Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope is a pretty solid platformer. It doesn't feel like it does anything crazy or particularly new, but what it does it does very well. I could be wrong, but I think that when it came out it was one of the games that spurred the great old-school revival era of indie games. Everything was sprite based and sounded like something from the NES or SNES. So fuck you, Shovel Knight.
