Shovel Knight on Kickstarter

A Megaman and NES tribute game.

Yacht Club Games - a new company with close ties to WayForward, has kickstarted their first game (and it's already funded!).

The team includes Manami Matsumae (the original composer of Mega Man!!) and virt, of VGMix fame!

Pixel art streams are airing on Youtube and TwitchTV, too, for anyone who wants to watch Woz's technique. =)

I present my vote YES on steam greenlight (Y). Thanks for this game.

I'm so glad this is getting so much attention. It looks really, REALLY fun. It's great to see all the big name gamer Youtubers showing interest in this, and even going as far as saying it's one of the most worthwhile kickstarters to date, because I personally think it deserves it.

A great homage to all the 8-bit classics and just a great looking game in general. I'm definitely buying this when it's released. Though, I've yet to decide whether I want it one my Wii U or my 3DS.

Game Grumps did a thing.

Glad you guys are excited!

Also, yes, Jake is doing the music but we just announced a collaboration with Manami Mastumae, She's the ORIGINAL Mega Man composer!!! She's a living legend!

I love the concept of using a shovel and will definitely be keeping my eye on this one.

Has Jake Kaufman doing music? Should sound great then. Double Dragon Neon was one of my absolute fave games of last year and part of that was the excellent soundtrack. It's been ages since I've heard any music in a game I enjoyed playing along to so much I find myself whistling while I walk down the street or copying over to my phone for long bus rides. And yes I sing along to the Skullmageddon ending song every time. I actually got the game free as a PlayStation Plus subscriber but I did donate some money to download the soundtrack. Anyways this game looks decent though I'd have to wait for a PS3/Vita release (hopefully crossbuy/crossplay)
