That's a neat idea. I hope the games are consistently fun and not like the old school compilation games where a handful are maybe good and the rest are totally forgettable

They're extremely well made classic platformers with great graphics / level design / music.

They're really, really tightly designed. Every room and enemy placement has a ton of thought put into how it interacts with the basic movement mechanics, and the fact that they remixed it three times around new characters and movement abilities is fantastic.

Plague Knight is super fun and they made him work in the original levels, and Specter Knight is also cool and they modified the levels and palettes for him. I haven’t finished either of their campaigns though....

Yacht Club revealed the Shovel Knight battle mode right after the Direct, it's the final expansion and it comes out next year http://yachtclubgames.com/2018/08/shovel-knight-showdown/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nr81mmA_inA

Play as all the key heroes and villains from Shovel Knight, many for the first time ever! Master over 16 playable characters including Shovel Knight, Shield Knight, Black Knight, The Enchantress, and all of the Knights of the Order of No Quarter!

Compete in one-on-one duels, frantic 4 player free-for-alls, and cooperative team battles against AI opponents or your friends in modes like Gem Clash, Showdown, and more!

Battle through Story Mode, a multistage journey customized for each character! Your chosen hero will face a rival, defeat scores of opponents, relax with a minigame or two, and hopefully see their tale completed after an all-new final encounter!

Explore myriad stages inspired by famous characters and locales in Shovel Knight, as well as a plethora of all-new stages.

Prepare and perfect your moves in a full-featured practice mode.

Yacht Club Game’s beautifully authentic style bridges the gap between yesterday and today. Design, art, and audio hearken back to the days of 8-bit, but with a frenetic new coat of paint!

New songs compliment an award-winning soundtrack composed by Jake “Virt” Kaufman.

Balanced and intuitive gameplay is a warm welcome to newcomers, and an old embrace for experts.

this is really cool, I hope it will be good. it reminds me of the Game Center CX games released on the DS. you'd play all these fake NES games made in the style of old-school classics, and you would do various challenges. the first one was called Retro Game Challenge and the second one had a really good fansub. the main selection screen was a living room, and you could read magazines for pro tips. having a game emulate the feeling of getting a new game and later on finding basically a Konami code in a magazine was neat.

I don't care about the multiplayer stuff but the story mode sounds cool. Makes me think of playing Jedi Outcast with custom characters and spawning bosses to fight in cool areas for some reason

Though the battle might be endless, I will never give up
"IGN can exclusively reveal that Shovel Knight: King of Cards, the third and final story-based expansion, will be released on April 9, 2019. Shovel Knight Showdown, previously revealed earlier this week by IGN, will also be released on April 9."

"Yacht Club has also announced a physical version of Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove — the complete collection of Shovel Knight and all of its expansions, will see a physical, retail release on April 9, 2019 in both North America and Europe for the PS4 and Nintendo Switch."

"That same day, April 9, 2019, will also see the release of the previously announced amiibo three-pack featuring Plague Knight, Specter Knight, and King Knight, which Yacht Club first revealed at PAX West 2017."

They seriously went and made a story mode for each and every battle mode character? Assuming they'll be less fully-featured than the ones made for King Knight etc., but that's still loving insane
