As it turns out, Yacht Club Games will likely be bringing its first game to Nintendo platforms.
We found out last night that the studio is working on the 8-bit NES-like project called “Shovel Knight”. While Yacht Club initially didn’t seem ready to announce that the game would be coming to a Nintendo system, the company has since confirmed that it is hoping to release the game on both Wii U and 3DS, through the eShop.
Along with the Wii U and 3DS, Yacht Club Games will be bringing Shovel Knight to the PC.

A World of Keflings coming to Wii U later this year
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
A World of Keflings originally launched on Xbox Live Arcade and just came out for Windows 8 today. Later this year, the game will also be released on Wii U.
NinjaBee plans to upgrade Kefling’s visuals on Wii U. The GamePad will also provide “new ways to interact with the game and its characters.”
According to art director AccoridBrent Fox:
“With the current generation of consoles coming to an end, we saw opportunities to bring what is perhaps our studio’s most well-loved game to many, many more players. With that said, we’re proud to announce that in addition to today’s release on Windows 8, A World of Keflings will be coming to the Wii U later this year.”
“Both of these new platforms offered us huge advantages and were ideal marketplaces for a light-hearted city-builder. Windows 8 gave us the chance to make the game mobile and add in very smooth, natural touch controls. The Wii U has allowed us to significantly enhance the game’s visuals and, with the Wii U GamePad, explore new ways to interact with the game and its characters.”
