Shovel Knight is really good why would you be surprised that it wasn't dumb OP?

I think I'm just burned out on indie platformers. I went in expecting some referential 'lol' garbage and came out with a really good experience. That game actually takes itself really seriously.

your video suited someone who thinks jokes are dumb, because you sounded incredibly depressed

I for one welcome the introverted, depressed dude with open arms and I enjoyed his review of megaman 9 posted above.

it is cool to go into a great game with low expectations. Hell, that's the opposite of what usually happens with indie games

I don't care about it one way or another myself. Tel me when they make a platformer more like Mario again.

New Mario U is really good. A lot of people talk it down because they think the art style is bland, but it's good Mario levels.

New Mario 2 on 3DS
New Mario Wii U

I'm only interested in in the Wii U one.

I played it on Wii U. It felt at home there, but I also like playing on the gamepad, so do what works for you.

I think the exclusive stuff is basically Miiverse stuff, it's not really a big deal.

It doesn't really matter. Both versions are nearly identical, just grab whichever is your personal preference, and 3DS if you want to have it on the go.

If you told someone "Wacky Indie platformer in NES style pixel art" it would be tough to give it a chance. But shovel knight is insanely win'

Let me take you for a ride.
I liked the Shield Knight dream sequences, it made it so much more satisfying at the end when you do catch her. Best game ending of 2014, it was very heartfelt.
