Shovel Knight Co-Op Part 1

Danny and Arin return to Shovel Knight! Yay! They briefly reminisce on their previous playthrough with BEENIS before starting a new co-op adventure with the name BEEEEEEES.

I laughed out loud when Danny made a mistake and said "Shove Knight." He's the younger brother of Shovel Knight who doesn't have a shovel, so he just pushes people around. Fantastic improv moment there by him! The "Farmour" joke was pretty good too! :)

They begin by trying to figure out how to use the Amiibo to bring the second player in. They have to navigate menus! The horror! Plus, B is confirm for Shovel Knight's menus, whereas it's cancel for the Wii U's menus. Why didn't they match the Wii U's menu navigation by default?! The HORROR! Anyway, Arin gives the Amiibo the nickname beeeeeeees.

After a good five minutes, they finally get the shovel on the road! It's pretty fun seeing them running around beating enemies and collecting treasure together. They try some more confusing A and B menu navigation and see that Danny's unlocked loads of stuff he can then save to the Amiibo.

Arin humorously trips over his words at the end of the episode. It's good fun and banter and there'll be much more to come!
