Always wanted to find a way to donate money to breast cancer research, but you're (curiously) allergic to pink ribbons? The Behemoth has a solution just for you! Meet: the Pink Knight, the latest warrior for old-school-melee-em-up Castle Crashers. He (knights are usually male, right?) comes with "the Lollipop and 4 other brand new additional weapons," all for the reasonable price of $1.99.
Too rich for your blood, you say? Well, The Behemoth is donating 100% of the revenue (that's all of it!) to "charities devoted to Breast Cancer Research." That's capitalized, so you know it's serious. And yes, it's true, this offer is PSN-only for now – with a February 8 release date – but it's not because XBLA owners hate women (ignore this); The Behemoth is "working hard on a title update for XBLA that will feature the Pink Knight as a playable character as well." But what do you do when life hands you (pink?) lemons? If you don't want to wait for pesky certification, you can donate to breast cancer research right here. There, doesn't that feel good?

Very cool. Also a great way to introduce ladies into the joyously bloody mess of slaughter that is castle crashers.

These are really fun and smart ways of getting donations. I hope it's a big success! I will definitely contribute to this.

PS3 downloads versus 360 downloads of this, could be the best fanboy battle ever, all in the service of donating to good causes.
I'll start: Me and all my XBOX FRIENDS are going to pay for this and download it and the PS3ers won't and they are dumb and they smell.

Is there going to be an upgraded form when you beat the game with the pink or is it a single character pack only?

JOYSTIQ DON'T LINK TO KOMEN!!
Did you even read what Kelly from The Behemoth said on the PS Blog?
"yeah, we’ve just seen a bunch of articles on this. makes us more than a little hesitant to donate through Susan G Komen. There’s better places for this money than going to lawsuits."

Ok I just have to say that this is 100% pure FREAKING AWESOME.
and I don't get to say that vary often.
Not only is it a good cause its also a price I don't think anyone with the game can say no to and its not a messily X% like you normally see its 100 perfreakin' percent.
Behemoth I'm not sure If I have said this already but your AWESOME!

I don't understand the link joystick wants me to ignore...why is it relevant?
Posted: Feb 4th 2011 6:41PM Mcmax3000 said
@darkfocus - Because it's a site about the nasty messages being sent to girls on Xbox Live (and other online gaming messages) and viewing a link about how women are treated on Xbox Live would contradict their statement of "but it's not because XBLA owners hate women" that was made right before the link was mentioned.

After watching BS about Breast Cancer awareness - I'm annoyingly opposed to people that solely support "breast cancer awareness".
