Yacht Club Games posted a new blog today that covers the upcoming Specter Knight campaign from Shovel Knight in-depth. You can see some animated images and a rundown of the character’s different moves here.

As for when the Specter Knight campaign is launching, that’s still unknown at this point. Yacht Club is currently working on all campaigns at once – Specter Knight and King Knight – plus Body Swap and Battle Mode features.

Here’s the rundown from Yacht Club:

When Shovel Knight originally kicked off we focused entirely on making the original Shovel Knight campaign the absolute best! It’s the game we originally pitched and knew we wanted to spend all of our efforts and energy polishing the core campaign. After release, we gathered everyone’s impressions before cracking open the game once more to brew up Plague of Shadows! Plague Knight was a chance to build upon and deliver all new story, characters, and playstyle. We made many iterations (threw out a lot of ideas), and learned some great lessons on how best to extend and change up the existing Shovel Knight game world.

With that experience fresh in our minds, the team here is now working on all remaining campaigns and updates at once! That means Specter Knight, King Knight, Body Swap, and Battle Mode (for PC and consoles). That’s a lot more game — and it should arrive sooner than the wait between Shovel Knight and Plague Knight. Creating these updates simultaneously will allow us to plan more cohesively. How levels change between the two characters, how much time is needed for new mechanics/systems, stories interweaving, and so on. Once we’re nearing completion on one set of updates, we’ll be switching our focus to a single campaign to make sure it’s polished for release. Then we’ll be doing the same by switching to the next campaign! Here are some answers to the most frequent questions:

Last month, Nintendo confirmed plans to localize Disney Magical World 2. The game will be launching in North America on October 14. There hasn’t been any news for PAL regions yet, but Disney Magical World 2 will almost certainly release in Europe and Australia since it’s now been rated in the latter territory.

Famitsu has pulled back the curtain on a new Battle for Money game on 3DS. Brace yourself: the title is “Super Battle for Money: The Ultimate Ninja and Battle Player’s Top Decisive Battle!”.

This new game is again based around the well-known Fuji TV show. Participants use dodgeballs to eliminate enemy targets in order to be the last one standing and win the grand prize. Support ninjas from the TV show are included along with brand new ones. Bandai Namco is also packing in a “My Ninja” feature that lets you use a meter to make your own ninja, stage original ninjas with their own special abilities, and more.

Japan will have Super Battle for Money: The Ultimate Ninja and Battle Player’s Top Decisive Battle! on September 15.

Mighty No. 9 is being released in North America today and to celebrate the occasion, Comcept live-streamed the game for a bit. Keiji Inafune was also present and answered some questions posed by viewers.

The game’s reception was middling at best – it’s currently sitting at a Metacritic score of 60. Users are also reporting several issues with the game already, such as slow load times on the Wii U version. Commenting on the general reception as well as DLC and future plans, Inafune said the following through a translator:

So there’s not any additional DLC beyond the Ray DLC. The reality is they put everything into making this game. They didn’t try to microtransaction it out, they didn’t try to DLC it out for extra money. They put it all in. So, for now, this is what you see and what you get, for the Mighty No. 9 world. But, again, we can hope that if things go well, there’ll be sequels. Because I’ll tell you what, I’m not getting my 2D side-scrolling fill. And at the end of the day, even if it’s not perfect, it’s better than nothing. At least, that’s my opinion.

You can watch the recording of the whole stream here.

Pokémon Shuffle has gotten its usual weekly update for both mobile and 3DS. Most importantly is a brand new Safari event, which will run until July 5th and gives players the chance to catch Shellder, Cloyster, Pidove, Tranquill and Unfezant, plus a chance for special Shiny versions of Magikarp and Gyarados.

There’s another chance to get Gyrados, though, as both a stage for it and Landorus Therian Forme are getting repeat runs until July 5th. Furthermore, a Tornadus Incarnate Forme stage has begun a repeat run, which gets easier with every attempt (but can only be played once a day, and only until June 28th).

The Gyrados love isn’t set to stop, though, as next week is set to bring a competition for Mega-Gyrados. Best get to catching both it and something super-effective for the challenge next week…
