![]() Some amiibo functionality is still in for Treasure Trove, however you now receive an adorable shovel fairy, from an equal adorable new character named Madame Meeber. In addition to swapping folks' genders around, Yacht Club Games has seen fit to remove the restriction requiring one to own the Shovel Knight amiibo to play co-op. Treasure Trove also adds a few new tricks, such as the ability to gender swap any of the game's main characters, making for a somewhat different narrative, though not in any material way. Each of them have a well-written backstory and unique platforming capabilities, each replete with their own challenges. The two expansions included in Treasure Trove follow the stories of two of the series' villains: Plague Knight and Specter Knight. The series is an homage to the 8-bit action platformers of yesteryear, with gorgeous pixel graphics that look like they would be right at home on an NES in reality, of course, the visuals are well beyond what the original hardware could achieve, but the nostalgia is present and correct. ![]() Shovel Knight originally released in 2014 on a multitude of systems after an enormously successful Kickstarter campaign. If you've never played any of the Shovel Knight series before, we'll briefly break down what to expect. The Switch version of Treasure Trove includes the latest Shovel Knight adventure, the Plague of Shadows add-on and Specter of Torment, which we awarded a nine out of ten. ![]() Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove is the newest version of Shovel Knight, and the good news is all existing owners of the original get Treasure Trove as a free update. We at Nintendo Life universally love the game and its two expansions, Plague of Shadows and Specter of Torment, so when a collection of the three in one download on the Switch was announced, we were quite excited. There isn't much one can say about Shovel Knight that hasn't already been said.
