Update: Here’s what Yacht Club is saying about the situation:

I’m not really too sure what to make of that. Best Buy isn’t one to make mistakes, and we even have the boxart, so… I still think this is going to happen. We’ll see. If we hear anything either way, it’ll be right here on the site.

New product listings on Best Buy’s website reveals that Shovel Knight is seeing a physical release at retail.

Entries for 3DS, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One versions have been spotted. At the moment, it’s unclear if the Wii U version will be receiving the same treatment.

Based on Best Buy’s listings, Shovel Knight’s physical version will cost $29.99. It’s tentatively slated for September 15.

The Wii U GamePad is a perfectly fine controller, but it’d be tough to argue that developers have tapped into its potential. Even Nintendo has not yet produced a string of titles that truly show what it’s capable of. For the most part, titles we’ve seen thus far use the GamePad for off-TV play or as a map.

NintendoWorldReport reached out to four indie developers as part of a new article that touches on the lack of proper GamePad usage. You can find a collection of their comments below.

Renegade Kid’s Jools Watsham

“Nintendo helps promote…as much as the game helps to promote the innovative qualities of the Wii U.”

“If you’re going to dedicate your time and effort to taking advantage of the unique features of the Wii U, you need for it to pay off in sales if you’re going to be able to continue making games for a living.”

“The GamePad is clearly not the revolution that the Wii Remote was. There, I said it.”

“The Wii U never lived up to its own potential, even from its creators. You have to lead [by] example, and Nintendo are the kings of doing this, but they failed to deliver with the Wii U in terms of utilizing their own platform, which has resulted in a self-fulfilling prophecy.”

“It’s not like the Wii U has failed gamers in a general sense, but in regards to how well the GamePad has been utilized, overall [it] has unfortunately been somewhat of a failure. And that is Nintendo’s burden to bear.”
