3DS eShop

Shovel Knight had been tentatively scheduled to launch in September. However, the month went by without any sort of mention from Yacht Club Games, and it soon became clear that the game wouldn’t be out “on time”.

We now have a new release window, at least. A tweet from Yacht Club’s Twitter account states that Shovel Knight is due out sometime this winter.

Winter 2013? Next year? That’s anybody’s guess at this point!

1,001 Spikes features characters from other indie titles, like Nyx from NyxQuest. Others additions to the roster include President Thompson, Sugimoto, and a random zombie from 8-Bits Fanatics’ title.

Those who take on Thompson will be able to use his machine gun while Sugimoto has his katana. Zombie has a unique ability in that he can take one hit and survive – other characters perish after a single blow.

Last July, Tom Create released Escape from Zombie City on the Japanese 3DS eShop. The game is now confirmed to be releasing in North America next week, based on a listing on Nintendo’s website.

You can find the first English screenshots above. An overview is posted below.


Steam and PlayStation platforms both implement a cross-buy feature. As an example, if you purchase an indie title available for both the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita, you’re only required to pay once in order to receive copies for both platforms.

Unfortunately, Nintendo doesn’t offer similar functionality for its own systems. If you buy a game from the 3DS eShop, you don’t receive a corresponding copy for Wii U. You’re forced to pay a second time for what essentially amounts to the same game.

While cross-buy isn’t something that Nintendo currently offers, “the idea’s been talked about.” That’s according to Dan Adelman, the man in charge of all things indie at Nintendo of America.

He told Nintendo World Report:

“We don’t have anything new to announce on that, but I believe that the idea’s been talked about. So it’s something we’re definitely up to considering if there’s enough demand from developers, but nothing to announce for right now.”
