Looks like MegaMan… Smells like MegaMan… But it’s not MegaMan.


We have heard an almost obscene amount of Kickstarter gaming projects announce their support for Wii U if certain funding goals are met, but today we’ve got one for you from a developer that has recently been in the news:

Yacht Club Games was formed just recently by former members of the studio behind Mighty Switch Force!, WayForward Studios. Their first game will be called Shovel Knight, and it focuses on sidescrolling action, helmed by a knight who wields a “ShovelBlade” to destroy enemies. Sounds pretty decent, right? After all, we know these folks can make a mean platformer.

Initial news was that the game would be for PC only, but the game’s Kickstarter page says that if they hit their fundraising goal of $75,000, the game will make its way to 3DS and Wii U as well. Additionally, you can pledge $15 right now to “reserve” yourself a copy of the game on 3DS or Wii U when it comes out this coming September, so it’s almost like you’re just buying the game in advance!

The confusion surrounding Shovel Knight on Nintendo platforms has been cleared up. It is in fact coming to both Wii U and 3DS, as was originally thought.

Developer Yacht Club Games shared an early Shovel Knight PAX East banner on its Twitter account, which just so happens to contain logos for both systems.

Details regarding Kickstarter reward tiers for Wii U and 3DS are coming soon.

LEGO City: Undercover has now launched in North America, meaning you can purchase the game on the Wii U eShop if you so please. There’s just one caveat: the game costs $10 more than most retailers are selling it for.

If you want a digital copy of LEGO City, you’ll need to fork over $60. Meanwhile, retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop are selling the game for $50.

It’s unclear why there is a price increase on the eShop, but keep that information in mind if you plan on making a digital purchase.
