Posted on 8 years ago by Zack in News | 1 Comment
Update (4/5): Now discounted by $7.23 on Amazon. If you already pre-ordered, you should automatically get the lower price.
Original (4/3): An Amazon listing for a book titled “Shovel Knight: Official Design Works” has gone up with a price of $39.99. This should be one of a few books Udon Entertainment announced in 2015.
The product description is as follows:
Shovel Knight is a sweeping classic action adventure game with awesome gameplay, memorable characters, and an 8-bit retro aesthetic created by Yacht Club Games.
Shovel Knight: Official Design Works collects the fun and original artwork behind this landmark title. Inside you’ll find key art, character concepts, enemy designs, sprite sheets, unused ideas, and an all-new Shovel Knight tribute art gallery! This epic tome is also packed with creator commentary, as well as exclusive interview with the Yacht Club Games team.
It appears to be 184 pages long, and is slated to be releasing later this year on August 29th according to the listing. There’s been no official announcement or comment from Yacht Club Games about this as of yet. You can see the page for yourself here.

Update 3: Pre-orders are closed off again, likely to correct the error.
Update 2: Back up for pre-order on Amazon here. The main price error has been fixed, as it’s now $40. However, if you have Prime, the error is still there, and you can save $16 (thanks Steven L). This will likely be addressed soon.
Update: Amazon has closed off pre-orders, unsurprisingly.
Original: Amazon now has the Switch version of Rime up for pre-order. We heard that this version of the game will be $40, but the retailer is currently offering it for $30. It’s undoubtedly a price error and one that will be fixed soon, but for now you can save $10 here.

NES Classic Edition fixes a 30-year-old typo with Zelda
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 9 Comments
When The Legend of Zelda originally came out here in the west nearly 30 years ago, Nintendo accidentally included an extra “N” in one of the game’s text lines. It took some time for folks to notice, but the NES Classic Edition version of Zelda finally corrects this.
Zelda was re-released in a collection on GameCube and many times over on the Virtual Console. For the NES Classic Edition, Nintendo finally decided it was time to address it. It may not be the biggest thing out there, but it’s interesting to see the error corrected after so many years.
