I dig it, too! The information was nice and GROUNDED in reality. Although i do wish I could have been BOULDER with my choice of pun. Overall, though, I’d say this video ROCKS! A real GEM!
Oh hey, it's me at 5:45. I'm flattered that my footage was included, but I don't think anyone reached out to ask permission to use it? 'Cause I totally would've said yes, but I would've pushed for the MM2 Boobeam Trap boss or the MM4 Wily Machine boss for a more dramatic flickering effect.
@Mochi's Game Hut Due to them basically getting sick of having to see each other just to record stuff they disbanded the channel. At least that's what they said.
@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.
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.
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
Today on Twitter I saw a thread that was like "Name a better video game IP than this that's come out since 2010!" (they showed The Last of Us) and honestly, my first thought was Shovel Knight. It's been an incredible journey with this franchise since it came out, and I can't wait to see what the future for it will be.
Deuce Moncura You can say that again... that does sound quite bizarre for a name for a character... I found it funny that they even included this mod to begin with, it's so hilarious lol! 😂😂😂
Not only my first indie game but the first game I bought digitally Also bonus fact at pax 2015 a man went to yacht club game’s booth gave him $20 and said “sorry for pirating shovel knight.”
Their dedication paid off in SPADES. *GET IT?!?* Seriously though, this game is simply a masterpiece. So pretty, so tightly designed, so memorable. I love it all.
The crazy part is, for such a humble start, they really knocked it out of the park. All together with the other 3 expansions campaigns I would have to rate not only in my top 3 of this and last gen, but all-time period!
1:50 I get what you are saying, but SK's downward thrust seems directly ripped from Scrooge McDucks Pogo Cane attack, the whole game actually seems like it could be DuckTales 3 with different sprites...
5:46 Footage courtesy of the most underrated channel, GeminiLaser. Seriously, go check it out, his Mega Man playthroughs are top notch with fun commentary!
I appreciate the dedication to make the game different with the Japanese version. But I also dislike bring reminded of the worst aspect of video games and the feeling that I'm playing am inferior version.
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.
Might Number 9 and Yooka Laylee should take notes from Shovel Knight Shovel Knight may not have gained a million dollars but the gameplay and quality was much better
Mighty No. 9 just sucks, while Yooka Laylee started out pretty bad but got better with time, though not as good as Shovel Knight, which is clearly the best of the three
You wanna know something? As a kid I made a very earthboundy like comic back in middle school and my cast who arrived in a mining kingdom were gonna get their last party member who was last ‘shovel knight”. It’s just boggles me that ideas can be universal in different ways.
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?
This is gonna be fun. Shovel Knight is my favorite game. 1:08 that is fucking amazing. I did not know. 5:10 PRINCESS MCGUFFIN HAHAHAHAHA 8:00 oh, what we got is so much better than Richter mode. 9:20 WHAT!? I DID NOT KNOW THAT
Can we have part 2 after King of cards comes out, describing the development of Specter of Torment, King of Cards, and Showdown? Also be sure to mention the fact that Shovel Knight appears more in other games than he does in his own series.
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.
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
We always have Rivals of Aether and the upcoming showdown minigame for that. But it's still really insane to see indie titles like Shantae, Shovel Knight and Undertale have some form of representation in Smash Bros. as it's list of included games and franchises is still growing to this day.
6:28 and this game used it better than any other dont @ me. Really, there should have been more virtualboy esc games on the 3DS. they have the same concept just the 3Ds pulls it off way better.
Did you know? Shovel Knight uses a shovel to fight, which is why he’s called Shovel Knight. An interesting coincidence is how Plague Knight uses the Plague, King Knight uses Kings, and Specter Knight uses nothing (because ghosts don’t exist)
I wonder if some of the visual improvements made for the original version’s Famicom Disk System Mode have been made available on future releases like the Treasure Trove Switch release...🤔
I need to actually play this game. I downloaded shovel Knight treasure trove on my Wii u and hadn't played it although a good friend of mine who was over at my house at the time played it and it was awesome
4:11 "One feature they tinkered with..."
Nice touch showing Tinker Knight there
As the editor, I was hoping someone would catch that!
@@TheCartoonGamer8000 I noticed it immediately as well. Anyone who knows the game will surely catch the reference.
I got to say I really dig this episode. Thanks for having me on sirs, it was an honor!
Dig...geddit? Wocka wocka wocka!
I dig it, too!
The information was nice and GROUNDED in reality. Although i do wish I could have been BOULDER with my choice of pun.

I literally only clicked cuz it was you
Stop having other TH-camrs go to other videos, algorithm!
I don't get it.
"he would eventually bury his wife"
damn
Shovel Knight is an NES game in spirit, but it plays the way you remember NES games from your childhood, rather than the way they actually were.
Its like a an snes game on steroids in terms of graphics with the music of an nes and an artstyle of an nes too.
Did you know? Kratos got beaten up by a guy with a shovel.
And it's canon to God of War.
So did the battle toads
I think that says more about the guy with the shovel.
Did you know? The guy with the shovel got beaten up by Scrooge McDuck?
@@zeyanhtet9040 death battle is a uncanon mess which doesnt go further into details
9:08 Plague Knight wins by doing absolutely nothing
They could end it with a Scooby-Doo reveal, where they remove the mask and discover... Luigi?!
Well. he is green after all.
Just as helpful as an actual plague doctor.
@@Glory2Snowstar Oooo sick burn.
Can't wait to see those kinds of videos in Showdown
Oh hey, it's me at 5:45. I'm flattered that my footage was included, but I don't think anyone reached out to ask permission to use it? 'Cause I totally would've said yes, but I would've pushed for the MM2 Boobeam Trap boss or the MM4 Wily Machine boss for a more dramatic flickering effect.
Commenting to get this more traffic.
@@TheTH-camGame Same
I feel like they never ask for permission, just uses it and credits...
No offense, but you really shouldn't have to ask permission for every piece of recorded gameplay. Fair Use goes both ways.
there is a credit though in the corner
having Shesez narrate reminds me that all of Shovel Knight is actually a 3D game with sprites at different distances from the camera.
1:36 "Hey all! _Nick here!"_
Damn, imagine the game being about retrieving Shield Knight's body just so he can give her a proper burial
"Super Best Friends Play"
RIP
I still cry

Feels bad man. At least they all still have their solo stuff, I personally only follow Matt though.
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.
*I've been waiting for this for over 5 years... I can't get happier*
That “has a shovel and at the end of the game he buries his wife” line disturbed me

Wait, so you're saying at any indie developer can use this character with needing to ask the original creators?
@@legofrederick3262 pretty much, Baz is more memetic concept than actual character nowadays
@@ironichoneybadger5066 Ok, good to know.

FINALLY it's here
You talking about this video, or King of Cards?
3:44
Don’t... don’t bring it up...
The wounds are still... still too raw
The Zaibatsu is gone. It's dead.
But they're still on my back, and in my heart!
They're a part of me!
I like that this was uploaded while shovel Knight is digging to just shapes and beats. Man I'm excited for the update.

Did you know? I love Shovel Knight and it really made me appreciate indie games, the wii u and ps vita since both had so many amazing indie games
"Someone Suggested "Butt" Mode To Be The Next Goal."
I feel like a child suggested this lol! 😂😂😂
"Patiently" waiting for King of Cards...almost...here...! 😊😀
And hopping they will release it on 3DS
Omg I'm still waiting for my preorder. Why!?!😭😫
The fire TV version got all the updates so far. I hope it will get showdown too
IT'S HERE!! AND IT'S GREAT!!
Ah, indie episodes... Binding of Isaac would be a great one.
“Did you know? Bob’s Brain sustains itself off of your own suffering and annoyance.”
One for Ori and the Blind Forest, please?
I’d love an episode on Enter the Gungeon. It has so many references and Easter eggs that could be talked about.
Now that shovel knight has happened, many more indies MUST follow suit (ill sub when they do hollow knight...)
I always thought the downward thrust was inspired by Ducktales tbh
True, true.
that’s what I always heard
That was just the assumption people made because more people are familiar with Duck Tales than Zelda II.
I forgot about this game for a while, so glad you finally made an episode about it, next Binding of Isaac please
Shesez AND Shovel Knight? What an awesome combo!
Their dedication paid off in SPADES.
*GET IT?!?*
Seriously though, this game is simply a masterpiece. So pretty, so tightly designed, so memorable. I love it all.
Eh? It's basically just another Indie game; Undertale, but more on the physical side.

There's a cheat that lets you play with all the differences in English!
@@ghhn4505 Thank God. I should have expected better from yacht club.
The code, by the way, is KUWA-GATA.

Might Number 9 and Yooka Laylee should take notes from Shovel Knight
Shovel Knight may not have gained a million dollars but the gameplay and quality was much better
@referral madness Are you stupid?
Yooka Laylee is a different game style and in my opinion is really good
@@charlioanimations The first one was just bad I dont have to explain why
Mighty No. 9 just sucks, while Yooka Laylee started out pretty bad but got better with time, though not as good as Shovel Knight, which is clearly the best of the three

As a kid I made a very earthboundy like comic back in middle school and my cast who arrived in a mining kingdom were gonna get their last party member who was last ‘shovel knight”. It’s just boggles me that ideas can be universal in different ways.
i’ve been waiting for this one for years
This convinced me to Play Shovel Knight
perfpet it’s a top three indie game imo. I played it twice.
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?
Yeah, on the one had it's authentic, but it's also kind of unfair to everyone else...
There should be a button to activate "japan mode"
Eh. I like the faithfulness to the hardware in question.
The switch is region free! You can grab it from the Japanese eshop.
Also, sup Mushroomdude123.
"better."
it's just cosmetic differences.
This is gonna be fun. Shovel Knight is my favorite game.
1:08 that is fucking amazing. I did not know.
5:10 PRINCESS MCGUFFIN HAHAHAHAHA
8:00 oh, what we got is so much better than Richter mode.
9:20 WHAT!? I DID NOT KNOW THAT
I am (jokingly) offended this wasn't narrated by Arin Hanson. But Boundary Break is a neat show, and I'm glad Shesez is getting more recognition. :)
Shesez! Great episode guys.
Playing this on the new 3ds was glorious, especially in the 3d mode, glad I bought it!
great episode. Finally its Shovel Knight. I'm So glad
4:52 *THAT GOT DARK REAL QUICK..*
Yeah I'm surprised that almost no one is paying attention to that line.
Like what the hell?!
Can we have part 2 after King of cards comes out, describing the development of Specter of Torment, King of Cards, and Showdown? Also be sure to mention the fact that Shovel Knight appears more in other games than he does in his own series.
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
Hell Yeah who else was waiting for a shovel knight video
Remember when they hinted at doing this, like, 3 years ago?
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.
King of Cards is going to be lit!
The antidepressant i needed after DMC5.
Finally.
I like this game. They really covered all the bases.
I played the original game once, and for some reason never touched it again. Which is weird because I enjoyed it. lol
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

Nothing beats a jelly-filled donut!

"Butt Mode is in" is truly the most inspiring quote I have ever heard.
You know, if they were going to upgrade the graphics I am sure everyone would have wanted that in thier version . . .
CamTheKitty i appreciate your Lucius avatar
Me too :)
There is a cheat code to get those graphics. KUWA-GATA I believe
Would love a shovel knight 2
Maybe following shield knight instead or being able to play as both like X and Zero, a man can dream
i never knew about the japan thing! though, now im jealous of the more frames they have...

@@Chaos89P interesting!

Don't you mean jelly filled donuts! 🙃
A Shovel Knight video would have felt wrong if I didn't add the little level jingle at the start. :P
