Shovel Knight raised a mighty pixelated fist to the sky when it came to Nintendo Wii U, 3DS and PC in 2014. Yacht Club Games created a marvelously assured debut, giving the little blue warrior and his righteous spade an adventure that felt classical in the tradition of Mega Man and Castlevania while also smartly modern. Wandering intricately detailed stages full of enemies and pits to jump over recalled the NES’ best but never felt cloying, never retro for retro’s sake. Now Shovel Knight’s made the leap to PlayStation 4, PS4, and PS Vita so we’re checking back in with the game on today’s stream with Yacht Club Games.
We’ll be streaming a piping hot plate of Shovel Knight on PS4 starting at 3:30PM ET right here in this post, at the top of Engadget.com/gaming and over on Twitch.tv/Joystiq. Come hang out with us and ask questions of the Yacht Club Games crew as they talk about how Shovel Knight’s changed since it first came out.
