Update (9/8): Shovel Knight was raised to $25 on Amazon for a short time, but both versions are back down to $20.

Original (8/29): The retail version of Shovel Knight is seeing a slight price increase. It was originally going for $20, but it’s now being bumped up to $25.

There is at least a very good reason for the change in price. It turns out that the packaged edition will now include a soundtrack.

Amazon seems to be one of the few retailers left with pre-orders at $20. If you’re interested, put in a reservation here.

This week’s issue of Famitsu features an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka.

At one point of the discussion, Tezuka addresses the series’ future in which he states: “We will continue to make 3D and 2D Mario games, but I want to make one that even exceeds New Super Mario Bros.”

Famitsu then asks if there is a particular plan in mind. Tezuka only offered up the following: “I can’t say anything concrete yet, but you may see it within a few years.”

It also sounds like Tezuka has interest in working on a non-Mario title. He told the magazine: “I also kind of want to seriously work on something other than Mario.”

The game had been on track for September 8 (yes, tomorrow!), but it seems as though a delay has entered the picture. Toys “R” Us now lists Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams Director’s Cut for October 9.

Thanks to Jared for the tip.
