Wow. Uhm. Gee.
That's VERY surprising. I didn't expect this game to go above 75 for most reviewers.. I don't really know what to say.



Yeah, it looks awesome. There's one stage that I caught a brief glimpse of (don't want to spoil myself too much) that really blew me away (I believe it was a water stage).

I've been on a bit of a Mega Man kick lately, so I may pick this up for my 3DS so sate that hunger :D As much as I want to see all of its 8-bit glory on the big screen, I don't know if I can wait until I get a Wii U

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’

Oh geez, GS gave it a lower score than the others... Is this what GS does? It seems that it has happened way too much. Anyway, can't wait to get Shovel Knight!!



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.
