[h=1]Shovel Knight is coming to retail!!!!![/quote][/h] that's pretty cool
I am completely willing to buy it again, just for the physical release
Good for these guys. I personally couldn't get into it, but I could appreciate just how great Shovel Knight is and I hope the best for them.
Here's hoping all the copies sell, and aren't just put in a bin with the Shovelware. :v:
Shovel knight is awesome. Played through the 3ds version like 3 times and the PC version twice.
I haven't played the game, but it makes me really happy to see people who are genuinely passionate about video games succeed.
Wow and it's just as cheap as the digital versions as well? Awesome! Ran the American price through google to get the other prices, seems pretty cheap for us Brits, if they aren't going to set it to an arbitrary amount that is. $19.99 £12.72 €17.93

[QUOTE](PC – Europe only)[/QUOTE] Bummer, I haven't played Shovel Knight yet and was hoping to get a boxed copy, now that it's available.
Shovel Knight was really quite a gem. Wouldn't mind re-buying a physical copy, especially with that cool box art.

And for that extra £4 we get some sexy box art and more to add to my gaming shelf (it's looking pretty sparse since I started using my Gamecube controller again).
Never played it, would love to grab the game for 3DS.
awesome, i'll definitely be getting it. i much prefer having a physical copy over digital despite the convenience of the latter.

I still need to get this, but between the PS3, PS4, Wii U, 3DS and PC, I don't know what system to get it for, dammit.
[QUOTE=RikohZX;48093134]I still need to get this, but between the PS3, PS4, Wii U, 3DS and PC, I don't know what system to get it for, dammit.[/QUOTE] Get it for every system, all of the versions are worth it.
Shame the PC version isn't a "big box"
Wait. Are they going to do the old-school colored manual with this? That would be so awesome.
it's pretty amazing and even inspiring just how much this game accomplished.
[QUOTE=Wormy;48093359]Uh why? The platforms doesn't have exclusive content, except for the 3DS and maybe the Wii U, so what's the point of buying multiple versions? [/QUOTE] Actually the Xbone and PS4 versions have their own exclusive boss fights (Battletoads and Kratos from God of War respectively) and armour sets.
