Shovel Knight is the ultimate NES game. It encapsulates everything that there is to love about the NES while cutting away all of the frustration of games from that era. There\u2019s no question that games age better in our memories than in reality. To get a sense of this, just play an NES game for an hour. All but the greatest games from that era have aged significantly, in a bad way. Shovel Knight, on the other hand, is like the NES game that exists in your memory. It\u2019s a concentrated dose of the 8-bit magic, more like the wonder that your imagination conjures up than like actual NES games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
