The next new Shovel Knight game we’re going to look at is a multiplayer fighting side-game. It features characters and locations from the game and Smash Bros. style gameplay. It comes with Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove on the Switch, which we looked at last time, but it’s also a game you can download separately on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.
Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove (Switch, PS4, Xbox One, PC)

Yacht Club Games really made a name for themselves with Shovel Knight, one of the most successful indie games ever. It’s an 8-bit styled 2D action platformer starring a knight with an unusual weapon: a shovel! But it proves to be an effective way to defeat enemies, dig up treasure, and pogo bounce over obstacles. The game takes the best of the most memorable 8-bit classics, like Mega Man, Castlevania, DuckTales, and Super Mario Bros. 3. Shovel Knight has even appeared in other games, like an assist trophy in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate or even a playable fighter in Blade Strangers. To celebrate Shovel Knight’s success, this week is going to be Shovel Knight Week here at GamerDad.com! I’ve got three articles and reviews based on recent Shovel Knight releases! First up is Shovel Knight Treasure Trove, which takes all the DLC and side games from the Shovel Knight franchise and puts them all into one game! It’s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.
Cary is Looking Forward in 2020

At the beginning of every year I like to write a blog about the games I’m looking forward to in that coming year, so here we are again with games I’m looking forward to in 2020! Now keep in mind that these aren’t ALL the games I’m looking forward to. More will be announced at E3 and such I’m sure as the year goes on. And there are some games that I’m looking forward to that have been announced, but I’m not sure they’ll really come out in 2020, like Breath of the Wild 2 and Metroid Prime 4. But you never know. But here are a list of 2020 games that I’m PRETTY sure are coming this year and I’m looking forward to them.
Tools Up! (PS4, Switch, Xbox One, PC)

Tools Up! is a co-op couch multiplayer game where you must use teamwork to perform home renovations. Paint walls, carpet floors, and clean up before the strict time limit expires. It’s kind of like Overcooked, except with construction instead of cooking. It’s available to download on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here. Speaking of the review, I’ve got a treat for you today. The folks who played this game for this review all have experience with home renovation. First, there’s me. While I write game reviews on the side, my full time job is working as a sales associate at a major hardware store chain. I don’t do any D.I.Y. projects myself, but I certainly know my way around a hardware store. But my Player Two for this review was my stepfather Jamie, who used to do home renovation projects before he started driving a truck again. So with our combined experience, we should be able to ace this game, right? Well, you’ll just have to find out by reading this review!
