Sticking up for the Nintendo/PC fans who liked it. It's called empathy.

Plus Link or Samus in the game would make it automatically better.

Because they're Nintendo characters...  It's not that the game would be better with them. It's because it's those characters. Nintendo characters. And those make a game good to you because they're Nintendo characters. Not because the game has merit. Remove them, put other characters just as cool, or even cooler and more original, and nope... It's not a Nintendo character, so they don't have as much merit and don't make the game better.

I see. This attitude falls in line with what you think of reviewers.

Whole lot of projecture going on here. I never said the game was bad, I said it was unremarkable and did nothing new. This game copies pretty much every element from 8-bit classics and puts it in one game (mega man, Zelda II, Super Mario Bros., Ducktales, etc.).

So yeah, an actual cameo from one of those 8-bit classics would greatly enhance the game. I love easter eggs, secrets, references and cameos in games.

You don't seem to understand what Shovel Knight is about. Maybe you haven't played it (and that would make this conversation pointless) or maybe it flew right over your head...

It would be an understatement to say that the game is the way it is because of Nintendo and other companies during the 8-bit era.
