Shovel Knight is almost here. In just over a week’s time, Wii U and 3DS owners in North America will finally be able to get their hands on the game.
Thankfully, Shovel Knight doesn’t take up too much space. The download only clocks in at 184MB on Wii U, with the actual size coming in at 158MB once installed. And on 3DS, Shovel Knight only takes up 1,217 blocks on an SD card.
FUNimation has nabbed the distribution rights for the Bayonetta: Bloody Fate full-length feature film in the United States in Canada.

Miyamoto’s words in full:
