Shovel Knight dev would love to have local multiplayer, but says we shouldn’t get our hopes up

It may just be a pipe dream for now, but Shovel Knight developer Yacht Club Games’ Sean Valesco would love to have some form of local multiplayer in their upcoming sidescroller. After the The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords was mentioned to Valesco at PAX East this week by Destructoid editor Jonathan Holmes, he got pretty excited:

“Awww, just saying ‘Four Swords’ make my brain go electric! I want that so bad. Just picturing four Shovel Knight’s running and jumping and digging around on screen together at the same time… and the Wii U control pad? So many possibilities…”

Yacht Club Games probably wants to make it clear that this isn’t a hint at anything, nor is there any real chance this could make it in at this point. It’s just a dream that they may try, and may put into Shovel Knight down the line. Or they might not, and we’ll never hear of it again.

Keep your hopes in check!
