Shovel Knight
Yet another awesome platformer with NES-styled music, graphics and gameplay:

Holy carp that's a must-buy. I mean your weapon is actually a bleeping shovel, that's just hilarious.
Look like it shares some gameplay elements with both Ducktales and Zelda 2. |

I've just posted in "What game are you playing" thread. Hadn't noticed this topic until now. Yep, great game that oozes 8-bit nostalgic awesomeness. Seem to be quite a few of these popping up. What's more - my kids like it too! Gives them a break from super hi-res graphics & octa surround sound games that require you to have Twister experience to play games with 30+ button combinations. Then again, my kids put me to shame with aforementioned; takes me ages to pick up and master xbox360 controls these days heh heh.

If they love Shovel Knight, see if they also like Fez. Get them using those brains a little.

It does look fantastic. I'm just waiting for the price to come down a little then I'll buy it.
Here's another Steam 8-bit platformer that I saw AVGN play a few episodes back. http://store.steampowered.com/app/237740 |

James also told that they put every irritating bit of gameplay in that one game :-)
