Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 15 Comments
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.

Tezuka wants to make a Mario game that exceeds NSMB, interest in working on non-Mario project
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 16 Comments
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.”
