If you are a fan of Shovel Knight you will be pleased to learn that the fearless knight will be appearing in the promising Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night. We don’t know too much at present, other than he will make an appearance of some kind. Here’s what the Bloodstained team said via Kickstarter.
Remember Natsume’s Shovel Knight fanart from earlier in the campaign? It’s been about a decade, in Kickstarter years, so I’ll refresh your memory (see above).
We’ve got good news: Inti Creates and Yacht Club Games have agreed that Natsume’s reimagining of their hero feels right at home in the demon castle!
They won’t tell us any more than that, but when the game comes out remember that you might bump into this guy in a crowded corridor somewhere. Who knows what might happen after that?
Thanks, MasterPikachu6
Cool! I’m a Bloodstained backer and I’m getting the physical Wii U version of the game. I will be enjoying Shovel Knight’s appearance that’s for sure.
Yah and enjoy with no voice chat feature
Yeah, if there’s one thing we associate with Igavania games, it’s… voice chat.
Please stop… Just stop calling this genre igavania… He didnt invented it… He just copied a formula created by METROID for the nes and Castlevania II: simon’s quest (a castlevania game in which he DIDNT colaborate) yes, he added a few details to an stablished formula but those changes arent enough to justify naming this genre after him… It would be like callin 2d platforms Shiguerios (shigeru miyamoto + mario bros.) just because he add a couple of improves to an stablished formula.
So please stop giving this man that credit that que doesnt deserve… Its a metroidvania game or a side-scrolling action adventure but it would NEVER BE an igavania game.
Hey is the $60 digital part of the Wii U? Want to support it? Don’t get paid till midnight.
It is indeed available for Wii U. The Wii U was added as a stretch goal, so it wasn’t included in the rewards and couldn’t be edited in.
This was to keep the stretch goals a secret “just in case” some could not be reached. Of course, this ended up not being a problem and pretty much every stretch goal has been obliterated. All you really need to know is that there is a physical release of the game coming to Wii U and if you back the kickstarter you get exclusive content as well.
Only thing the Wii U is missing is the special edition bundle (which is only coming to Xbox One and PS4) and it also is signed by Igarashi himself… I really wish that version was coming to Wii U. I would LOVE to get the official signature of the creator of Castlevania on my Wii U copy of the game. That would be incredibly awesome.
And don’t forget no voice chat with the wii u version
I don´t need voice chat personally because when I´m playing multiplayer, I play locally. But I really like that Armature is developing the Wii U Port, thats going to be awesome! Especially how they involve the Gamepad into this :-)
Shovel Knight’s doing cameos in almost as many games as Commander Video now!
Hey, bet his next appearance will be in Smash Bros as it’s first Indi smasher
Shovel Knight didn’t even come out in Japan, dipshit. That’s the equivalent of Sakurai putting Captain Rainbow in the game.
Think logically here.
I want Captain Rainbow though….
he put marth in
Marth has been in Fire Emblem games released in the U.S.
My guess is….
Third character?
Great. Now when the hell is the physical version of Shovel Knight for 3DS finally getting a release date?!
The Physical Version was only a mockup. I was shocked when I saw that. :/
Shovel Knight is low quality indie game sucky game
Okumei you DickFace why did you have to call dude “dipshit” when he said nothing offensive to you Bitch?
Shovel Knight is one of my favorite gaming characters since I played the original Zelda. This is amazing news.
Shovel Knight is a crappy indie game who give a shit hoe?
Nice. Hope this makes it to Wii U.
Fuck the Wii u and u 2

great :3 Shovel Knight is frickin’ awesome, I hope there’s a Shovel Blade weapon to vanquish evil.
Just when you were worried that the indie industry was finally going to overcome it’s “circle jerk” status, you get this fantastic piece of news. /S/
