Original (12/10): Shovel Knight’s latest update (version 2.1) which allows for new functionality with amiibo is up and running in Europe on Wii U. It will soon be out on 3DS as well, but Yacht Club Games ran into “a small road bump on the way to finalization.” We’ll have the news here when the update can be downloaded for Nintendo’s portable.
As for North America, Yacht Club Games plans to prepare Shovel Knight’s patch by January 8.
