Plague of Shadows DLC/expansion completed, tough final boss aside it was an otherwise highly enjoyable (and free) add-on to one of my favourite platformers of the last few years.

Yeah, to be fair it was on offer when I bought the Sony version and as it was two formats in one seemed ok to re-purchase. There was some new content too like new armour for Shovel Knight and an exclusive extra boss in the form of Kratos from the Gôd of War games.

I did the same thing with Binding of Isaac too come to think of it but in reverse, already had it on PS4/Vita but got it on 3DS as I believe there is some Nintendo specific content and as it's one of the few New 3DS exclusives wanted to make the most of the upgrade.

I think that you if you purchased it because of the offer it's good.New content is mostly always welcome.Yes, I read about exclusive bosses on the other versions of the game.Xbox has Battletoads.

I'm genuinely surprised there wasn't some kind of Nintendo cameo in the WiiU/3DS version in the same vein as the Sony and MS versions, someone from LoZ or Fire Emblem would've fitted nicely. Maybe they'll do it in one of the future DLC's.

I'm not sure if Nintendo put references in Indie games, but as you said, we'll maybe see in future DLCs.

I think there's been one or two but nothing official, unofficial reference wise I've seen a few like a Metroid one in Guacamelee or LoZ in Binding of Isaac and Adventure Time: Hey Ice King Why'd You Steal Our Garbage. Fingers crossed for the DLC's.

You managed to see some references?Awesome buddy!As for the DLCs, I see.
David David.V.NNID

Yeah, Guacamelee had Choozo State's that were an obvious nod to Metroid and a guy trapped in a house that said "I am error" just like the one in Zelda 2 AoL, Binding of Isaac had a NES cartridge that looked like Mario Bros that let you jump, an "I am error" reference as well and 2D underground bits like Links Awakening and Adventure Time: HIKWYSOG had an "It's dangerous to go alone" LoZ reference.

Cool!I usually don't try to find references in general in the games I play, but it's great that you do it!Well done my friend ^^!

I think it's cool when developers put little easter eggs and references in their games, the recent Zelda games have been good for that. In fact I was going to make a post for the ones in Triforce Heroes similar to what I did for Majora's Mask 3D trying to find them all. So, did you decide on whether to get Shovel Knight in the end mate?

Yes, it's totally great when the developers put easter eggs and references in their games, but it's hard to find them sometimes/most times.Yeah, I think it would be cool if you make a post about the easter eggs in Tri Force Heroes.No, I didn't decide to buy the game yet, but chances are, I might get it in the future.Still, I don't know.

Hello David!What's up bro?My sis preordered Shovel Knight for me!So excited to play it ^^!

Nice one, is that the physical copy? I'm sure you'll like it, and now there's multiple characters if you don't like one style there's a whole other game to play! Let me know how you get on, especially if you try the challenges. Not had a go at those yet.
PAOMario mariomegaman13
01/24/2016 4:53 AM
Yes, it's the physical copy.I think that I won't like Plague Knight's style, but I'll do what I can to finish his campaign.I'll tackle the regular challenges, not the boss ones.What do you mean by saying to tell you how I get on?

Also, did you manage to beat the wandering travellers and the optional bosses too?And as for saving, do I need to go to a town and then to the map in order for the game to save?

The Plague Knight campaign is slower paced but it's more customisable, you might find a set up you like. I actually enjoyed parts of it more than the main game. Yep, beat the travellers/bonus bosses. They're fun, quite a quirky set of characters! It autosaves on the world map, no need for menus etc

Thanks for the update bro.Much appreciated ^^.And what if you lose in a battle against a traveller/bonus boss?Can you fight him again or not?
David David.V.NNID
01/25/2016 12:58 PM
Yeah, they wouldn't be so mean as to make them a one time deal! Can try again if you lose, they might shuffle around the map a little like SMB3 but otherwise same fight. The only thing is like with the normal levels you'll have lost a little gold but can retrieve it provided you don't die again before doing so.
