This is part 1 of my capture of me playing through Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment for the Wii U.  Specter of Torment is a free DLC expansion to the original Shovel Knight game.

The second major DLC expansion for Shovel Knight just got released on the Wii U even though the DLC was released last month as a launch title for the Switch.  Since I already owned Shovel Knight on the Wii U, I decided there was no reason to buy the game again for the Switch, and that I should just wait for the Wii U version's DLC to release.

I've already beaten Shovel Knight three times now thanks to the prior Plague Knight DLC and two-player mode from the amiibo, so I'm definitely a Shovel Knight veteran at this point.  I'm interested in seeing the differences from the prior campaigns, including how this DLC fits in as a prequel to the original Shovel Knight campaign.

So far the new mechanics are really throwing me for a loop, but we'll see if I get the hang of them later on.

In this first part I completed the Plains area.

Recorded with the Elgato Game Capture HD60 and the Wii U's HDMI cable at native 1080p resolution and 60 frames per second.  I'm using a Wii Remote.
