More importantly, this means the amiibo 3-pack I ordered in 2017 is finally being delivered. :)

I agree with this order I think

I bounced off Plague the first time I played it as well. I only tried to again in preparation for Specter

I'm guttered this won't be ready for Wii U tomorrow in the EU

I got the physical version on Wii U back in 2015 so it's the version I want to play. I will pick the game up on PS3/4/Vita when it goes on a decent sale though

Can't wait, as a backer it feels so weird to think the game is finally finished! It's been so long!

Now i really want to see their future game and what they can accomplish!

Remember the Mega Man/Uncle Scrooge-inspired character you loved playing as? Here's 5 years worth of indistinguishable updates that don't contain him.

Can please help me out here??

I bought Shovel Knight for 3DS many years ago.

Whenever a new campaign would come out, I got it for free, both spectre of torments and the other one I can't remember the name off.

Is this still free????? I googled but no answer.

It is, but I believe they will come at a later date in your region

I still can't believe what Shovel Knight evolved into. Paying for one game and receiving five games.
It is in my top ten games ever list already and now I have two more full games to dive into. I reallycan't believe it.
Been waiting a long time to play these ❤️

Been looking forward to this, perfect timing for the holidays. It was around this time 2 years ago that I played through the rest of the Shovel Knight campaigns, the first indie game I played on Switch. Sooooo good!

May put aside the finishing touches of my Hollow Knight playthrough to try this. It's been a long time since I've played some Shovel Knight.

Man, I need to actually play the base game / treasure trove. I got upgraded to Treasure Trove awhile ago and the pile of new games just never stops. I think the hype around this new release will finally get me to go through all of the first game.

Could someone say in spoiler tags how many regular levels (not counting bonus levels, villages and so) does this campaign have?

My Xbox One version just updated. Let's do this!
Dang, just checked Switch and PS4 and neither has it yet. Have fun!

EDIT: Actually just remembered that Nintendo has an Indie Direct starting in 20 minutes, so maybe it's scheduled to go up around then so they can say "Available now!" during the Direct?

My amiibo just showed up and they're wonderful. Love this franchise so much.

Can't wait to play the expansion tonight.

Been playing for a bit more than one hour on Switch, and it's fantastic I love it!
I suck at Joustus though but I defeated the Black Knight after several attempt, I saw some cheat to buy but didn't get one so far.

I have a really poor handle on Joustus, I guess I'm no good at card games. It's too bad you lose cards when you actually lose, doesn't make me want to play this minigame much. In general I wish they had deleted the soulslike aspect of losing shit when you die. Otherwise I'm enjoying it so far, it really feels like a different game.

Yeah, losing cards is the last thing anyone needs to take from Triple Triad.

Other than that though, its fantastic. Hope to 100% it.

I live for card battle minigames.

Yeah +1 here for wondering if the card game is completely optional or not.

I've tried a few games of Joustus and can't get my head around it yet, but between losing cards for losing matches, and the implied descriptions of battling some bosses by card games makes me wary if this optional or mandatory at certain points.

I played Shovel Knight when it first came out and I thought it was pretty mediocre. Never bothered with the DLC, but I've heard several people say the DLC campaigns outclass the original, so maybe I should revisit the game.

Yeah I think I might steer clear of Joustus where possible. It's fun when you get the hang of it but I'm losing too many good cards to Black Knight and I just can't really get a handle on it.
