Shovel Knight’s Kickstarter campaign has just come to an end after a month of fundraising. The game managed to collect $311,502 in contributions – well over the initial $75,000 goal.

It’s safe to say that Shovel Knight has caught the interest of gamers. Thanks to their donations, all of the title’s stretch goals were reached. Shovel Knight will include a New Game +, three playable boss knights, a gender swap mode, challenge mode, and 4-player battle mode. You can find all of the accomplished stretch goals here.

Congratulations to Yacht Club Games on their success!

Club Nintendo’s European site has been a bit behind its North American counterpart when it comes to eShop downloads. Whereas the US site provides coins for pretty much all purchases, that hasn’t been the case in Europe – until now.

Wii U and 3DS owners will receive stars for all downloaded content from both eShops. You can then turn those points into rewards and other goodies on Club Nintendo.

Cloudberry Kingdom is heading to practically every major platform: Wii U, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PS Vita PC, and Mac. However, the game isn’t making its way to the 3DS… or is it?

Team lead TJ Lutz told Nintendo World Report that bringing Cloudberry Kingdom to the portable is “still in our minds, we would really love to do a 3DS port.” Lutz added that “there’s still a chance” of a 3DS version happening.

He said:

“It’s still in our minds, we would really love to do a 3DS port. I’m not giving up on it yet, I would say there’s still a chance.”
