Part of the reason is the lack of time, and the fact that many games take forever to beat (if they ever even have a real story) and feel too similar. I find myself being drawn more to retro-style games nowadays, and less into the really long and huge 3d worlds of most modern games. This gem had slipped under my radar and ended up being one of my favorite games in years. The physical copy will cost $20 and will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, Wii U, and 3DS.Wish there were more compelling throwbacks like this! The physical version of Shovel Knight will be coming to North America on October 13th and Europe on October 16th. The retailer confirms prior reports suggesting an official Shovel Knight amiibo is indeed in the works. In related news, GAME took to Twitter to announce a new Shovel Knight amiibo, but their tweet was quickly taken down. Perhaps this weekend at PAX Prime we will see both announcements being made. Yacht Club Games is also very close to announcing their new expansion for Shovel knight which is called Plague of Shadows.

Liam also states that Shovel Knight will be a fully new playable character, not just a skin of the character. Liam has proven many times before stating that his rumors always have a legitimate source.

Liam (Tamaki), also know as Doctor_Cupcakes on Twitter, has multiple sources confirming that this rumor is true, both of which are involved in retail and the video games industry. In a recent discussion over at SourceGaming between Liam (Tamaki) and Neo Zero (an admin on SmashBoards), have both found reasons to believe that Shovel Knight will be making his way over to Smash Bros.
