Gold from the orbs makes it faster to get the items than to find the hidden areas and collect them normally

I don't remember being able to color armor when I played.

Extra armors aside.

They need a certain amount of gold at certain very specific points to buy equipment, so you have to kill the checkpoints to get the gold right there and not waste time digging it out of dirt or whatever.

Yeah this game looks like it appeals a ton of NES/SNES nostalgia but as someone that doesn't care much for it its not very interesting. Its cool to hear the devs encouraging the speed runners so much though.

Shovel Knight is a pretty cool game. It's very worth buying if you like platformers.

We all loved Boshy and Mario Bros 2/Lost Levels as well.
Nope, I distinctly remember reading bitching about Boshy. Though I really enjoyed both of those a lot. The Lost Levels runner is a really underrated cool dude who should have a larger audience. Has cool overlays on his stream too and is generally just a great streamer. Also has a loving impossible to remember username so I can't tell you.

I don't know, but I think with the Touhou game they gave up and just let it happen. So that should show you how that game rates. :ohdear:

I don't remember the Boshy run getting any hate at all, was a loving boss run. The game got a fair bit of goon rage-disdain though.

The retro thing is just a nicely pulled off dressing on an extremely tight and well designed platformer. I mean I guess if you don't like platformers sure it's not interesting but. You should

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Alright, has any drama happened yet? Has anything really, really cool happened? I watched some chubby black guy play Mario The Lost Levels and he was a whole lot of fun to watch, but that's all I've seen since this started.

Well, it's an incredibly solid game too. It's hard, but not too hard, you have the choice to use relics (special powers) or only your shovel and it's perfectly possible to complete the game either way. It's an incredibly fair game, if you die it's your own fault. It has amazing music and it actually does the "vintage" style correctly in that they use limited color palettes, etc. and didn't just slap some pixel art on an underlying 3D engine like most everyone else.

I love the game to death, and I'm not even a huge fan of the old Mega Man games etc.

I don't get why people think saying you don't care for old game nostalgia means the game is bad. Its a really solid platformer with good design. I mean you can hear the devs doing commentary right now that shows why its well designed.

EDIT: I'll admit though the main reason I don't have nostalgia for this stuff is because I was REALLY loving bad at it as a kid.

Actually since it's a parody, as long as it doesn't use trademarked words like "Tetris" or "Pacific Rim" it would be fine.

A gritty reboot where Shield Knight lies impaled on Shovel Knight's shovel and, in rage, rips the Enchantress's head off in a bloody mess. Only on Playstation 4.

There was some minor drama involving a donation comment in reference to events in Paris being read out on stream and a little bit of a scheduling kerfuffle that resulted in Peaches getting to do his run of Kid Chameleon earier.
