Shovel Knight on 3DS has just received a new update. Patch 3.2 fixes a glitch that caused the game to crash when changing costumes or using the Bomb Burst ability when playing as Custom Knight. Some other minor bugs were also fixed.

Currently, the update is only live in Europe, but Yacht Club Games promised that it’ll be available on North American 3DS systems soon as well.

After the final round of content for Shovel Knight is wrapped up highlighted by the King Knight campaign, you can count on Yacht Club Games taking a break from the series for a little while. If and when the studio does return to the IP though, one possibility could see Shovel Knight entering the 3D space with a N64-type game.

This is something we’ve heard Yacht Club talk a bit about before, but the studio’s Nick Wozniak really seems interested in the idea. Wozniak stated the following when asked by AppTrigger where he’d like to see the franchise be taken next:

“Anything? I think one of the things we want to work on in the far future is definitely like a Shovel Knight 64, a 3D platformer. We would all love that. We all love Mario 64 to pieces and would just love to be able to jump into that.”
