parallax scrolling is beyond the NES limitations , they use some very clever trickery .
Wanna play another beautiful retro game?
Play "Mibibli's Quest", it's amazing! (and extremely hard >:O)
I almost finished it :)
Not kidding ive been on the fence on this game since its launch. I have a switch and both versions of the new 3ds, honestly gonna pick this up for my 3ds' now cuz of this great review.
One of my favorite soundtracks in any game, rivaling FF6 and Ni No Kuni. The gameplay was pretty great too.
mark brown getting some love!
I literally just got shovel knight on Christmas, it feels like it's suddenly come back with the treasure trove dlc
I love this game! Even more so in how it handles DLC right! SPECTER KNIGHT HYPE!
Great video, now I know what game I DEFINITELY want to get on the Switch on launch day!
"you lose your money when you die, and you have to make your way back to where you failed to reclaim your loot, a system ripped straight out of dark souls"... BOI DID YOU EVER HEAR OF THE WARIOLAND GAMES ON GAMEBOY???
game looks great ! can't wait to play
And this was made BEFORE Specter of Torment and Body Swap dropped in to say hi.
Body Swap doubling down on the progressiveness by letting you change the gender of ANY of the Knights, and even the Enchantress.
I found Mark Brown a few weeks ago with his Zelda dungeon series on Twilight Princess. He has some very interesting videos. I hope IGN asked to upload this one and not just took it to ride the Specter of Torment/Switch hype.
Playtonic should take note.
I love Banjo Kazooie, but Yooka Laylee was a pandering cocktail of everything wrong with Rareware's old outings.
What your favorite song mines shovel of hope king knight and shovel of hope trouple kings dance song
Built by wayfowward? Bruh yacht club made it
Yacht Club was formed from members of Wayforward.
When I saw shovel knight in the Eshop I was like "WTF why a game like this is 20$?" and when I bought it I realised it deserve more than 20$...
Ill admit it I tried to beat it couldn’t. I couldn’t beat VSing all the bosses.in the enchantress tower level 2
I used cheats to beat it
But I finally went back. It took a long time but....
I beat all the bosses
And then I got stuck at the enchantress
But...
I beat her to
i just buy the game last week and im almost cry because the game is soo good, the feels you get the game that exactly you really wanted long long time ago, this game remind me the old time playing castlevania simphony of the night mix of megaman and the other 2d side scroll game that almost hard to find today.
it's not about nostalgia for me, It's just a great game. I didn't even think about those other old games while playing it, and i played and finished most of those that influenced this one.
Cool vid, thanks for sharing IGN, and thanks for the PSVita that I won in the fall of 2011 at a Hollywood GameStop. 👍
They ripped off getting gold back from where you die from Dark Souls??? How bout Diablo II?
when black knight use his down attack is just look like meta knight attack in kirby super star ultra ... and his final battle to his wing k=like metaknight
I did like the majority of the video except for the last part in which a lot of people and I find that particular game OK.
We will never get a shovel knight 2 but luckily we have dlc stuff
im pretty sure yooka laylee devs played shovel knight since hes in the game lmao also mighty number 9 is just megaman because thats the point
Who is the voice actor for the doctor guy at about 8:15 he awfully sounds like the guy who voiced uncle Iroh in Avatar?
Decided to randomly purchase this game on the psn for the Vita and let me tell you..
Such such a great game!!!
if you can beat "berder herder" in the challenge mode, you are a true gamer. i've beat it 3 times now. brilliant amazingly simple design and one room stage that is so good. i love berder herder.
OMG pls tell me what is the name of the game at 2:07 ? I remember playing it when I was little. Oh my god the nostalgia 😌😌😌
Is it wrong i love these old style games the most?
666FUNBOY666 Not at all
Yep. This is exactly why Double Dragon 4 pisses me off as well as any new Kunio-Kun game.
Eh. It's a fine game, but I'd play Tropical Freeze over Shovel Knight any day.
Shovel Knight is my favorite game of the last 10 years.
Does anyone think that the 3ds version is the best one?
First good video on this channel I've seen in years, except it's not even made by IGN...
+IGN
Does the owner of this video know of you uploading his video on your channel?
I have so much fun playing Shovel Knight I don't even realize it's supposed to be like the classics except for the super mario bros 3 and megaman parts
4:34 What was this game called again? I used to play this!
first
I've plaid it before and never once thought it was a megaman inspired game.
Glad to see GMTK on IGN where it can get some of the exposure it deserves!
They should dial the graphics and colors back and turn it into a Nes bootleg
Yacht Club Games made shovel knight... you got the devs wrong.
I'm curious how a GMTK episode came to be on the IGN channel.
I like this kind of content. More please.
This is a little off topic but can anyone tell what game is being shown at 2:08?
1:11 He fires oranges.
Rest In Peace Lemons. 😔
Shovel Knight is such a brilliant game in many more ways than 1
Am I the only that is absolutely getting sick of shovel knight?
is this game even coming out on the switch, or is this just a mod ?
Oh yeah they took the resting sequences from golden axe too.
you forgot how the yellow dragon is like crocamire in metriod
the checkpoint thing is actually pretty similar to warioland
Oh, the pain of the Clockwork Tower.
Wow, great vid! Very insightful critique and while I knew Shovel Knight was a good game, this finally sold me to the point where I'm going to finally go out and buy it. Thanks!
Wait this is a Mark video but on IGN?
No that's not rights
This was a great review. Clicked like not even a few minutes through. Shovel Knight is quite simply one of the most important games to come out in the last decade. Period.
Ha. figured it wasn't ign. This was too solid of a video.
The nes American version of castlevania 3 sounded better
