To thank European and Australian players for being so patient with the lack of Shovel Knight in the respective regions, Yacht Club Games have announced a Shovel Knight 3DS theme which will initially be coming to Europe before making its way to other territories. Details are fairly limited at the moment but they have shared a teaser image!
When Sakurai said there’d be a lot more customisation options compared to the 3DS version he wasn’t messing around, here’s just one of the many combinations that are on offer:

Gunman Clive 2 has been in the works for about a year, according to Bertil Hörberg.
Hörberg told Nintendo Enthusiast:
I started development in November last year, which may not seem very long ago, but I’ve already spent more time on it than I did on the first game. I don’t have the patience or the stamina to work on massive projects that takes several years, so the fatigue is really starting to set in and I’m hoping to be able to finish the game somewhat soon.
As for what we can expect from Gunman Clive 2: a slightly longer experience, a change in visuals, and improved controls. That’s on top of new enemies and obstacles, varied environments, and more special levels.
Overall, it’s a fairly straight forward sequel. The first game was rather short and people were asking for more levels, so that’s basically what I’m giving them, but at the same time, I’m trying to bring it up a notch and deliver a more exiting product with its own identity. The most obvious change is probably the color palette and there’s a bit more graphical detail as well. The controls is a bit faster and the jump a bit less floaty.
If you have SpotPass enabled on your 3DS, you should see a new visitor arriving at the StreetPass Mii Plaza shortly. Nintendo is sending out a Mii for “Kyle” – apparently to promote National StreetPass Weekend and Halloween.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
