Hey Microsoft, you might want to get on that remake, stat. He ended up asking everyone in the family if they had ever played Battletoads and how he could play. My 9 year old nephew, who’s never heard of the Battletoads before, thought they were so cool and wanted to play this section.

Took a few retries to learn the patterns but it was an overall a blast. Just like other levels in Shovel Knight and true to the Battletoads legacy, this section is tough. Once you find it though, you’re in for a treat as the game recreates the second and third levels from the Battletoads game in Shovel Knight style. I won’t tell you how to get there, but without the internet showing you this two part secret, there’s a high probability you’d miss it. On the Xbox One, Yacht Club included, get this, a Battletoads fight. Scott nailed the review on the head with his so I won’t sit here and re-iterate everything he said, I will go over what’s to be expected on the console releases though. Everything here is in tact and looks/feels just as good as its previous releases.

Nearly a year after its release ( and review from our very own Scott Ellison II), the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One have received their taste of the shovel wielding cerulean knight. Invoking the style of the 2nd and 3rd generation of consoles (NES, SNES, Genesis), Shovel Knight brings you to the simpler yet harder days of gaming where levels were hard and graphics blocky. Yacht Club games nailed it with Shovel Knight. You may be looking at the screen shots of this game thinking “Not another indie game using 8-bit art” but dismissing it like that is just hurting yourself.
