Looks great but I'm yet to play it.

Yeah I had a look for it on the eshop but I couldn't find it :(

Bought it on Steam though :awe:

Just played the first level and it's ace. 360 pad sucks though so I'm going to play the rest on the VT4 cab :D

I'm kind of disappointed I bought and didn't play Guacamelee instead of buying and not playing Shovel Knight.

When it does arrive on Wii U I'll be sure to buy and not play it then. Maybe I'll write a review of the icon.

I'm on the verge of picking it up. It looks pretty fun, just wish I could try a demo of it first...
Besides, I need more reasons to use my Pro Controller :shifty:

At first I wasn't interested in this at all, because I'm a grumpy git etc, but after some persuation I gave it a shot. I've only beaten the first level but I seriously wasn't expecting such a polished game. Get it even if you're unsure. You won't regret it.
Emulation's nice when done well

Loveing this game atm. You guys should also check out Freedom Planet, took them 3 years to make from a kickstarter, runs at 60fps and handles like a dream.
