In an interview, Sean Velasco, one of the developers at Yacht Club, stated that he wanted shovel knight to be just as big and dense in the media as Mario was in the 80's, with the unnecessary merchandising of everything, figurines (which we got as amiibo), in games across the board and even a cereal and fruit snacks. To see how densely dispersed shovel knight is shows his popularity among fans and kind of led to the 'joke goal' that Sean wanted lol
Shovel Knight has been out for years why is it so special now? Why is he getting so many cameos and crossovers? It's fucking badass but why the fuck is he suddenly everywhere.
Seriously though, i haven’t played shovel knight so it’s low-key irritating seeing him in so many places. You ain’t gonna catch me paying £18.99 on steam for this guy.
Jomana. Habashneh it’s not that I hate him. It’s literally the fact I see him everywhere and I’m not keen on paying so much for retro games. Games like Cave story are good and affordable
The game has 3 playable characters and 1 more campaign is coming... The game has more modes and in game mechanics than any modern AAA games, and it has a better game design than compared to some high budget games... You're missing a Masterpiece.
SquiKun well I would be fine just buying the base game but they feel the need to sell it all together. Thing with almost most games is that they don’t force you to pay for additional content if it’s unrelated to the main game. The mechanics are a mix of old-style mega-man/Metroidvania with all the weapons to use and no backtracking, it’s every retro-game ever without the system limitations and all the tedious design choices. The only level design it can compare to accurately are mega-man X like side-scrollers. I don’t know too many triple AAA mega-man like games being made today. We’re essentially having to compare genres and games with different mechanics, tones and gameplay to this game that harbours back to a specific kind of nostalgia, I like when games use nostalgia best when they still retain some level of the modern times in it, otherwise it feels like it’s getting swept away and lost in time. I’m sure it’s a quality game, but I personally don’t think the price at the current time justifies a purchase. If they were selling the base game on their own then I wouldn’t have this issue
Good Lord he's everywhere and I couldn't be happier for him
It’s not an indie game if Shovel Knight isn’t in it.
You missed rivals of Aether
And Brawlhalla.
Fix-It Felix Jr.: Shovel Knight's gone turbo?!
So many cameos for a guy with one game and two dlc campaigns (and an upcoming third one) in his own series :O
Shovel Night Shyamalan

Well, since the creators are not a greedy triple A company they are probably way more willing to lend their IP.
Baggelis sonic yeah but they're handing it out like candy on Halloween
They’re probably getting paid for it though
I thought only I noticed this
Shovel Knight has been out for years why is it so special now?
Why is he getting so many cameos and crossovers?
It's fucking badass but why the fuck is he suddenly everywhere.
Wth... I knew he was in a few of these, but... Jeez, that's a lot of cameos! That's what Shovel Knight is now! A cameo!
That's a lot of Shovels
plenty of new appearances for a part 2.
Bow to your god, shovel knight
and rivals of aether
Oh no, shovel knight became turbo
Shovel Knight
when's the plague knight everywhere system
People said the same thing about Cave Story, Vvvvvv, and Commander Runner in the past. Not surprised really.
true.
what's that animated thing from? and the motorcycle thing?
Can someone please tell me the name of the game at 0:53?
The game is Ghost Police.
Real Renaissance Man Thank you!
maybe a bit oversaturated
Is this real?
That depends on what you mean by real. All of the clips are from official appearances of Shovel Knight if that's what you're asking.

Jiggly Buff you are 100% a modern gamer, other than that there is no way a classic gamer would hate shovel knight too much.

It's really getting out of hand an annoying
Giany Rivera glad I’m not the only one who feels like this
