Their programmers don't have experience with network coding, so it's planned to be local-only.

This game makes me so angry.
But it's so fun.
I'm so conflicted.

Are they? I actually have no idea. Not that gold is even a problem in this game.

Question about Mr. Hat:
I thought Specter was really easy. You just sit on one of the platforms, and swipe when he gets close. When he throws the scythe, jump down and then back up when it passes the top. If he teleports to the opposite corner, you can even get two pogos in. When he quick slashes, just jump over it and pogo.
Has anyone found him after he was in the air ship / on the sign?

He's on top of the airship, and then when you talk to him he catapults off somewhere. I don't know if he can be found again somewhere else, but he's no longer in the armor outpost.
That was a dumb little sequence. The spikes have weird collision at that part too which makes it more annoying.
Thanks for the heads up. I really want to play this but for now I can't rely on my computer and I'm scared shitless of the e shop so I guess I'll play the waiting game.

I'm amazed this game doesn't have Scanline filters. Wii U version, absolutely loving it so far. About halfway through, fighting through this ice level.
EDIT:
Are you in US or EU? If US, just... make sure you link to a Club Nintendo, and don't go formatting crap willy nilly. It's a ten dollar game anyway. No need to be scared shitless of it. If you're worried, don't invest too heavily, but don't avoid it like the plague.

Well I got passed it anyway. Ugh. I always hated that kind of level design.
I actually usually like those sorts of mechanics, but getting to the second safe spot is just annoying.
God
Fucking
Damn it
Fucking
Charge slash
I destroyed that exact same checkpoint accidentally too, but in my case it was because I was standing there waiting for that fucker on the right to get to me, then I jumped and slashed away at him! Lol.

Even formatting isn't that dangerous. My kid did that on my 3DS. As long as you set it back up with the same NNID, you get all your games back. It's the saves that are lost. Even if you had backups. Formatting changes the encryption on the system so that your old saves won't ever work again.

Mapping items to the right bumper is so much more responsive. I have to wonder why it isn't like that by default.

Anyone else having this problem? Too busy partying to fight... or get hit...

Yeah, it's a glitch that happens if you do a downstab for the last hit on the boss.

Lllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmeeeee.
I always finish them off with a downstab.
Anyway to revert it, or am I stuck doing the whole level again?
It happened to me 2 consecutive times. You have to restart. They acknowledged it in the last kickstarter update so it should be patched soon.
I had to do the whole level over again. You would think that someone would have caught that glitch when playtesting! I too used the downstab a lot for enemies/bosses.
For the dual crushers segment when your in the little spike alcove, as the bottom one rises you have to get out of the alcove then jump up to the above platform and rum to the safe zone. Simply letting the bottom one raise you doesn't give you enough time.
Polar Knight is a fucking pain in the ass as his very effective zoning leaves you with few options to dodge the spread.
It's not a secret, his hurled snowballs are ridiculously hard to dodge and his charge is fast. I find him and Propeller Knight to be the toughest.
Specter Knight is free.
It's done with an NES in mind. With only A, B and the d-pad to work with, you're forced to get creative.

So what are the chances that there's a hidden glutes meter that raises as you do more squats ultimately giving you additional pixels of jump height?
Or did they just put a subtle ducking animation in there to make people like me happy?

Game is pretty easy once you get a couple of health bars, I think shouldve kept at around four.
Propeller Knight + anchors = free. If you can get a good series of down strikes on him, you can mash him to death while he's calling the air strikes.

Beat it. Loved it. Right behind Tropical Freeze for my GOTY.
Ending Spoilers:
Brilliant pacing, god-tier music, perfected art-style, refined gameplay, fulfilling story and world.
I would buy a SNES-era sequel at a high price. Or any sequel at a high price.
Congratulations Yacht Club Games, you've just secured your place in eternal video game history
Ending Spoilers:
Until canonically stated otherwise, I'm totally interpreting the post credits scene as another dream sequence because Shield Knight is actually dead AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME!

I thought it was so you can dance while you wait for moving platforms and enemies.
holy crap, i totally forgot about all these damn extras in the game. I guess I backed around the 100,000+ mark because I love NG+ in my games.
I think that they didn't want to include actual ducking as a way to avoid things, but didn't want the attempt to go completely unnoticed. I just considered it as a humorous little add-in.
The final batch of three knights is out of the way for me, so only the Tower of Fate is left!

I figured they added it as a reference to teabagging as seen in Halo.
I realized I was hitting it and stopped so I didn't break it. Then when I died and came back to the check point I broke it. My butt was clenched getting through the rest of the stage haha.
I hate that blue statue thing that shoots out the rainbows so fucking bad.

The game's been out for 4 days and there's already remixes out there:

Ask, and ye shall receive! (a bit late, and admittedly a bit different - I hesitated for a more battle worn look, but in the end, went for this)

(I can't seem to put a spoiler barrier on the image? If anyone can tell me how, I'd very much appreciate it... and in the meantime, link only, just in case!)
Finished the game earlier today, clearly a GOTY contender for me. Went 4:30h something, 67 deaths and 83% completion. Started new game+ right after, and playing through the first level again makes you appreciate just how high the difficulty went in the end levels compared to the beginning, while still feeling like a constant fluid progression throughout the game. Awesome job!

Q: Tell me all the cool secrets so I don't have to find them myself!
YCG: We added a ton of secrets and to tell you all of them would take all day! Besides the enormous amount of in-game secret areas, collectable items, and sub-weapons, the team also implemented 300+ additional secret codes that unlock very different, crazy things from cool abilities to Shovel Knight being 4 times his normal size! These were mainly done as a fulfillment of one our Kickstarter rewards: the "Gimme the Dirt" tier.
The pledgers who backed this tier will be rewarded with a letter from the team, a sample of dirt from one of the locations in the game and a secret that only they know! Those secret codes are going to be theirs to do with as they see fit, and we are really excited to see what happens to them. Will they be out online within a week? Or will somebody take their precious secret to the grave? We'll have to wait and find out!

Anybody keeping track of the codes that have been posted to the net?
These are the only 2 I know that have been shared on the net so far

Game is hard. Can't beat the levels for mole Knight or treasure Knight.
How do you get new abilities?

Speaking of spikes,
as the crusher comes up from the alcove with the spikes on the side, try jumping to the narrow passage to get enough time to cross to the other side and reach the safe area before the floor suishes you from bellow
