Artist's commentary
Shovel Armor
We wanted to take a moment to spotlight a very special piece of "fan" art. One of the coolest parts of our launch stream was getting to introduce IGA and Takuya Aizu to some of the great retro-inspired games coming out in the West.
One of the games they played was Shovel Knight, an incredible tribute to classic 8-bit action-adventures. It inspired Yuji Natsume, Inti Creates' tireless artist and designer, to make this double-barreled fanart tribute. He calls it: "Shovel Armor."
