Yacht Club revealed back in August that Shovel Knight had sold 180,000 copies in its first month.
Last month, beforemario published some photos of a 100 year-old promotion calender from Nintendo. It was given away to promote the company’s business. While the front has details about Nintendo, the back shows a calender.
You can find more information about the calender over on beforemario.
Tomonobu Itagaki and the team at Valhalla Game Studios have been working hard on Devil’s Third since the game was last shown at E3. Their effort has payed off, as Itagaki told one fan on his Facebook page that the visuals have been improved.
Itagaki mentioned that the textures, weapon and environment models, and lighting have seen an upgrade. Ultimately, “it’s looking completely different now.”
Itagaki’s words in full:
The amount of progress we’ve made since then will surprise anyone.?Higher-quality textures, improved weapon and environment models,?better lighting… it’s looking completely different now.
That’s not all Valhalla has changed in Devil’s Third. The assignment of buttons have been modified, and the HUD UI has changed.
Another two 3DS themes are now available in North America. You can purchase a theme based on The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, as well as one for “Mario: Items”. Each is priced at $1.99.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
