Anybody else playing Shovel Knight? It's a platformer on Wii U, 3DS, and Steam. Really fun gameplay, kind of feels like a mash-up of Mega Man, Duck Tails, and Castlevania. The pixel graphics are fantastic, and the NES-style chiptune music is great.
Here, have some reviews: http://www.metacritic.com/game/wii-u/shovel-knight/critic-reviews
And check out a gameplay video!
There ARE some version differences (or at least there will be). The Wii U apparently will eventually get a multi-player battle mode, not sure if it will be local only or online too. I believe that is also coming to the Steam version. The 3DS version's difference (besides the 3D, which I hear is really good, but I bought it on Wii U and I never use the 3D on my 3DS anyways) will be some sort of Streetpass-based challenge mode, but I don't know much about it yet.
