Oh cool

Shovel Knights a nice character so this is pretty cool

Decent indie games have to stick together man.

Hey, neat. I like that.

I dig it

Oh cool!!

Nice.

So Shantae is gonna be in the game as well I'm guessing

>the indie scene today

Is Shovel Knight the new Nintendo Seal of Quality?

Wow, I love Shovel Knight. I'll be sure to get this game now. Do you think they'll get the person who made Shovel Knights OST to collab with this game as well? That would be dope.

Neat.

Anyone who hates this is an SJW and should go back to you know where :^)

I don't get it.
Are you implying the indie scene has turned into Cred Forums?

Why bother? They have Grant Kirkhope to put hope and wonder in us.

fuck off carlos

wow music that will make the gameplay bearable.

Fuck off Carlos.

desu I want David Wise to make the soundtrack

I wonder what he'll sound like

Picked up.

Will Shovel Knight stay as the "mascot" of indie vidya? He is essentially perfect for it, recognizable design and that "righteous" marketable personality most famous mascots "like mario, mickey or superman" have, except he doesnt feel bland for it since it is completely justified (he is a fucking knight). I wonder if he will persist the next decades or he will just fade into obscurity like many other indie mascots.

Wow, glad I got my refund.

Not in Yooka-Laylee. Might be in another of their games though

Was that short trailer all they showed and then the Q&A, I may have missed the start.

Fucking hell why is Shovel Knight fucking everywhere

no, it means that the scene has turned into one giant circlejerk
none of these 'gestures' like putting other characters in, are sincere. It's just a way for devs to become accepted by the group

Shovel Knight was/is in alot of upcoming indies.

There is a unused sprite of him in LISA.

He and Plauge Knight are in Creepy Castle with other Indie characters.

I dont mind since Shovel Knight actually is a good Indie game.

>recognizable
>personality

His concept is garbage and has no discernible personality evident from said design.

Shovel Knight is a meme.

Circlejerk. Everyone's main character gets in to everyone elses games. Shovelknight is the worst for it so far with a bunch of cameos

he already is
youtube.com/watch?v=yTxm9grgAs8

Brand recognition.

So how did this happen to Playtonic go to Yacht Club to ask for this or was the other way around? I'm pretty sure it's the former

So instead of "featuring Dante from DMC" we now get "featuring Shovel Knight from Shovel Knight"

where are you getting this new info? Is there some new trailer or something

Coming.

top right corner, nigga

twitch egx

v/91310889?t=02h30m53s

I'd say so, but he was in the trailer for tales of alethrion and it still hasnt seen a proper release

from the interview where they showed the trailer it sounded like the first.

>His concept is garbage
If shovel knight has a garbage concept I don't know what you want to think of 99% of all NES and SNES characters.

Cameo characters? In MY collectathon?

This would be the same if YL were a BK oficial game, and Mario is there as a cameo.

This is neat.

Name 5 games where Dante guest starred.

>Aspiring indie games have cameos from other successful indie games
>AAA devs used to do the same thing
>This is somehow insincere because everything is a plot to get accepted by some group
Nothing is ever for fun, is it?

>Circlejerk

So basically Cred Forums, right?

nevermind

youtube.com/watch?v=3TZo5Gnxog8

Maybe they just want to have fun with the things they created. Maybe if you also created something worthwhile it could also be the same Reine setland

Is Shovel Knight the Lightning of the indie scene?

He has as much personality as the mascots i mentioned earlier. He is the "hero type" trope, and his design is memorable while slightly bordering on goofy, just like Italian plumber, man with underwear over his pants and rat on overalls.

You sound very bitter user. You can twist most actions to seem like self interest. But you don't know these people personally and despite you thinking you are smart you aren't smart enough to know what they're intentions are based on their actions.
You should talk a walk and stop browsing Cred Forums so much. This place seems to be making you angry and bitter.

Well, many of them didn't make it. Don't even get me started on Sega.

Bubble Bobble probably only survived because they were made 'kawaii' later and because of the catchy music.

No, since people don't loathe Shovel Knight.

Oh look this game turned out to be shit just like everyone thought it would be when it was being shilled to fucking hell.

Seems really dumb. I hope it's an easter egg that can easily be ignored. Doesn't gel well at all

Have you played it friend?

>game hasn't released yet
>DUDE ITS SHIT LMAO

Is this le tricky hook maymay again?

Thats pretty sweet. I loved Shovel Knight. I'll see when YL launches if its good before making a purchase decision.

Welp, was gonna buy this game but not anymore.

Might pirate it.

Cred Forums?

>DMC4
Oh you son of a bitch

Eh.

This.

But also this.

Mickey's resourcefulness can be inferred from his worker's shorts with a 'magical' red color.
Superman's resilience and propensity to do good can be inferred from stark use of primary colors, muscle-tight clothing, and pristine cape.
Mario's strength is evident from his shirt and overalls, jumping ability highlighted by big brown noticeable shoes.

Between the horns and Fisher Price shovel as well as a generic suit of armor, there is not one thing that can be deciphered about Shovel Knight from his design. The only reason that you might SUSPECT that he's a good guy is because his armor is bright blue, but that could just as easily be the entire design of a weak, generic enemy in a tower defense mobile game, especially with a joke weapon like a shovel.

Oh you.

So how long until this guy is in Smash

i imagine yacht club approached nintendo about it as some point considering he has his own amiibo already

The more important question is how long will it take for the rights on SN to be bought by Nintendo

>all these indie characters keep crossing over
>Still no indie crossover fighting game

And 'Never' is the answer to both of those.

I'd main him.

Yacht Club in general seems to be in really good terms with Nintendo, considering how much Nintendo pushed for Shovel Knight.

>one-hit wonder makes it into smash

No

I'll believe you, Anonymous

Excuse me Yooka Laylee is the best game ever, and anyone who says anything bad about it should be flamed. YL is what's going to save gaming, it's going to make a fucking difference. Playtonic games is made up of so many talented people who have such great vision.
Oh wait fuck this game.

that's not new at all. The unlockable characters in Super Meat Boy was basically an indie roster

Crossover games already sell like dick and balls. An Indie crossover could only ever happen if all the devs are bored and join together for like 3 months in some vague, ambiguous Superband-type development process.

And it would probably be shit. Cool. But probably shit.

Why do you hate a game that is not released yet so much?

stop.

Why does a single indie game trigger you so much?

>t.Asshurt redditors
What, did you shit your pants becahse Goku didnt get into smash? Lmao mad as fuck

Why couldnt this be a easter egg or something it would have been better if it was a surprise
Why do devs do this shit nowadays

Don't let it get to you bud

>Mario's strength is evident from his shirt and overalls, jumping ability highlighted by big brown noticeable shoes.
This is retarded.
Firstly nobody has ever seen Super Mario for the first time and gone "Wow look at those shoes!" - most child-friendly cartoon characters tend to have larger feet than they would in a realistically proportioned cartoon. Mickey mouse has larger feet than Mario but nobody looks at Mickey Mouse and think "that boy's gonna be doing a lot of jumping"
Second, pretty much every aspect of mario's design was chosen to make his movements disctinct - his overalls make his arms distinct from his body, his hat and mustache make his head not one big blob. Anything you infer about his personality is pure coincidence.

Shovel Knight has:
>Large chest, suggesting strength, resilience, and boldness
>the face on his armor gives him a permanently determined look
>his stark use of primary colors suggests a propensity to do good and resilience
>his use of a shovel as a weapon indicates his good-heart (not using a tool for killing), willingness to help, and desire to overcome adversity (shovels are designed to dig through an obstscle)
Just because you don't like it, doesn't make it a bad design

To be in sm4sh, you have to:

A: Be a long-running, established franchise

Or

B: Be an advertisement for an upcoming Nintendo title

Shovel Knight is too young to gauge if he's worth "immortalizing" in Sm4sh. He's the face of indie games right now, but that will fade if Yatchclub decides to create a new IP for their next game.

People didn't loathe Lightning either until she started getting shoved in everywhere.

Shilling Knight is rapidly getting to that point.

Source? Why not?

I literally buy games based on Shanty's inclusion. Just ask Indivisible. Day one for me

If you gonna troll, atleast call him "Shovelware Knight"

That's cool. But I think we all know who the better choice would be.

This is truly a retarded and completely wrong analysis of character design. I don't even know where to begin to disprove everything you just said, but bless that other user who replied for trying. You have no idea how to interpret character design.

The time has come and so have I

Reminder that Toby Fox HATES crossover circlejerks and told the Indivisible developers to go fuck themselves when they begged to have an Undertale character to help save their Kickstarter

Gunvolt 2
Indivisible
Now Yoka Laylee

Thats it I guess.

How long until "people" start begging for Sans to be in.

I could really go for Shovel Knight 64.

The question is, what style of 3D platformer do you go for?

>this triggers the autists
You have to be pretending unless you actually have autism. People genuinely upset over this are insane.

Source on the begging??

I thought Quote was the definitive indie mascot. Shovel knight is just a super generic knight with a shovel.

Seemingly the Shovel Knight you loathe so much didnt bump up their sales that much after all.

The new Shantae. Indivisible. He's in some indie kart racer that I forget the name of.

shovel knight is more of a Mario clone than anyone else.

>The new Shantae
Please stop making shit up, thanks.

The only crossover character in HGH is the Drifter.

Shovel knight is a ducktales clone. It should be pretty obvious sine its a team of ex-wayfoward and the last game they worked on was ducktales remastered

>Kids today ridiculing 2D platformers as mediocre
>One extremely average indie ripoff manages to garnish enough love to be featured in every other game forever

Why are kids today so tsundere? Just play Megaman 2 or Bucky O' Hare you dumb shits.

>DMC 4

>I ended up in the wrong game trope

I'd say Zelda 2, one of the devs really loves that game and was the inspiration for the downward stab in SK.

Kids aren't the ones who bought Shovel Knight user.

I doubt he hates the idea, but he'd like Undertale to stop being talked about.

>people hating on this
Why?
I love all these little crossovers in indie vidya. It reminds me of early Sony and SNES-N64 era Nintendo and how they would put all sorts of little references to other games made by their peers.
It's charming. I wish all the ones the use Cave Story would use Kero Blaster instead, though, since Nicalis screwed Pixel out of that game.

I hope this gets a physical release desu

I want Shovel Knight to be in every indie game just to trigger the Redditors that hate him.

>You will never ram a shovel up a pedophile Knight's ass
Odd feel.

I don't think we have trolling anymore just obvious shit posts and shit taste that comes off as trolling, but isnt.

>I dont mind since Shovel Knight actually is a good Indie game.

This.

When it's more resemblance and not straight ripoff, it's nicer, but I don't hate it either.

Okay sorry, here it is
youtube.com/watch?v=D4xaWMKBlw4

I don't hate it, but I am tired of all the random ass cameos for the sake of cameos.

Reminder that Shovel Knight will have his own game mode in an indie game that you've never heard of and will never be able to guess.

I kind of like this part of the Indie circle jerk. At least games like Yooka-laylee and Shovel knight have a bit of heart in it.
Unlike "rogue-like #307 with one different thing better buy it or the developer will have a melt down on twitter" that people push out whenever they can.

Oh, I get that. Subtle references are usually better than more overt ones, but there's nothing really wrong with overt ones done right.

I do wish BIT.TRIP Runner 2 had picked some different games for that one, though, or at the very least gotten a less awful model of Quote.

I think Indivisible is the only one that is guilty of this. Remember that they're the only ones that revealed their indie cameos DURING FUNDING.

...

Care elaborating? How'd he screw him out of it?

>BIT.TRIP Runner 2

I wish more fucking people than you and me even played that game

I can definitely agree there.

>DMC4

...

Hey guys. can I get a cameo too?

They didn't communicate very well with him, and (among numerous other problems with all of Nicalis's Cave Story ports) they now completely own the rights to everything CS-relate, meaning Pixel can't make another game without their permission.
There's a reason why he went with PLAYISM for Kero Blaster.

>Shulk

>Ike
>Corrin

No, go home.

I don't mind it. It's nice to see small developers supporting each other rather than being cunts to one another like a small handful of them do.

Is Shovel Knight the mascot of kickstarter backed indie games now or something?

>Inb4 the one bitching about Shovel Knight fans is Mighty No. 9

NO

...

BIT.TRIP as a whole is a masterpeice of a series, my man. You have some good taste.

go away Carlos

That's why Plague Knight is so much better.

Thanks Donkey Kong music man

Nigger what?

after the Cloud reveal,there are literally NO LIMITS on who can be in the next Smash entry

...

Holy shit.

To be fair, the Dino Run one is only his helmet.

I'm glad some of his appearances at least go for making him fit in the games aesthetic, it's not exactly the 'subtle reference' approach, but it's better than just putting him straight in the game

The Crypt of the Necrodancer one is also only just his helmet pictured among a group of items.

I like to think that Shovel Knight is the Indie Vidya Mascot, because I believe the vast majority of the indie market is shovelware.

>using t.
Found the real redditor.

VILLAGE BIKE

Indies' Lightning.

Nah man, nobody's forcing Shovel Knight into things, other indies are inviting him in because he's popular.

Same way Quote is in BIT.TRIP Runner2.

Except Shovel Knight is actually cool

Because indie vidya is trash.

Why did everyone decide they were gonna put Shovel Knight in their game, exactly ? What's the rationale ? I mean it sold well but I'm not seeing it having a big influence or presence overall. There are a lot of indie games that made a much more noticeable splash in the pool than it

>yo yo yo aho yo yo ho ayo

Yeah, because a baby blue suit of armor fits perfectly with the dark, gothic setting of Bloodstained.

Not like AAA is better
I'm fine with good indies as long as they're not pretentious shit and the creators are cool

I think he's in as an enemy, so at least there's that.

>Thing is popular
>Putting thing in may be a good idea since people like thing
>Owner of thing said "go ahead."
>Put thing in

So...why is this happening exactly? I mean honestly this affects the game very little but he seems kinda...out of place.

>it's popular
>if we put [popular thing] in our game, then people will pay attention to it
>[popular thing]'s owners don't give a shit since it's free publicity

It was a retro revival kickstarter that did well.

Even though it's not the first of those it's the most visible so of course they keep throwing him in everywhere to show kickstarter can work.

Yeah, if you only look at the bad side, you retard.
That's like saying all vidya is bad because people like Digital Homicide or modern Konami exist.

Yeah man, AAA gaming is the real deal. You excited for new AssCreed or CoD?

Shovelmind.

I know, I just mean at least he's got better proportions and shit, blue armor isn't completely out of the question for this sort of thing, but at least he isn't just a tiny little cartoon character or a terrifying scaled up sprite or something

Because "DUDE, INDIE, LMAO" that's why

what wrong with Shovelknight ?

Devs of YL asked Yacht Club if they could have SK in as a cameo and they said yes. Thats pretty much it.

It's seriously just the axe armor, but with a shovel. It's fine.

>Not like AAA is better
You're right. My main problem with Shovel Knight is that it's nothing new. It's just another retro platformer. It's not impressive at all.

There's always Boss Revenge Mode, with him as the only non-boss that's playable.

What the FUCK does this even mean? This is some schizophrenic levels of insane babble.

You're the only one talking about that site.

Not every game has to do something new. It can also do a bunch of old things really well, which is what Shovel Knight does.

It's a rare Kickstarter success that actually plays like an old game.

It's impressive in its execution. You can tell there was a lot of thought and care put into not just the design but the mechanics itself. The modern games "journalist" couldn't tell you why Shovel Knight is so great, but anyone that's been playing these types of games for years could.

The whole armor and medieval thing fit right there in bloodstained, but to be honest the shovel and color scheme does not.

I mean, i like the design, but lets be honest, castlevania is all about monsters, spirits and goth shit.

And that's a fair opinion to have I've yet to play it myself so I can't really judge
It's just that dismissing all indie games seems a little unfair to me, not all indies are lolretro shit, you just have to know where to look

>it's not impressive at all
>good art
>incredibly solid mechanics
>kaufman on the soundtrack
>free updates that add entire new stories to the game
It's not perfect, but I'd say it's certainly impressive.

>I've yet to play it myself so I can't really judge

Play it man, it's good

Then play the Plague Knight campaign which some people think is even better

321 Penguins was the shit by the way.

:^)
:o)

A lot of things that get popular don't do anything new/special. Overwatch did nothing majorly different from TF2, Angry birds did nothing different from a flash game that preceded it (crush the castle was the name, I think), sequels that are just more of the previous game are bought by the millions...

What's wrong with the shovel? Order of Ecclesia and Lords of Shadow had enemies that fought with one.

plus Castlevania has always had plenty of silly ass enemies, like the skeletons that fight by throwing curry at you or the kung-fu maids

>Every indie dev should be fighting with eachother
No, fuck off

Let's be honest, if Castlevania doesn't care about what monsters and knightly figures they toss into their games, as well as what historical accuracies are also tossed into the timelines of the franchise, why should we care if a Bright Blue Shovel-Wielding Knight is slapping Dracula's shit in?

Because of the spergs in this thread who now aren't going to buy the game because Shovel Knight being in it, in addition to the ones who would be trying to refund it because they found out Shovel Knight is in it.

Saves the hassle.

He isnt even a playable character, he is an enemy. Either a miniboss or a random hallway guy, not clear yet which.

>hey I heard you like indie shit in your indie shit

There's always Boss Revenge mode. And the community could nudge some influence about the character over time. Especially with the extra year of development.

>fantastic indie game
>le undertale meme knight cameo for le reddit lulz xD
just fuck my game up senpai

Fuck, I love Shovel Knight so much, he's so hype. And the fact that he's gonna appear in a game that I've waited for 16 years now just gets me more pumped.

That said I'll never buy another Gunvolt game in my life. The first one put me to sleep.

>undertale meme knight

What the fuck does that even mean. What has SK have to do with undertale or memes?

My autism is kicking in with the horn design.

Whats the noise he makes when he talks?

The shovel knight theme remix in Gunvolt 2 sounds pretty sweet but I agree with you, cant bring myself to get it even with shovel knight in it.

There's also Indivisible

Also fucking nice, got the amiibo of him too, it's just such a good design.

>*clank cunk ckank cunka*

Cameos are fine if they're related to previous titles the developer has released (like Banjo's head on the wall in CBFD) but this is pretty cheap. There's no good reason why he's there. It doesn't bother me as long as it's a secret but poor show Playtonic, you lost points today.

Considering he's straight up in the first world, it's hardly a secret.

What kind of moveset would Frisk even have? Sans, Papyrus, and Undyne could easily be given movesets, but Frisk doesn't really have any special types of attack. All he does is hit monsters with random junk or avoid getting her ass kicked while trying to be diplomatic.

That's not an issue. If he's hidden in the first world then no problem. If he's unavoidable then its shit, simple as.

But I want more than one song remixed over and over in my game.

It hurts because I love SK sprite so damn much in that game.

trashdump.booru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1991

But honestly, is Shovel Knight the only indie mascot with a good game?

Shantae has ONE good game out of 3 while the rest are mediocre. MN9 is bad and Gunvolt is dull.

You goddamm spic I don't pay you to make shitty jokes I pay you to mow my lawn

He was going to be in LISA, but was cut.

Why?

Oh shit this thread is still up?

I actually started looking for the sprites since I remember when LISA first came out everyone was confused as fuck as of why there was sprites of Shovel knight.

Just like the other cameos like Jim Sterling and Mike, The devs of shovel knight got one of the kickstarter goals for LISA, however he never showed up in the final build of the game game

>Shovel Knight's probably the grave digger at the end of his rope from all the bodies he's had to bury

>Hex Heroes
So glad my card didn't let me back that one.
The game was supposed to release april of last year ffs.
Now the Wii U is dead and how are they going to deliver?

You don't see quote being whored out this much.

He's old and busted, and his developer is Japanese.

To be frank he whored himself so much once that he got even more ruined than SK with all these cameos.

user, that's because most people involved with the indie scene know that Nicalis owns Quote now, not Pixel.
Damn shame that Kaeru will never get any cameos in anything, though.

I'd be a lot more okay with Shovel Knight showing up in so many things if his design wasn't terrible.

>Shovel Knight
>terrible design

I'm so fucking sick of all these indie faggots being contained in a single universe

it really is.
he looks like any random knight and the yellow rings all over him looks stupid.
He looks more like a common enemy than the player character.

Don't get me wrong I hate over-designed characters, but it feels like Yacht Club tried too hard to make a simplistic NES era character and went too far in the other direction.
This makes the character look far too bland.

>le single universe theory
Its just a cameo shut up

Don't you mean hoh?

Quote isn't anywhere near as popular as Shovel Knight, unfortunately.

Even though I agree he's deserved that title since 2004.

man... the pre-/mlp/ board days were terrible. you couldn't visit any board without some brony posting a pony pic and all of a sudden the whole thread turned to shit.

Quote at least got a Cameo in BIT.TRIP Runner 2 and in Terraria, as well as a few other small things like Gang Garrison 2.
Kaeru's in the better Studio Pixel game and didn't get shit.

Now it just needs Quote somewhere as well, and all is right.

>Shovel Knight cameos
>Never any cameo with Shovel Knight and the guard from Heiankyo Alien

The original Shovel Knight gets no love.

>Gang Garrison 2
Man that was a nice little thing while it lasted.

Picked up

Wasnt Curly in 1001 spikes?

Shovel Knight was such a bland and boring game and I don't know how the fuck it managed to rise above the massive crop of other bland and boring indie games from that year, let alone having a lasting appeal.


I still remember all that shit PR they tried, telling people how much they loved retro gaming and they wanted to create SNES graphics. They didn't even put the effort in to do that properly. Real love and care went into that game.

cave story was fucking huge, it's just hard to maintain popularity for 12 years

plus there's the language barrier, pixel is a quiet samurai

Yeah, she was.
That's mostly because Nicalis published 1001 Spikes, so they can whore out CS characters to it all they want, though.

I love Shovel Knight, so this doesn't really bother me.

>3D Shantae
>with possible titty jigglies from old games when she dances
Not sure if I'd want that.

Shantae's design doesn't really mesh well with 3D, unless it's stylized.

>They didn't even put the effort in

I agree, this thread is full of low effort trolling

I cannot imagine a scenario with no Shovel Knight in the next Smash.

>Indie icon
>Approachable devs
>Nintendo loves it
>Crossovers & cameos everywhere
>Amiibo

Here's the problem with that.
>multiplat
Otherwise, I could see Nintendo doing it. Bit.Trip was Wiiware exclusive for the longest fucking time and CV got a trophy.

by the time the next Smash releases SK will be replaced with some new indie hotness

>All these newfags saying Carlos when it was clearly Ultros behind this post

I want neo-Cred Forums to fucking leave.

Nintendo dislikes anything Western or Indie being paired with their prized mascots (C. Video got lucky with his then-exclusiveness).

They would likely sooner add a legit anime character before even the biggest Western gaming icon.

I could see him getting a trophy at least. Nintendo actually exclusively published Shovel Knight in Japan for the Wii U and 3DS. So over there it's on a similar level with shit like The Last Story or The Wonderful 101.

It's the most likely reason why Rayman and friends got trophies in Smash 4, because in Japan Rayman Legends was exclusive to the Wii U and published by Nintendo.

*nods respectfully toward you*

God damn was the Rayman rework ever good.

Ul... who?

Fuck off Jake Stacey

o-oh...

Yep.
That's why most of the indie games Nicalis publishes now have CS stuff; They own it.
