Inti Create's retro action game Blaster Master Zero is one of the best selling games on the Nintendo Switch eShop, and the Mega Man IX and X creators are pushing the game further with new characters from other franchises that keep the map and the story, but change the gameplay.
The first one is the belly-dancer Shantae, property of WayForward, and everybody can grab her from the eShop for free from July 6 to 19, even without owning the game. She is a close combat character thanks to her whip-hair, but also offers some magic from long range.
The other character is one of the most famous pixelated characters designed in the last few years, Shovel Knight, and you can grab him for free between August 3 and 16. Shovel Knight allows you to dig the ground and jump over enemies with the shovel, as shown in the new trailer we've included down below.
Both DLC characters will be $1.99 USD after this free period, so you'd best be quick if you want to get them without parting ways with any of your hard-earned money. Who do you think will be best though?
