Support NeoGAF

[Aeana]

The trailer gave me a Duck Tales x Mega Man vibe, which was all I needed to see before backing. I didn't hear about it until yesterday, so it's definitely not being talked about as much as it should be.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Wow looks really good! A shame it's only at 50k. Reminds me of the Wizards & Warriors games with some Metal Slug mixed in there. Backed!

2/3 of the goal after 1/3 of the time isn't too shabby though Although I expected a bigger bump from PAX, the way things are going this should hit at least 100k$.

 

[Gintoki]

This is lovely, backed for a 3DS version and will pick it up later for PC.

Let's see if the new thread title gets more attention.

 

[5amshift]

Watched this at PAX East and I absolutely loved it. Looks so incredibly close to an NES title and it played just about the same. Kickstarting right now.

 

[Glass Rebel]

thank you based mods

 

[Zen_Arcade]

I'm definitely pledging at least $15 before this is over to get the Wii U version.

 

[DashReindeer]

No typo in the thread title should do wonders!

 

[vagabondarts]

This looks beautiful. I'm on board and this is the first kickstarter I've ever pledged to.

 

[redcrayon]

It's the first Kickstarter I've ever pledged too as well. I grew up on Duck Tales, Megaman and Castlevania on the NES, this feels tailor-made for me!

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Will definitely be getting this for my 3DS when it's out.

 

[Glass Rebel]

4 color rebellion has a cool interview

Over at the Kickstarter campaign you mention that the game might remind people of Mega Man, Castlevania, or Dark Souls, but to me it seems that Duck Tales with a mix of Zelda II would be a better comparison. Care to elaborate on that?

Sure! We’ve heard comparisons to both Duck Tales and Zelda II from lots of Shovel Knight fans. After all, both of those games have a down-thrust as a major mechanic! While we love those games ( Zelda II is a personal favorite ), we also want to echo the perfect platforming of Mega Man, the deliberate pacing and subweapons of Castlevania, and the epic battles, palpable tension, novel approach to death, and character building from Dark Souls. There are some nods to each of these games, but we are focused on making Shovel Knight a unique experience that stands on its own!

 

[SuomiDude]

Damn, looks really good. One of the many possible games I might get for Wii U once I get the system

 

[Data West]

Anyone know if that SNES inspired Wii U(pro controller u?) classic controller(the third party one) would work with a PC? Seems perfect for this game.

 

[D-e-f-]

I'm so pumped for this game!

Why not just get an adapter for an original SNES controller?

Found a video of the PAX demo, looks fun! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HweLCZSZmbE

This looks fantastic! The health bar is a bit too big or the game is to easy but I guess it's for PAX. Hope we see a new update by the devs in the coming days

 

[abstract alien]

This game IS going to look incredible in 3D.

Yes, it's going to get backed and I'm fully expecting to play this by year's end.

 

[Omegasquash]

Played it at PAX, and it's ballin'. They have my axe.

By which I mean money.

 

[Futureman]

Never backed a kickstarter.... this game looks amazing though. And with Wii U support, I might just do it.

Are you sure you don't mean shovel?

That looks even better than I was expecting. Those poor flying rats lol

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

I hadn't paid attention to this until a few minutes ago but that video completely sold me. It looks amazing!

 

[Dawg]

No PS Vita version?

 

[Sushigod7]

In for $25 looks and sounds great. Would love to go in for the poster but damn $300? Hope they make it.

 

[Javier]

Pledged $15.

Undecided if getting for Wii U or 3DS, though.

 

[ElectricKaibutsu]

I just hope this gets released worldwide.

 

[Glass Rebel]

No PS Vita version?

The title and the Kickstarter are pretty clear, I think?

Shovel Knight is currently announced for (Windows) PC,Wii U and 3DS! After that, the sky's the limit and we want to put Shovel Knight on as many platforms as possible, depending on our time and resources. We all own Vitas, PS3's, and Xboxes, and would love to see Shovel Knight on there too! As soon as we have something to announce, you will be the first to know!!

 

[Lightning Lord]

Game looks like it'll be a blast to play.

Anyone who uses a shovel to beat up enemies has to be a pretty big badass.

 

[artorias the abysswalker]

really want this to eventually come to PS3/vita

look pretty cool...may jump in a donate anyways cause it does look rad.

 

[zroid]

parallax layers always looks amazing in 3D...

but an actual game to play on Wii U...

 

[Iadien]

The DuckTales feel is tempting me.

 

[Yuterald]

Whoa, totally forgot about this game. Gotta back this up because I so want to play this! Ex-Wayforward dudes? I'm in. This game and Two Brothers are getting up there as my most wanted titles, as far as indie-like games go.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

I'm in for the free envelope of dirt

 

[mclem]

Only reason I backed this project:

That looks awesome, and I *think* it's only 8 colours. Incredible.

 

[M3d10n]

Damn, I feel really tempted at backing this up. That video really hit my weak point.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Pledged $15 for a Wii U version.

 

[Roybr]

Will get for 3DS!

 

[BassForever]

They need to include a tier that lets me get both a 3ds and wiiu version. At worst ill have to buy he 3ds version later

 

[Bog]

Yeah... think again.

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

This looks great. I'd back it, but i'd rather wait for it to hit 3DS as this seems ideal for that.

 

[added_time]

If you back it at $15, all you have to do is choose the 3DS version as the one you want.

 

[outunderthestars]

Pledge $30 and then select the $15 reward. Then when they send the pledge surveys ask for a Wii U and a 3DS code.

Would that actually work? Sounds like a plan if I can

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

That sounds like too much money now. It should be $10 across the board. Just seems illogical to pay more for a game on an inferior platform, even if the fit is better.

Fair enough. It seems like a lock to be funded runways so I'm sure you will have the chance to buy it upon release!

 

[AwShucks]

Getting closer and closer. PAX probably helped a bit so I hope the pace doesn't start to die down. I'd hate for this to be one of those projects that gets withing a couple thousand of the goal but doesn't quite get there.

C'mon all you Duck Tales HD fans, pitch in!

 

[Glass Rebel]

They have to pay Nintendo's cut in advance for codes compared to Steam for example which gives them out for free. That's the reason it's 15$ and not 10$.

 

[Gummb]

Omg, it looks glorious!

 

[GhostSeed]

Just pledged $100 for the dirt, lol. I really hope this gets funded.
