The folks over at Yacht Club Games are seriously committed to making up for the European and Australian delay of Shovel Knight. Today they announced a cross platform discount for those that are looking to pick the game up, offering a 33% discount on the subsequent purchase of the game until the end of 2014. Still no word on release date but with a promo window like that I’d imagine it’s got to be soon!

Details are fairly limited at the moment but they have shared a teaser image!

GameSource recently had the opportunity to interview David D’Angelo from Yacht Club Games. The discussion isn’t in English, but we were presented with a couple of noteworthy translations.

Here’s what D’Angelo shared regarding Nintendo’s support for Shovel Knight:

Nintendo was very helpful. They provided a great deal of marketing from featuring the game on the eShop and their website, to bringing the game with them to conventions around the country. They were also helpful behind the scenes, dealing with technical questions and listening to our wildest dreams. Creating Shovel Knight for the Wii U and 3DS was a smooth process, but of course, still a ton of work. Building a game for any platform comes with its own challenges and making a game feel unique and at home on the console is an important but hard problem to tackle!

On the topic of Shovel Knight’s sales, D’Angelo stated:

The game is selling really well on Nintendo platforms, and hopefully we’ll continue to keep making games for their systems. We love Nintendo, and they have been really great to work with for Shovel Knight.

The 3DS version of Shovel Knight has been updated to version 1.1, developer Yacht Club Games has announced. Grab it by heading to the eShop, visiting the “Settings/Other” tab, and then selecting “Updates”.

Today’s patch mainly addresses crash issues with the home menu. There is also an option in Shovel Knight’s main menu that makes updating to new versions easier.

Good news for those of us outside of the US waiting to get our hands on Shovel Knight, it’s officially been classified in Australia! Hopefully this means other regions will follow soon, I’d imagine Yacht Club Games will have an official press release in the coming days.
