I think the Souls titles have more in common with roguelikes than NES games...

Shovel Knight looks like Mega Man to me.


The different boss types is probably the only real similarity with Mega Man (on a macro level, they are both 2d platformers)

The actual gameplay is DuckTalesvania

How many average gamers even know what a roguelike is?

I've seen screenshots of actual towns and people to talk to so there's some Zelda II in there too for sure.

Launch trailer!

This comes out today. I checked the 3DS eshop and it isn't available to purchase yet.

I'm still waiting on a sale though. :p

I wish I had your strength. I heard that it released yesterday to backers and I've been hearing nothing but awesome stuff about it.

I am getting mine on the Wii U, but I suppose 3DS would be a good platform as well.

Going for 3DS myself, wish there was cross-buy, but whatever.
