Shovel Knight will soon be receiving a title update on Wii U and 3DS that will bring the game up to version 1.1. It’s already out on PC, though Nintendo players will need to wait just a bit longer.

Below are Shovel Knight’s 1.1 update notes in full:

Azure Striker Gunvolt is coming out in Japan on August 20. Siliconera reports that the North American launch will take place “in the weeks that follow, if all goes as planned.”

At the moment, Inti Creates is currently working on plans for a potential European release, which may include several languages – unlike the North American version.

Inti Creates CEO Takuya Aizu has also commented on the decision to have partial voice-acting for Azure Striker Gunvolt in North America. This edition of the game only has voices during the action portions. There will not be any voices during conversations.

If Atlus hadn’t stepped in to help out with Citizens of Earth, the game probably wouldn’t have seen the day of light.

Originally, Eden Industries hoped to fund its title through Kickstarter. But after the campaign failed to meet its goal, Atlus assisted the studio with funding.

Eden Industries co-founder Ryan Vandendyck explained to Siliconera how the two sides ended up working together:

Listings on Nintendo’s website confirm two new Virtual Console games for the North American Virtual Console. Ufouria: The Saga will be available for Wii U while Blaster Master is hitting 3DS. Both are due out tomorrow.
