CEMU 1.15.3 (Patreon Release) - 35 Minutes of Shovel Knight 4K 60 FPS
9I took a bit of a break from the emulation videos to test out some other things and also because I was feeling a little burnt out and tired the past few days. I've also been making some preliminary preparations for a video project I want to make next week.
I've kinda covered just about every major first party title for the Wii U (any I haven't covered have questionable playability at the moment or just don't work) as well as a few third party exclusives, so as far as CEMU goes, I'm running out of things to make these raw gameplay videos of. However, I'm trying to find a few multiplatform games that might have a good reason to play them in CEMU, starting with Shovel Knight.
Shovel Knight is available on just about every major gaming platform, including the PC platform and can be found on Steam. However, the Nintendo versions of Shovel Knight have exclusive amiibo compatibility ranging from a fairy that can accompany you in gameplay to a "Custom Knight" mode where you level up your character and can unlock exclusive abilities for them. You can also unlock exclusive challenges in the game's Challenge Mode using amiibo.
Not only that but Shovel Knight still has content slated for release in the near future in the form of King Knight's campaign, a Battle Mode, and three new amiibo figures, and as far as I know, these are still going to be released on Wii U. So that in combination with the amiibo features means this game has a compelling reason to play the game in CEMU despite already being on PC. It means you can get access to the amiibo content while playing on your PC at your preferred resolution. It's also handy for people like myself who played the game on Wii U and just want to migrate their experience to PC by importing their Wii U save data to their PC and continuing the game in CEMU.
As far as playability is concerned, the game is fully playable but does have some minor graphical issues, mostly in there being some slight displacement of graphics in the menu screens and sometimes the UI on the top of the screen stretches off screen.
