Australia has not seen the release of Shovel Knight on the Nintendo eShop as of writing this post, and it is currently the 30th June. 14.202.44.49 ( talk) 11:27, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
Oh God, this thing is so huge and so undue. I'm thinking about removing it entirely and basically sum it up as the plot of Plague of Shadows doesn't show any notability other than "Plague Knight needs to fight all other knights in order to collect ingredients for his powerful potion." I haven't finished the game yet and would prefer not to read the section, for spoiler reasons, but it doesn't include any sources and I haven't seen the story being discussed in detail anywhere yet. It seems to be entirely original research, shall I remove it? ~ Mable ( chat) 09:13, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
@ ThomasO1989:, according to this recent Polygon article], it seems to me the digital version still exists on XBox One? "A digital version remains available for Xbox One fans." Even if the game was removed from the digital storefront, shouldn't it be noted that the game existed on the platform at some point, rather than completely removing mention of it? I know that the XBox version of Shovel Knight has (had?) some unique content based on Battletoads. If anything, we should note why the game was canceled/removed. ~ Mable ( chat) 20:37, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
surely it's garnered enough press to be notable? crude and silly yes, but we are meant to be impartial are we not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.117.97.34 ( talk) 17:01, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
I propose that
Shield Knight be merged into this article. The reason is simply that the character lacks notability; while there is coverage in reliable sources, most of it is passing and not enough for independent notability. This was also suggested by the closure of
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shield Knight.

It's actually a good idea, and I suggest that a wiki page for the characters of Shovel Knight would be created TwilightMidna ( talk) 23:52, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
Because you are asserting that gameplay reception does not constitute part of "reception" for a character
Broadly across Wikipedia, games are too often treated solely as works of fiction and ignore the part where you play it.
How it feels to play as Dante from Devil May Cry (his "game feel") is an important part of his character and comments about that should constitute part of the reception of that character.
The plot is too long and we should start considering creating a brief summary. I also recommend creating a Characters of Shovel Knight in order to preserve the details. I notice including Shovel Knight Dig in the plot. This article should only be for the game and the DLC. Any sequels like "Dig", "Pocket Dungeon", should probably avoid plot until they have their own respected articles. Blue Pumpkin Pie Chat Contribs 17:13, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
I think we should change out the gameplay screenshot. There's really no reason for it to be from a pre-release. Harmonia per misericordia. OmegaFallon ( talk) 20:22, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

This character article arguably fails WP:GNG with very little in the way of articles specifically about and critically discussing Shield Knight. Most references are either discussing the cast as a whole or reviews of the game itself in which Shield Knight is mentioned. The fact that the titular Shovel Knight, who appears in cameos in far more games, is still not notable enough for an article and yet somehow Shield Knight is, gives one pause. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ) 03:56, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
Shovel Knight was written in c++ and OpenGL [1]. I'm not sure where to add this and would like some help AbleTheAbove ( talk) 06:46, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

The current article is rather straining to read, particularly the plot sections. I suggest relevant images are added to said sections to break up the walls of text and make it clearer, easier, and more pleasing to the eyes. Thoughts? Caidren ( talk) 22:19, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
Currently, there are three Shovel Knight games which usually mean a series article needs to be created. I originally created the series article but it got deleted due of no sources and very little content. So why not create that again but with sources and much explanation. NatwonTSG2 ( talk) 01:05, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
When reading the Shovel Knight Wikipedia I notice that in the legacy section that there is no reference to the collaboration Shovel Knight had with Fall Guys. Could we possibly edit the article to talk about the Shovel knight costume in Fall guys?
