Also of note, we have still not released the game in Asian territories. The Amazon Fire TV also released in September of 2015 – which is rather late when compared to everything else and a tall order to catch up to. Although Amazon Fire TV does not have enough sales to appear on the graph, it’s a bit tricky to measure because Shovel Knight was packed in with 50,000 consoles, and those sales are not accounted for in the graph. Keeping our game at full price has been a major part of our strategy as we believe players will be more invested in the game and therefore hopefully, enjoy it more if it isn’t bought at a bargain bin price. Every platform except Sony’s systems have gone on sale during some major holidays, but none of them have ever been sold for more than a 33% discount. The Nintendo Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, and Sony PS4 are also naturally higher in sales as they received full retail releases in October 2015. Our Sony and Microsoft versions did not come out until April 2015, 9 months after our initial release on PC and Nintendo systems.
Curious to see the outcome? Well, come back here at 4 PM Pacific/7 PM Eastern and watch as I hit everything with a shovel and try not to die whilst doing so.Before you save the graph above for your next platform vs platform discussion, there’s a few key items that are worth keeping in mind: Shovel Knight takes the best parts of classics like Mega Man, Castlevania, Legend of Zelda and a handful of others, tosses them in a blender and adds a few modern conveniences. Depending on how you spend your gaming time, though, you might have to dust off your Wii U before giving this retro platformer a spin. The latest from developer Yacht Club Games is a trip back to the 8-bit days of yore, and it aims to scratch that nostalgic itch without requiring you to dig the Nintendo Entertainment System out of your closet. Seems pretty simple, right? Well, that's kind of the point.
In Shovel Knight, you're a knight with a shovel.
The one where you get to watch, and comment, as other people livestream gameplay from next-gen consoles. Welcome, ladygeeks and gentlenerds, to the new era of gaming.
